How Do I's

Helpful Overview

Reports, Print Item Cards

With this feature you can print all or some of your cards.

Note:

A card set is the number of cards that were set to print the last time

was clicked.  It is a snapshot in time.

You can print or re-print those cards as often as you want.  The next time you click on

a new card set will over-write the previous card set.

You can continue to add new items without interfering with the printing of the cards in this card set.

You print or re-print cards after

has been run.

Card counts

After you have clicked on

you will see the number of cards that will be printed as well as a breakdown of the number of each card type.

If at this time you only want to print author cards, uncheck every other card type and only generate author cards.

Note:

This feature is very handy when you have added a number of items and never generated cards.  Instead of having to generate and print all 4,389 cards, you can choose one specific card type and only have to generate and print 648 cards.  This helps to break a big job down into smaller parts.  When you clear the swtiches after everything has printed ok, only the switches for the chosen card type will be reset.  All other switches will still be set so you can generate and print those cards whenever you are ready.
