# Automatic Report Printing

The Secure Payment application's payment module performs a settlement of all the business day's transactions automatically at the end of your business day, also known as closing the batch of transactions. This consollidates all your sales and reimbursement transactions and begins the funding process, which enables you to receive your funds in your merchant bank account with as little delay as possible.

After the settlement completes, you have the choice of whether to have the terminal print a report that provides visibility on your day's transactions. The following topics explain how to configure the automatic printing of reports:

* [Enable Automatic Report Printing](#enable-automatic-report-printing)
* [Select Automatic Report Printing Time](#select-automatic-report-printing-time)
* [Select Report to Print Automatically](#select-report-to-print-automatically)
* [Disable Automatic Report Printing](#disable-automatic-report-printing)

### Enable Automatic Report Printing

When the terminal settles the day's batch of transactions, you can choose to have the terminal print a detailed or summary transaction report. You can also choose to not have the terminal print any reports, but this may make it more difficult to compare your sales with the deposits in your merchant bank account.

By default, the automatic printing of a summary transaction report is enabled on the terminal.

#### **To enable the automatic printing of reports after closing the batch of transactions:**

1. From the main screen, touch **Settings**.
