Printer Definitions
The Select PrintDefs window is displayed when you select the List PrintDefs function key while
in the Print Options window. This window can be used to select a printer definition. Printer
definitions perform printer initialization, such as compressing text and printing reports in
landscape mode.
The PRINTDEF.PUB.NETBASE program is used to create Printer Definitions. Printer definitions
are not associated with a print device. If you select a printdef, you also need to specify the device on
which to print the report. The VISTA administrator will have more information on Printer
Definitions and how to define them.
The Select PrintDef window displays printer definitions and permits one to be selected. The
terminal’s up and down arrow keys can be used to scroll through the available printer definitions.
