Print Heading

Overview

Print Heading — Business Overview

Print Heading is a setup document used in Dafater to control how your company name or heading appears on printed business documents. It ensures that all official printouts—such as invoices, orders, and internal forms—carry a consistent and professional heading that reflects your organization’s identity.

What Print Heading Is Used For

In day-to-day business operations, Print Heading defines the title or heading that appears at the top of printed documents. Instead of relying on default or system-generated titles, businesses use Print Heading to:

Display the correct company name or brand
Use different headings for different business units or purposes
Maintain a professional and consistent look across all printed documents

This helps reinforce branding, clarity, and credibility when documents are shared with customers, vendors, auditors, or internal teams.

Prerequisites and Setup Requirements

Before using Print Heading effectively, the business should have:

A clear understanding of how documents are printed and shared (physical or PDF)
Defined branding standards, such as official company names or division names
Identified which documents require specific headings (for example, customer-facing vs. internal)

Print Heading is typically set up once and updated only when branding or organizational structure changes.

Typical Workflow and Business Use

Define the Heading
A business user creates a Print Heading with the desired title, such as the legal company name or a department-specific name.
Assign to Documents
The Print Heading is selected when configuring printed formats for business documents.
Use in Daily Operations
Whenever documents are printed or shared as PDFs, the selected Print Heading appears automatically at the top.

This workflow ensures that staff do not need to manually adjust headings each time a document is generated.

Key Business Scenarios Where Print Heading Is Essential

Multi-brand or Multi-division Businesses
Different Print Headings can be used for different business units operating under the same system.
Customer-Facing Documents
Ensures invoices, quotations, and confirmations show the correct and professional heading.
Compliance and Audits
Printed records carry consistent headings, making them easier to review and validate.
Seasonal or Special Operations
Temporary headings can be used for campaigns, projects, or special business initiatives.

Important Considerations for Users

Use clear and officially approved wording to avoid confusion or misrepresentation
Keep the number of Print Headings manageable to prevent selection errors
Review Print Headings periodically to ensure they still reflect current branding
Ensure the correct Print Heading is applied to the right type of document

In summary, Print Heading plays a small but important role in Dafater by ensuring that all printed business documents look professional, consistent, and aligned with the organization’s identity.
