Printing
From Tailwind Wiki
Overview
Most lists and forms can be printed directly from the system.
The key combination CTRL + P is reserved throughout the system, and serves to invoke the default print behaviour of whatever record or list you are currently viewing.
Other options for printing include:
- Choosing File → Print from the File Menu
- Clicking the Print button in the Horizontal Toolbar
- Choosing Print in the file menu on some records
- This is used for records from which multiple reports are generated - all available reports will appear in this Print menu
- Clicking a button to print a report
- The Print Invoice button on an Invoice Record, for example
Output Options
Beyond sending information to a printer, the print window offers the following additional options for output:
| Destination | Functionality |

| Sends the document as an email
Allows any user to send emails directly from Tailwind. Pulls email addresses from the related records and automatically generates a message to the desired parties with the document attached. See HOWTO: Configure Email from Tailwind CMS for details on configuration.
