== Summary ==
 
The following article explains how you can set a particular Platinum program to print to a specific print record. For example, you may want to print workshop invoices to a colour printer rather than your default one.
 
 
 
== More Information ==
 
First of all you will need the printer to be installed on the computer you are working on.  Either do this yourself or {{SalesContact}} and they will be able to quote you for the time taken to install it for you.
 
 
 
Once the printer is installed you will need to do the following:
 
 
 
== Creating the Print Record ==
 
* Follow [[How do I create a new print record?|this]] article on creating new print records.
 
 
 
== Telling Platinum to use your new print record ==
 
* Go to {{Menu|{{RP}}|Maintenance Options|Systems Administrator|Security & Print Configuration}}.
 
* Press {{KeyPress|F3}} to get to an empty line, i.e. the line below the last entry in the list.
 
* In the {{DataPrompt|Program}} field, press {{KeyPress|C-F1}} to bring up a search window.
 
* In the {{DataPrompt|Filter On:}} field, type in a search word for the program you are looking for, for example, if you wanted to find the program that produces a workshop invoice, you would type {{DataPrompt|document}} and press {{Button|Search}}.
 
{{Note|All Platinum programs start with {{DataValue|SXP}} followed by the module, so {{DataValue|ST}} for {{ST}}, {{DataValue|VS}} for {{VS}} and {{DataValue|WS}} for {{WS}} etc.}}.
 
{{Note|If you require help in finding the correct program, please {{SupportContact}}.}}
 
* When you have located the correct program, get your cursor across to the columns labelled {{DataPrompt|Print Records}} and enter in the number of the print record you created in the section above in both columns.
 
* Click {{Button|Exit}} to save your changes.
 
* Press {{KeyPress|ESC}} to exit out of the Settings.
 
* The next time you print the relevant document it will now print to the new print record you have set up.
