Cover page location: Determine whether the cover page is placed before or after the report.
Print cover page with filter details (PDF printing disabled): Determine whether to print the filter details of a report on a separate page. The filter details are placed before the contents of the report. This check box is cleared by default.

For more information about auto-text, see Specifying the header and footer for a report.

Select Show advanced options to access the following options:
Paper size: Select the paper size on which to print a report. The default is Letter 8.5" x 11".
Margins (Inches): Set the left, right, top, and bottom margins. For reports to print according to these settings, these margin settings and the margin settings in the browser's File > Page Setup option must match. The default value for each margin is 0.75 inches.
Maximum header size (Inches): Set the size at which the report header can be overwritten. If the header is larger than its maximum size and the report must use the space to display its content, the header is cut off by the report content. If the report does not use the space, the entire header is displayed, regardless of size. The default header size is 5.0 inches.
Maximum footer size (Inches): Set the size at which the report footer can be overwritten. If the footer is larger than its maximum size and the report must use the space to display its content, the footer is cut off by the report content. If the report does not use the space, the entire footer is displayed, regardless of size. The default footer size is 5.0 inches.
Embed fonts (PDF printing enabled): Determine if you want to use the original fonts chosen by the report designer to display and print the PDF, even on machines that do not have those fonts installed. This ensures the portability of the PDF. This check box is cleared by default.
Do not prompt me again: Determine whether you would like to be prompted with the Print Options dialog box the next time that you want to print. You can clear this check box to save the current settings and not be prompted to answer them again.
