Almost all the reports in Retail ADVANTAGE Point of Sale Software first preview on your screen when generated.  You may not see the complete report on your screen until you maximize your screen.  To maximize your screen select the middle button of the three buttons found on the upper right hand corner of the report.  That button is between the button that looks like a dash, which is the minimize button, and the x button which will actually close the report. 

To print your report select the print report button found on your tool bar.  You will also see options to output your report to notepad, analyze with excel, publish with word and send via email.  You must have Microsoft Excel 97 or later installed on your computer to use the analyze with excel option.  You must have Microsoft 97 word or later installed on your computer to use the publish with word option.  In order to use the send option you must have a MAPI compliant email program installed on your computer like Microsoft outlook or Microsoft exchange.  Just select those options to see what you can do on your computer.  

If you see that your report does not print clearly or does not view fully on your computer, you may need to reset your default printer in your control panel to your report printer.  Since you may have your receipt printer set as your default printer in you printers the preview of your reports will not look as attractive if you had your reporting printer setup as your default printer.  You may have to switch your default printer when you running reports and switch back to your receipt printer when you are running point of sale.  Whenever you do make changes to your printer settings on your computer make sure Retail ADVANTAGE Point of Sale Software is closed.  Retail ADVANTAGE Point of Sale Software recognizes your printers on startup of the program.
