Print Preview Setting

There are two settings for print preview.

The first setting determines whether the print target is enabled or not. It is not configured by default.

When this setting is checked, end user can not choose the print target.

When this setting is unchecked or not configured, end user can choose the print target, print preview or print directly.


The second setting determines the default print target option. It is not configured by default, meaning the option is to print directly.

When the option "print directly" is selected, the default print option from print UI is "print directly".

When the option "print preview" is selected, the default print option from print UI is "print preview".
