When you
print text or graphics, SAS needs to know where the output should
go, how it should be written, and how the output should look. Universal
Printing is the default printing mechanism in UNIX. Universal Printing
supports PostScript, PCL, GIF, PNG, SVG, EMF, and PDF files in all
environments. For more information about Universal Printing, see
Universal Printing in SAS Language Reference: Concepts.
Forms printing is an
older method of text printing available from SAS. It involves using
the FORM subsystem, which consists of the
Form window. For information, see
Forms Printing in SAS Language Reference: Concepts.
If you are printing
graphics, the output is controlled by native
SAS/GRAPH drivers. See
the online Help for
SAS/GRAPH for information about native
SAS/GRAPH drivers.
