Print Preview Window

The Print Preview window allows you to print most grids in PDQ Inventory. The components of the Print Preview window are the Print options, Toolbar, 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.

Print Option

Description

Print All

Prints every row of the grid, regardless of which row(s) are selected in the grid.

Print Selected

Prints only the selected row(s) of the grid.

Best Fit (Multiple Rows)

Prints each item as a multiple row to adjust for the best fit of the text within each column. This prevents text wrapping where possible.

Best Fit (Single Row)

On Screen Column Widths

Prints the columns in the widths selected on screen prior to selecting Print Preview.

Additionally, you can choose which of the visible columns to print by using the Print checkbox. All changes made in this page are applied globally to all collections.

2.While viewing other grids such as the Computer window, a Report, or even Scan Profiles, you can access the Edit Columns window with one of the following options:

Click the Customize this grid button (upper-left corner).
