The document outlines the process for a client requesting a report from a report server. It involves the client checking the report server IP address, sending a checksum request, and checking locally for a cached report. If the cached report is not up to date, the client requests an updated version from the report server. The report server compiles the report data from its directory and database and sends it to the client. The client can then view and print the report, with printing handled by a separate print server.
