Documents for Printing
An area of PMP that needs to be cleaned out regularly is Documents for Printing. This is a region where files of
different types are stored in PMP. The number of documents contained in Documents for Printing is directly
related to the amount of space required for your monthly backups. After about 3 months documents can be
deleted as they are saved on monthly backups. Keep the number of reports to a minimum for optimum
usage of your computer and PMP.
