3.4. Print the Status Log File

Printing a status log is similar to printing any other text document. Many printing features, of course, depend on the printer type and model.

Printing can be initiated from either of the following.

  • Print Preview window.
  • Print dialog box.

Print Preview Window

A status log can be printed through the Print Preview window.

A benefit to using print preview is being able to determine what pages should be printed.
