How to Print Reports
Applies To: System Center Data Protection Manager 2007
DPM reports have been designed to print on A4 paper without horizontally splitting the information across pages. The MHTML and PDF formats are not editable, so you cannot modify the report to fit other paper sizes.
For best print results, use the following procedures for printing reports.

On the Internet Explorer File menu, click Page Setup.
Set paper size to A4.
In the Orientation area, select a Portrait orientation.
In the Margins area, set the margins to values no greater than the following (in inches): Left: 0.11, Right: 0.11, Top: 0.11, Bottom: 0.11.
Print the report.
