Print a Criminal Summons

Once a Criminal Summons has been issued, the Summons can be printed. Before printing, the user can select the copy types needed (Original, Defendant, Court, Draft, and Other), the number of copies, and whether to send the print job directly to the printer (Print Direct), or display an electronic version of the document before printing (Create Document). Below are the steps.

Before you start:

A Criminal Summons must be issued (status = Unserved or Served) to print an Original, Defendant, Court, or Other copy.
A Draft copy can be printed for a Criminal Summons that has a status of Incomplete or Complete.
No print is allowed of a Criminal Summons with a status of No Serve or Denied.
The ability to print a specific copy type is also based on a user's role. Click on a copy type for details: Original, Defendant, Court, Draft, and Other.
A Draft copy is the only print allowed of a Criminal Summons converted from ACIS to NCAWARE with partial data.
A record of an Original copy print of a Criminal Summons will be kept in Process Tracking.
In a situation where multiple processes are being printed due to a Defendant edit after issuance, see Multiple Process Print Due to Defendant Edit.

From any tab of an Unserved or Served Criminal Summons CASE SUMMARY TAB VIEW, click the Print Process button.

Note: If printing a Draft copy, click the Print Process button on either the CASE SUMMARY TAB VIEW (Unserved or Served) or the PROCESS TAB VIEW (Incomplete or Complete) of the Criminal Summons.

The PROCESS PRINT screen displays showing the Criminal Summons to be printed and any related forms. The following fields are available:

Select the checkbox of the Copy Types to be printed (including any related forms), then click either the Print Direct button (to send the print job directly to the printer), or Create Document button (to view an electronic version of the document before printing).

The results are based on which print option (button) was selected:

Print Direct - All selected copy types of the selected forms are sent to the printer. During printing, an electronic version of each selected form is displayed.
Create Document - An electronic version of each selected form displays. Review the electronic documents:
- If the documents are satisfactory as far as printing is concerned (margins, page layout, etc), then click the Print icon . The PRINT window will display. Click the OK button. This will send the print job to the printer, OR;
- From the displayed PRINT screen, adjust the settings as necessary and then click the OK button. The adjusted print job is sent to the printer.

Notes

When either the Print Direct and Create Document buttons are used, the electronic version of the print request will remain on the screen until it is manually closed.
When either is used, both the Print Direct and Create Document buttons will display as inactive until a change is made on the PRINT REQUEST screen, or until the user navigates away from the screen.
