Maintaining Print Styles

Use Print Style Maintenance to define the price printing options for order documents. The print styles defined in Print Style Maintenance are used throughout the order entry system. For example, from the purchase order header screen, the system uses these print styles as options for the Print Style field.

Your installer is responsible for defining print styles. Work with your installer to set up any special print styles at the time of installation. To define print styles for forms that you send via e-mail, set the Default E-mail Print Statusescontrol maintenance record.

To maintain print styles:

From the System > System Files > Printer Setup menu, select Print Style Maintenance to display the Print Style Maintenance screen.

Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.

In the Print Style field, select a print style from the displayed list.

The screen displays the print style's header information in the following fields.

Field	Description
AltDesc	Whether this print style uses the product's alternate description.
AllGens	Whether this print style applies to all generations of the order.
Description	The description of the print style.

The screen also displays the following information for each column defined for the print style:

Field	Description
Column #	The column number of data displayed in this style.
Start Pos	The start position of characters in that column.
Format	Whether the characters are right or left justified followed by the pound sign (#) and the number of characters that can print.

Extend	Whether the column's characters can be extended.
Heading	The heading for the column.

Edit the fields as needed.
Press Esc to save the changes.

To return to the original print style before your changes, use the Recall hot key before you exit the screen.
To delete a style, use the Delete hot key. The system prompts you to confirm the deletion. Once you delete a style, you cannot recall it.
