Quit to return to the Select File menu.

Choose Report Destination to specify where you want the report to be
printed. To send the report to a printer, choose the port (COM1 or
COM2) your printer is attached to. To save the report as an ASCII
text file, choose File. The File window will open, showing the name
and path of the file to be saved. The default file name is the name of
the application file, and the default directory is the application file
directory. The file extension is .RPT. You can change the name and
the path, but not the extension.

Choose Print FILENAME (where FILENAME is the name of the
application file you selected in step 3) to print the specified reports.

If you try to print when the printer is off-line or out of paper, there may be
long delays, and PanelBuilder may not respond to attempts to abort
printing. If this occurs, put the printer back on-line (press the ONLINE
button and verify the ONLINE indicator, reload the printer with paper and
put it back on-line, or momentarily power-down and power-up the printer).
