To print a report...
Before printing, it’s a good idea to check design information to make sure all details are up-to-date.
Click the Print icon or select File > Print.
Select the printer or plotter you want to use and required number of copies.
To select a report type, click the Options button. The Print Options dialog opens.
Select a report type in the Print panel. Multiple reports can be batched as part of the same print run. Tick the checkbox next to each.
Select tabs to customize report details as required. Tabs vary with the report type.
Click OK to close Print Options.
If you are using a plotter, click Properties, and set pen colors to correspond with the thread colors in the design.
Note
Refer to your plotter manual for information on setting up pen colors.
