The **Project Printing** system allows you to print a complete project full of reports in one simple process. You can review all the reports in your project and then select which reports to print. To open the Project Printing system, click the button indicated in the screen capture below: ![](https://3283832020-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FiBJmBoewuy4ZcBC7RF3m%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-3084a9b3efdccfd34fc8b86f167d973875af29d6%2FProject%20Manager%20-%20Project%20Print.png?alt=media) The screen will change to display the Project Printing Manager window. On the left will be listed all of the calculations and external items in the Project File. The items in the GENERAL Division and Loads & Forces Divisions are placed at the top, and the items in the other Divisions are placed on the bottom. When you highlight an item the full report appears on the right side of the screen. See the numbered keynotes on the image below as we describe how to use the various controls on the screen. The information is given in order of typical usage. ![](https://3283832020-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FiBJmBoewuy4ZcBC7RF3m%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-22f40e0730272bdce6396db8c68697faba4b561e%2Fclip0195_was_BMP.jpg?alt=media) **(1)** **List of project items for which reports are available** : This area is similar to the item list in the Project Manager.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://enercalc.com/docs/sel-user-manual/project-manager/project-printing.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
