Making Report CE® Use All the Space on a Page

When a Report CE report prints, you may find that it only prints on part of the page. There might be a "wasted" region of white space on the right hand side or the bottom. You can resolve this problem by changing the page size settings (REPORT | PAGE SIZE) for the report.

If you only get part of the sheet up/down, you have two choices: you can increase the height (this will give you more lines of text) or reduce the width (this will allow Report CE to use a larger default font so it will fill up more of the page).

If you only get part of the sheet right/left, you have two choices: you can increase the width (this will give you more characters per line) or reduce the height (this will allow Report CE to use a larger default font so it will fill up more of the page).
