A transaction printing setup is a set of attributes that are used for transaction printing. You can create different setups, but only one setup can be loaded and is active. When transaction printing is offline, you open and load a transaction setup via the control panel or the Settings Editor.

The attributes of the active (loaded) transaction setup define the default properties of the output of the submitted data stream.
