The Print Preview window allows you to print most grids in PDQ Inventory. The components of the Print Preview window are the Toolbar, the Print options, and the Preview pane.
In the Print Preview window you can select the print options, view and control the output of the document, then choose to print or export the report. The following table provides quick reference for each print option.
