This command can also be executed from the SpecsIntact Explorer's Toolbar, Right-click menu, or by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+P.
The Other Documents tab offers a convenient way to print additional files associated with your Job. This feature is most commonly used for integrating supplementary pages, such as the Cover Page or SI Other Documents, into the printed output. The tab remains unavailable if no cover page or SI Document is in the Job, as its core function is for printing such documents.
The available and default print processing options in SpecsIntact differ between Jobs and Masters, reflecting their distinct purposes and requirements.
To learn more about creating and adding Cover Pages, refer to the File menu > Properties > Cover Page topic, and to learn about creating and managing SI Document Templates, refer to the Tools menu > SI Document Templates topic.
Click the tab commands on the image below to see how to use each function.
- Print - Provides the options to print a Cover Page or SI Documents, with an additional option to omit headers and footers on the SI Documents only.
- Print cover page - Provides the option to select and print a Cover Page.
- Print SI Documents selected below - Provides the option to select and print SI Document Templates. While not frequently used, you can create and manage these templates in the SpecsIntact Explorer Tools menu > SI Document Templates. This option is only available when the Job contains a SpecsIntact formatted Cover Page or document.
- Omit header and footer for SI Documents - Provides the option to remove the header and footer from the printed SI Document Templates. This option is only available if SI Document Templates have been created within SpecsIntact. If no templates exist, this feature will not be accessible, as there are no documents for which to omit the header and footer.
