Printout settings

The Printout Settings window allows you to control the layout, content, and appearance of printed documents generated by the application. Using these settings, you can decide what information appears, how it is formatted, and how headers and footers are displayed.

These settings help you create clear, professional-looking printouts that match your company’s requirements.

Accessing Printout Settings

To view or change how printouts appear:

  1. Open the Main Menu
  2. Go to Settings
  3. Select Printout

This opens the Printout settings window.

Selecting a Printout Type

At the top of the window, you can choose which printout you want to configure.

Printout selector

Use the dropdown list to select a document type, for example:

  • Job card module / Worksheet
  • Invoice
  • Inventory documents
  • Other module-specific printouts

Each printout type has its own independent settings. Changes apply only to the selected printout.

All printout settings

Click this button to access global printout options that apply across multiple document types.

Printout Structure (Left Panel)

Each block represents a logical part of the document, such as:

  • Contractor
  • Customer
  • Dates
  • Tire
  • Object
  • Job card
  • Problems
  • Items
  • Sum
  • Notes
  • Order
  • Handover

Enabling or disabling blocks

  • Checked blocks will appear on the printout.
  • Unchecked blocks will be hidden.

This allows you to remove unnecessary sections and simplify the document.

Extra page

The Extra page option adds an additional page to the printout, which can be used for extended notes, attachments, or additional information.

The left panel shows the structure of the selected printout as a list of blocks or sections.

Printout Appearance (Right Panel)

The right panel controls the visual appearance of the selected printout.

Page settings

The Page Setup window allows you to configure printer-specific and page-layout options for printed documents. These settings determine how the document is placed on paper, including printer selection, paper size, orientation, and margins.

Logo

Allows you to add or change the logo displayed on the printout.

  • Logos can appear in the header or footer, depending on settings.
  • Useful for branding and official documents.

To change the printout logos and see the Images Settings.

Format

Appearance Options

These settings affect the visual style of the document:

  • Space between blocks

  • Frame around blocks
    Draws borders around individual sections.
  • Bold title
    Displays section titles in bold text.
  • Italics in headings

Header Settings

These options control what appears in the document header:

  • Footer logo

Saving Changes

Click OK to save your printout settings and apply them immediately.

Best Practices

  • Customize printouts separately for each document type.
  • Remove unused blocks to keep documents clean and readable.
  • Use headers and footers consistently for official documents.
  • Test printouts after changes to ensure the layout meets expectations.

Accessing Printout Settings from the Print Window

In addition to opening printout settings from the main Settings → Printout menu, you can also access document-specific printout settings directly from the print preview window.

This method is often faster when you want to adjust the layout while preparing a document for printing.

Step 1: Open the Print Preview

Select a record (for example, a job card) and click the Print icon in the toolbar then select the Job card document.

This opens the Print Job Card window with a preview of the document.

Step 2: Open Customize Settings

In the print preview window, click the Customize button in the toolbar.

This button opens the printout customization settings for the currently selected document type.

When to Use This Method

This access method is recommended when:

  • You want to fine-tune the layout while viewing the print preview
  • You need to quickly hide or show sections before printing
  • You want to test layout changes immediately without leaving the print window

⚠ Note: Changes made through the Customize button are saved and reused for future printouts of the same document type.
