Printing a Running Order

If you have an NCS license for your Inception Server, you can print the script content of the running order currently open in the Running Order panel.

You require an NCS license for your Inception Server to print running orders from a desktop computer. You cannot print running orders from a mobile device. Please contact Ross Video to purchase an NCS license for your Inception Server.
