# Reprint Material Documents

:lock: PrintableDocument.**Reprint**

## Overview

This operation allows you to reprint printable documents configured for the **Material**.

2. Define the necessary context in the smart table [MaterialPrintableDocumentContext](../../administration/tables/smart-tables/materialprintabledocumentcontext.md). To define a default document to generate a Lot Traveler or Label, it is necessary to edit the smart table [AreaPrintableDocumentContext](../../administration/tables/smart-tables/areaprintabledocumentcontext.md).

* **Material** has a **Printable Document** associated to it.
* **Material** has a print history of **Printable Documents**.

        If multiple documents to reprint have been selected, a New Printer can only be set if the Printer Type of all the selected documents is the same.

2. Specify the number of copies (defaults to 1) to reprint.

    !!! note
        Only documents for which the Printing Integration is `null` can have a user defined number of copies. All documents for which a Printing Integration is set, must use the original number of copies.
