General
Printing Configurations
The General Printing Configuration will help you to
setup the print screens for various reports and transactions.
This Configuration is applicable to all the reports
that are printed from Tally.ERP 9.
In Printing General
Configuration, by default the following configurations are available.
Print Date
& Time of Report
Setting this option to YES,
Tally.ERP 9 prints system date and time on Report printout. After enabling this
option, (on all pages of report) sub-option gets displayed. This sub-option is
used to decide whether to print system date and time in all pages or in first
page only.
Print Date
& Time of Voucher Printing
Setting this option to YES,
Tally.ERP 9 prints system date and time on Voucher printing. After enabling
this option, (on all pages of voucher) sub-option gets displayed. This
sub-option is used to decide whether to print system date and time in all pages
or in first page only.
Print State and
PIN Code with Address
Setting this option to YES,

vouchers printing.
Note: This option also effect in invoice
Entry. During Invoice Entry, Party’s state and pin code is captured in

Vertical Lines/Borders
Setting this option to YES,

This enables faster printing in dot matrix printers.
Standard Space
on Top of pages (Inches)
This option is used to
set Top margin for reports and voucher printing.
By default, this field is set to 0.5 inch. However, you
can change it as per your requirement.
Settings for 'Quick Format'
Tally.ERP 9 prints in two formats – Neat and Quick. Neat
printing takes advantage of fonts of the printer and is the default. It also
compresses long data like long names and amounts and auto-fits them according
to space.
Quick printing is suitable for Dot Matrix printers where speed
is an issue. Hence, quick printing does Not print fancy fonts. The auto-fit
facility is, thus, Not possible in quick printing.
Therefore, it will truncate data longer than the allotted space.
To prevent this, Tally.ERP 9 provides two options:
Split Long
Names into Multiple Lines
This option enables to
split long names into multiple lines during printing.
Split Long
amts/numbers into Multiple Lines
This option enables to
split long amounts or numbers into multiple lines during printing.

Name and Address from left margin in invoice
