ClosedTo change the maximum number of preview images to generate

By default, BarTender Cloud generates up to 100 preview images when a user clicks Preview on the Print page at print time.

If instead you want the selected document to be printed immediately, follow these steps:

  1. On the Print Settings page, in the When a document is selected list, select Immediately print.

    To return to the default behavior, select Show print options.

  2. Click Save.
