Receiving and Printing Files from Banner
The way a user receives the output of Banner reports is through the Reports Directory (R drive). This is to ensure that no unauthorized person has access to the generated information, since the files often contain sensitive and personal data of students, faculty members and others. Simply sending the data via email, or saving the files on your local X or S drives is not a secure and encrypted way of sharing files. If you are going to share files from the R drive, please upload these to your Google drive or a Shared Google drive. Google drive is a secure , encrypted way to share files.

Printing with NOPRINT
Printing with NOPRINT
When a job with the printer NOPRINT is run, the output files will automatically be moved to the persons network drive. If the job was run in the PROD instance, the files will be in the _banner folder. In there will be a subfolder named after the report or process run which will contain all files associated to the report. The path will follow this structure: X:\_banner\report_name. For DEVL the folder will be called _bannerDEVL, resulting in the path having the following structure: X:\_bannerDEVL\report_name.
