Although web reports can be displayed on computer monitors, many times a more tangible paper-based analysis is required. This tests the print functionality of web reports, as web reporting often relies on printing, which frequently requires batch processing. Therefore, this article aims to analyze the batch report printing functions of various reporting tools in terms of multi-parameter printing, page-by-page printing, and scaling printing.
