Printing Report Result

Logi Report relies on the JDK to create the printable version of report result. By default the JDK 1.4 printing method is used, but you can use other versions.

  3. If you want to separate a large page during printing, select Separate large pages. When you print a report with a report page size which is larger than the print paper size, the report will be printed in multiple pages serially. That is, Logi Report will automatically separate a large page of a report.
  4. Select the Apply button to save the changes, and then select the OK button to close the dialog.

Printing with the JDK 1.4 Printing Method

    In order to overcome the limitation of JDK 1.1.x, Logi Report is required to be calibrated on the very first print so that the lines and text can be printed correctly. You will only need to calibrate once for each printer that Logi Report uses. Select the Test button, and follow the window instructions.

  4. Select OK to print the report.

Printing with the JDK 1.2 Printing Method (deprecated)

The JDK 1.2 printing method will provide you with a satisfactory result, even for .gif files, but is slow in speed.
