Section F - On-Line Reports

On-Line and Batch Printing Instructions

This section contains basic instructions on how to print PantherNet documents such as unofficial transcripts, class master reports and class rosters directly to a networked laser printer. A “networked” printer is a laser printer that is connected to the mainframe, not a laser printer connected to a desktop computer.

There are two types of printing on PantherNet: “online” and “batch.” Online printing is used directly from a menu and produces information about a student or a class – student schedules, transcripts and class rosters. Batch printing refers to report-style printouts that give information about many students or classes – (class masters, building and room report).

Every networked laser printer can print in three styles depending on the layout of the PantherNet document. The three styles are:

  1. Portrait-Large: used for class rosters (12-point text)
  2. Landscape-Small: used for class master reports and other wide reports that would usually print on green-bar paper
  3. Portrait-Small: used for unofficial transcripts

Two additional styles occasionally used are:

  1. Landscape-Large: used in Financial Aid
  2. Portrait-Extra Large: used for class rosters

Each of these different styles is identified by a printer number. Each style listed above has a different style number. Please contact the IT Help Desk to find your closest network printer and obtain the correct printer numbers.
