Print Settings holds the site-wide printing defaults. Only a System Manager can change it.

Open it from the **Printing** workspace, or on the print page from **⋯ > Print Settings**.

Applies to Frappe v16 and later.

## PDF Settings

![Print Settings: PDF and page settings.](/files/printing-v16-print-settings.png)

| Setting | What it does |
|---------|--------------|
| **Send Print as PDF** | Emails attach the print as a PDF. When off, it is attached as HTML. On by default. |
| **Repeat Header and Footer** | Prints the header and footer, including the letter head, on every page. When off, the header prints once at the top and the footer once at the end. On by default. |
| **PDF Generator** | The engine for formats not made in the editor: **chrome** or **wkhtmltopdf**. Formats made in the editor always use Chromium or Typst. See [PDF generation](/framework/user/en/printing/pdf-generation). |

| **Max Bulk Print Documents** | Most documents in one bulk PDF. Default 100. |
