If you select this check box, all print files distributed to this user on the printer listed in the Printer field are printed.
If you do not select this, the print file assigned to this user is not printed when you send a print file or report to the distribution group. Instead, the report is made available to the user through the Print Manager when the job runs.

Save

If you select the Save check box, then the report is available to the user through the Print Manager.

If you do not select this check box, the report is not available to the user through the Print Manager.

You cannot clear this check box if you selected the Auto Print check box.

Regardless of the number of users the job is distributed to, only one physical copy is created on the server hard drive.
