Print settings in Matrix

We have noticed that many users are still struggling with getting Matrix to print listings properly. There are two significant issues:


1. The text is printed very small and is therefore difficult to read.

2. Some of the text on the right side of the report is cut off.


Although we have addressed the small text issues by creating large font versions of many Matrix displays, which are available in the “Additional Reports” section of the Matrix Print screen, there are also browser settings that you should modify:


1. You should modify your browser’s page print margins to maximize the usable area on a page. This will provide printouts with larger type that are easier to read. By default browsers use large page margins (typically ¾”) (.75), by adjusting the margins to just ¼” (.25), the amount of printable area available for the report is significantly increased, allowing the browser to print larger sized text so that reports are easier to read.

2. Additionally, there is a shrink-to-fit setting that, if not properly configured, will cause the Matrix reports to be cut off on the right side of the page.
