Section 1: General Information
PrintBoss is an application that adds flexibility and features to the task of printing multi-part accounting documents on Laser printers. In spite of their superior print quality and speed, laser printers have introduced some new challenges with printing accounting documents.
PrintBoss solves these problems by offering the following features:
•
PrintBoss can print multiple copies of any document.
•
PrintBoss can enable unique printing for each copy, such as a legend.
•
Each copy can be printed in a different order, or to a different printer, or from different trays within the same printer.
•
PrintBoss can allow signatures to be printed on checks with security.
•
PrintBoss can print text or graphics based on conditions of the document (e.g. document amount).
•
Document design can be enhanced.
The PrintBoss application uses a special Windows Printer driver in order to interface with Sage 300. Once the appropriate settings are made in PrintBoss and Sage 300, sending a document to PrintBoss requires no extra steps for the user.
Section 2: Setup in Sage 300
LOAD THE CRYSTAL REPORTS
During the installation of PrintBoss
•
Select Sage 300 as the Host Accounting Package.
•
Crystal reports for AP Checks, Payroll Checks, Purchase Orders and some AR & OE documents are installed into the
PrntBoss\Specs\Accpac\* directories, where the asterisk is the version number.
•
On the final "Setup Complete" screen, click on the "Start Install steps special for this host" to have PrintBoss copy these files into the appropriate Sage 300 directories.
•
If the "Start Install steps special for this host" button is NOT selected, the modified crystal reports will need to be manually copied into the appropriate Sage 300 directories.
•
Please note that the modified crystal reports are Sage 300 version specific.
•
Copying these modified crystal reports into the Sage 300 directories will not overwrite any of the standard Sage 300 reports. It only makes these reports available for use by Sage 300.
While several of the report names are the same from one version to the next, PrintBoss has unique directories for each version of
SAGE 300 being used. In the PRNTBOSS\SPECS\ACCPAC directory, there are separate folders:
VER60 = reports for Sage 300 version 6.0
V ER61= reports for Sage 300 version 6.1
V ER62= reports for Sage 300 version 6.2
If you are using an older version of Sage 300, please contact Technical Support. If you upgrade to a newer version of Sage 300, you will need to update PrintBoss to obtain the modified Crystal Reports that we distribute for that version.
BANK SERVICES
Once a company is opened in Sage 300, select COMMON SERVICES / BANK SERVICES / BANKS.

• Copies
0 = just the original (increase to print copies).
• Auto-Archiving
Typically set to "Overwrite work files at start of batch". If printing copies, please refer to the manual for more details.
Multi-Parts & Printers Tab:
These settings are work station and user specific when<Locally> is selected under "Printer & Tray Selections Saved InR” at the bottom of this tab.
• Print Time
• Source Tray
• Destination Printer
Original set to "Immediate". If copies are set to batch, research archiving method settings to avoid lost documents. (See user manual).
Pulls the paper from the selected tray. This is based on the current printer in PrintBoss. The tray names may change if the printer selection changes.
May be used to send designated copy to a printer other than the PrintBoss default printer. This field is also used for other PrintBoss functions, such as Emailing, Faxing, and creating PDF files.
Section 4: Using PrintBoss with Sage 300
If the PRINT DESTINATION in Sage 300 is set to PREVIEW, the view on the screen will be prior to any PrintBoss formatting. The actual accounting data should be visible along with the "PrintBoss Trigger" which is a line of text in small font that begins with
"PB#INFO". If you print to PREVIEW, you must select the PrintBoss printer driver from the preview and then click on PRINT again to send the documents on to the physical printer. Because these steps are required each time you print to PREVIEW, we recommend that your print destination within Sage 300 be set to PRINTER.
When checks are printed from Sage 300, print to the PrintBoss printer driver. When printing checks, PrintBoss will automatically recognize the bank account. If the bank code has not been entered in the PrintBoss bank list exactly as it appears in Sage 300,
PrintBoss will prompt the user to select the account the first time checks are printed from that account. After the first time, PrintBoss should automatically recognize each account. No additional key strokes will be necessary by the user.
When printing other documents from Sage 300, print using the modified Crystal Report to the PrintBoss printer driver. No additional key strokes will be necessary by the user.
