How to print or pdf best form of OSCAR report

Post by Physician » Wed Apr 22, 2026 2:47 pm

OSCAR is excellent, and my sleep doc wants a "report" for compliance. When I try to print the first/statisctics page, it is not correct. Which pages to print and make an appropriate acceptable report?

Not sure exactly what you're doing, because you didn't say. It works fine for me in OSCAR v1.7.1 with no special configuration steps required.

I just printed reports to my Windows 11 PC's Microsoft Print To PDF virtual printer with no issues. I did it for Statistics, Overview, and Daily views using the Print Report (Ctrl + P) option in the OSCAR File menu. They all look great.

You should be able to use File/Print while the Statistics page is active and get a report.

Forces two pages. No preview in print dialogue box.

It splits onto two pages both pdf and print. Device settings and changes to device go onto the second page.

I could take a screenshot of the stat page and that would look better. Also, OSCAR doesn't allow the print preview on the print screen. All other apps allow the preview. Is this a "bug" ?

Also, the print dialogue box lacks options, such as image %

Yes, it splits the page deliberately. The first page is all the statistics stuff and the remaining is history. It is split that way because usually only the first page is appropriate for a doctor visit. If you want only the first page in the PDF, your PDF printer option may allow you to specify which pages to print. Just select the first page.

Barren print dialogue box using OSCAR.

Top screenshot = OSCAR
Bottom screenshot =. Safari browser

If I could make the OSCAR stat page print at 130% it would look much better and fill the first page.

Just made a perfect one page print (Mac)

Used comamd - shift - 4. to make a screenshot of the stat page and the two device entries, then opened the screenshot in Preview, and printed that one page. Perfect!! The data was more readable, fit one one page, and filled the page. If it didn't, the percent was available and could be adjusted.
