Report is Sent Directly to the Printer Rather than Opening a Preview

Any time multiple reports are being generated at one time, they are automatically sent to the printer. If it is a single report, it is usually displayed in the Report Preview screen.

Here are a few cases where multiple reports are generated and sent to the printer:

• Highlighting multiple records/rows and generating a report for each line
• Multiple copies of invoices (Customer Copy/Accounting Copy)
• Running a report that produces one copy per customer - e.g. the Event Order Confirmation for all event customers

One way to prevent unwanted mass printing is to set the default printer on your computer to a PDF writer or MS Image writer. Instead of sending directly to the printer, it prompts you to save as a PDF or XPS document.
