Across the top of this screen is a toolbar where you can choose the final formatting options for your report.
From left to right these buttons are called:
Search, Print , Page Setup , Scale , Move , Magnifier , Zoom , First, Prev, Next or Last , Pages , Watermark , Export , Email , and Info

that screen by clicking the Printer Name
