Defer a Report

Deferred printing allows you to save reports on your hard drive for printing at a future time. You can batch print multiple reports at one time without operator intervention between reports. You can also specify the number of copies to print for each report, as well as whether to retain the deferred report information for future use after printing. In a multi-user environment, this feature can postpone the report printing process if printers are not currently available or it can speed up the posting process.
