General Printing Configurations

The General Printing Configuration will help you to setup the print screens for various reports and transactions.

This Configuration is applicable to all the reports that are printed from Tally.ERP 9.

In Printing General Configuration, by default the following configurations are available

Print date and time of report

Setting this option to Yes, Tally.ERP 9 prints system date and time on Report printout. After enabling this option, (on all pages of report) sub-option gets displayed. This sub-option is used to decide whether to print system date and time in all pages or in first page only.

Print date and time of voucher printing

Setting this option to Yes, Tally.ERP 9 prints system date and time on Voucher printing. After enabling this option, (on all pages of voucher) sub-option gets displayed. This sub-option is used to decide whether to print system date and time in all pages or in first page only.

This option is used to set Top margin for reports and voucher printing.

By default, this field is set to 0.5 inch. However, you can change it as per your requirement.

Settings for 'Quick Format'

Tally.ERP 9 prints in two formats – Neat and Quick. Neat printing takes advantage of fonts of the printer and is the default. It also compresses long data like long names and amounts and auto-fits them according to space.

Quick printing is suitable for Dot Matrix printers where speed is an issue. Hence, quick printing does not print fancy fonts. The auto-fit facility is, thus, not possible in quick printing.

Therefore, it will truncate data longer than the allotted space. To prevent this, Tally.ERP 9 provides two options:

Split long names into multiple lines

This option enables to split long names into multiple lines during printing.

Split long amts/numbers into multiple lines

This option enables to split long amounts or numbers into multiple lines during printing.

Print party name and address from left margin in invoice

This option enables you to print the Party Name and Address from left margin in invoice during printing
