Configure print styles
Print styles make it possible to apply custom print formats to printed calculations. You can set up styles that include elements such as a cover page or headers and footers, and designate a print style as the default style for others in your organization to use. When someone prints a calculation, they select the print style to use and the print will use the defined settings.
