Printing Reports

You can specify page settings and page orientation for a printed report from the following UI locations:

  • The Report Properties dialog box on the client report definition (RDLC) report layout in Visual Studio.

  • The Properties dialog box for the printer.

  • The Print dialog box that is displayed immediately before you print.

  • The Page Setup dialog box from the Print Preview page in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client.

The page settings that are used for the printed report depend on the mode in which you print the report.

You can use the following modes to print a report:

  • Run a report that has the UseRequestPage Property set to No, and therefore, does not display a request page.

  • Print a report from the request page without previewing the report.

  • Print a report from the Print Preview page.

    Note

    The printer that you use determines what to do if the actual paper size in the printer differs from the page size that is specified.

With Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client, from the print preview, you can only print to a local printer. To print from the print preview, you must the install a client-side component. For more information, see Printing Reports from ReportViewer.
