Let's now go into the available options for the Graphical View Type vs. the Text View Type.
Graphical View
...
These options are visible below the preview.
Fit Whole Calendar To Page / Fit to X page(s) per day: This toggle will control whether the printed copy will attempt to fit the whole selection onto a single page, or whether the schedule will be stretched vertically so each day will take up X pages.
It is important to note that if you have large Appointment Display blocks or you have display issues when printing, you may need to choose this setting and pick a larger value than 1 page(s) per day to allow for enough space to print your schedule clearly.
This will not affect the horizontal size of each day on the printed schedule.Dates per page - This setting will only take effect if you have "Fit to X page(s) per day" selected. This setting determines how many days are displayed vertically on the schedule printout, per page.
Fix to X page(s) per day - This will stretch the schedule vertically so each day will take up X pages.
Black & White - Check this box to print the schedule in black and white, as opposed to the colors set in the Appointment Display node.
Close window after printing - When checked, the schedule print window will close after you click Print.

Text View
...
If you choose the Text view type, a number of checkboxes will appear, that you can use to include additional information on the printed schedule. These checkboxes correspond to the same boxes in the Appointments reports.
...
Table Header: Lists the column names at the top of each column. In the example above, you can see the Time and Name header.
Separators: Check this option to add table lines around each row and column.
Row Background: Check this box to shade the background of all rows.
Alt Row Background: If Row Background is checked, this option will make every other row shaded. This makes it easier to follow a line across the page.
Print by: This will group the appointments by the selected criteria. For example, you may choose to group all appointments with a given resource together.
Sort By: The Sort By menu contains many options you can use to sort the appointments on the printed schedule.
Export to Calendar Button: This button ill allow you to export your schedule as an .ics file to be used in the macOS native Calendar app and other Calendar apps.
After setting all your print options, click Print to print the schedule. The normal Mac OS X print window will open, where you can select your printer, tray options, and so on.

You will be prompted to name and save the file.
...
After clicking Save, iCal may automatically open the file to start the import process. If it does not, simply double-click the file to open.
Once you click the Save button, your iCal will open instantly, bringing up a new window, asking which calendar you would like to add the events to. MacPractice recommends setting up a unique calendar for each MacPractice Appointment Export, so that you can easily delete duplicate information.
Click OK after making your selection. The appointments will now show in your iCal.
MacPractice Support cannot assist with importing the file into iCal, beyond what is outlined in this guide. If the information does not import correctly, please contact Apple Support.
