2. Setup→Preferences→Data Parameters
   1. Set the number of reporting decimals to be printed or displayed on documents.
   2. Set the digit symbol to display large amounts (e.g. 1000.00 as 1,000.00 on documents).
   3. Set to display the currency sign on documents.
3. Setup→System Parameters→Documents
   1. Set the default layout file for all documents, if you have your own and / or the layout file for each of your documents (if you have separate layout files for each document type - Invoices, Credit Notes, Purchases, Supplier Returns, Orders and Quotes).
   2. Print frames on documents which are part of the layout files.
   3. Print the standard company logo on documents.
   4. Set the Auto-post documents on print.
4. Setup→System Parameters→Company Info (Options) - Set the default Output format (i.e. screen, printer, file, e-mail or fax). This option should be set to the option on which you wish to print most of your documents.

The Document Print Options is part of the Document Selection screen. It will display the default settings (i.e. Layout file, Paper Type and Send Report to Option).

The default settings should be set to print most of your documents. If you wish to change any option for a specific document, you may do so before printing the document.

The options to print a document are set once, but may be changed when your requirements change. The following Print Options are available for documents:

1. Layout file - The default layout file, as selected in the Setup→System Parameters→Documents menu option for the document type, will be displayed. You may select any valid layout file from the drop-down list.
   - All layout files (default as well as any layout files created or edited in the Tools→Report Designer menu option) which exists in the Reports folder in the TCASH3/Bin directory, or Bin folder of the directory in which TurboCASH is installed on your system, will be listed.
2. Paper Type - Select Pre-printed, Plain A4. Service, Plain Eyeline and Forty.
   - If you select pre-printed paper, no headings for the document will be printed. (e.g. the word Tax Invoice is already printed on the pre-printed paper, therefore TurboCASH will not print the word Tax Invoice, etc.)
   
   - The paper type you have selected in the Setup→System Parameters→Documents menu option for each document type, should be displayed. You may select the paper type to print this specific Document.
   
   - Depending on the Paper Type selected, you may need to add the correct type of paper in your Printer ‘s paper tray.
   
   - A range of stationery is available for documents, statements, etc.
3. Send Report To - You may view any document on screen, print the document on the printer, save a document in a file, send via e-mail or via a fax.
   - You may send the Document to the Screen, and print it from the option on your screen.
   
   - TurboCASH allows you to send the Document via e-mail or on fax directly to your debtors (customers) or creditors (suppliers), provided that your system is configured for the Internet and the e-mail addresses are valid, and your fax drivers are set correctly.
4. Copies - You may select the number of copies only if the send to printer is selected.
5. Printer Setup - Documents will by default always print on your system’s default printer, or to the printer which you have selected in the Setup→Preferences→Printer menu option. If you click on this option, the printer screen will be displayed. You may then select any available printer on your system from the print screen.
   - You may select a different printer than the default printer, and set the paper size, margins, etc. if you have selected a dot-matrix printer.
   
   Whenever you have finished the option to create or edit documents for your debtors (customers), (Invoices, Credit Notes or Quotes) and documents for your creditors (suppliers) (Purchases, Supplier Returns documents or Orders), TurboCASH will ask you to confirm if you wish to Print the Document.
   
   - The description Do you wish to print this Invoice now? will change to reflect the selected document type.
6. If you click on the Yes button, you may print the document.
   - If you do not wish to print the document at this stage, click on the No button. You may print the documents later in this Input→Documents→Print menu option when necessary. You may also re-print documents, whenever necessary, whether it is updated (posted) to the ledger, or not.

Documents may also be printed or re-printed from the following options:

1. Document Selection screen - Click on the Print button in the processing options section of the Document Selection screen.
2. Input→Documents→Print menu option.
3. Documents tab of the Edit→Accounts→Debtor (Invoices, Credit Notes and Quotes) and Edit→Accounts→Creditor (Purchase, Supplier Returns documents and Orders) menu options.

- You may set the auto-post documents on print option in the Setup→System Parameters→Documents menu option to update (post) documents automatically, once a document is generated and printed. If you do use this feature, and you click on the Yes button not to print a document once it is generated, you need to update (post) the unprinted documents in the Input→Update Ledger menu option.
