Initially, the standard reports that are provided with Monsoon Order Manager print on the Windows default printer of the current (local) workstation. If the program is being used on a LAN, it might be preferable to have all reports of a specific type print on the same shared printer rather than at each workstation. For example, if a special form is being used to print Invoices, it is would be simplest to have that special form placed in a specific tray of a single printer that can be accessed by all workstations in the LAN.
Make sure the program is set to Show the Microsoft Access ribbon before beginning this process. Go to Main Menu>Settings>Hide or Show the Microsoft Access Ribbon and select Show.
From the Main Menu, press the F11 key to open the database window.
Select the Reports group from the left-hand navigation pane labeled Objects.
Select the report to be modified.
From the File menu, select Page Setup and then select the Page tab.
Select Use Specific Printer.
Select Printer and select the preferred printer from the drop-down list.
Select OK twice to exit the Page Setup screen.
Minimize the database window.
Making a change such as this, is in fact creating a custom report. To retain the change that was made, especially after upgrading the program to a different version, make sure that this report is given a different name than the standard report name with which it is shipped, and save it in the Custom Reports database.
