IBM iAccess – Client Solutions (Java) Report Printing Setup.

Problem: Reports when printing, are cutting off the ends of rows and bottom of pages.

Note: With AS400 "Reports" in general, they are set to a predetermined font, number of rows and characters per row for each page, this was based on the old Windows Client Access software.  If the following settings still fail to produce suitable printouts, the EAS team should work with the user and new iAccess Java client, to scale the report pages correctly.

Procedure:

1. Open IBM iAccess – Client Solutions and login to the Display and Printer sessions.

2. On the Printer tab, Click- Communication, Configure. The following window will open.

Print Session Configuration

3. Go to “Page Setup” and set “Best Fit Scaling” as following window appears.

Best Fit Scaling

4. Exit the configuration window, OK

5. From the Printer tab, Main Menu, Click- File, Save As…, and choose the location of your Printer.hod. (Opened by the batch file usually. Check the path.)

Save Workstation Profile

6. Save the Printer session settings to the hod file.

7. Test printing the Report to see if it fits the page properly and all content is present.
