Print Delivery

While using the LexisNexis research services, you have four options for printing your search results:

Printing to a Dedicated LexisNexis Printer

If you have a dedicated LexisNexis printer connected to your computer, you can use the Print button ( ) from any search results page, as described above, to print documents to that printer. You can also specify any of several print options, including dual-column printing; font choices, use of bold, italics and underlining; page breaks; and more.

Printing to an Attached Printer with the New Utility

You can print to an attached printer after installing the new, streamlined print and download utility. Click the Print button from any search results page, as described above. From the Print Documents form that appears, click the Install utility link and follow the instructions that appear. After installation, select a "Format for Attached Printer" option from the Printer drop-down list on the form. Click Print, and your document will print to your attached printer without having to open a word processor. You must have Javascript enabled on your browser to use the print utility. Check with your System Administrator if you encounter any difficulties. To read the two-part installation instructions, click instructions for installing the utility.

Printing to an Attached Printer Using Your Word Processor

If you choose not to install the print and download utility, you can still print to an attached printer using your word processor or document reader. Click the Print button from any search results page, as described above. From the Print Documents form that appears, select the word processor or .pdf format from the Printer or Document Type drop-down list. When the application launches, click File...Print in the word processor, then follow the directions on your screen for your attached printer. You can also specify any of several print options, including dual-column formatting; font choices, use of bold, italics, and underlining; page breaks; and more.

Printing to an Attached Printer Using Your Internet Browser

With or without the utility, you can use your browser's print function to print your documents. On the search results page, click your browser's File...Print menu, then follow the directions on your screen to print the file on your attached printer.

FAST Print Delivery

The FAST Print feature provides you with an easy-to-use shortcut for printing documents. FAST Print leverages the LexisNexis delivery system settings (i.e., dual column print when available, etc.) for a consistent printing experience.

Click Cancel to return to the previous screen without setting a printer as default. (You can change your default choice at any time by clicking the Preferences button in the top navigation bar.)

To read the two-part installation instructions, click instructions for installing the utility.
  
  
• Any print options including dual-column printing, font choices, use of bold, italics and underlining, or page breaks that you have previously selected on the Print Documents form are defaults for this feature.
