Choosing a printer: Use Printer Setup to select your printer from within the application. Note that Senior Systems offers Print2PDF, a free enterprise-level PDF printer tool.
Storing your files digitally: Senior Systems provides a PDF printing tool, compatible with both PCs and Macs, that allows you to create PDF printouts quickly and easily. This tool is automatically available for all of your Ascendance applications on your hosted site. See Paperless Printing Solution for details.
Exports: The Cloud provides automatic integration with MS Word and Excel 2010. In order to take advantage of this feature, you must update the Word Processing Run Command found in your User Preferences to the command below:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\WINWORD.EXE
Import/Export file names: In general, avoiding the use of spaces is a best practice for naming files and folders. When using the Cloud, it is particularly important. Because of the potential differences between platforms (user's computer, school's network, and Cloud servers), users should avoid using spaces when naming files AND file folders for both import and export. Note that this applies across all Ascendance applications.
Speed: The speed of your print job, import, or export depends on the connection speed between your Ascendance applications and your network printer(s) and drives, as well as the size of the resulting output. If you notice significant slowness, you may want to consider splitting print jobs into batches when possible.
