# Background Printing from Journal

A performance test (Top Picking approach) can be initiated from a journal record by setting **Background print** to **Yes** on the Form link for the report.

In this example, **Background print** has been set to **Yes** for the **SalesInvoiceReplacement**:

This adds another button to the form called **Background print**:

Multiple records can be selected from a journal. Then, when the **Background print** button is clicked, the **Batch print schedule (Top Picking)** dialog will appear with the records preselected (the **Record-IDs** of the selected records will be displayed in the **Records to include** FastTab).

Refer to the [Batch print schedule (Top Picking)](/v1/docs/batch-print-schedule-top-picking) section of this guide for more information.

Once the batch job has started, the results of this Background print can be seen in the **Batch print review** form.
