In software you can print the data in two modes.
These two buttons are available on many software windows:
Quick Print mode, which lets you print directly to the default printer
When you click this button no questions about choosing a printer etc nor confirmation will be asked just the data goes directly to the printer.
In this mode the data will be printed as text only
Print Preview mode. Advanced mode that lets you customize the document output.
When you click this button then a special Print Preview window opens where you can use customization features.
But of course you can use it for direct printing as well.
In this mode the data will be printed as it looks like on software features
All functions are described in the next topics
