printed out

Made physically readable

Printed out describes something that has been produced as a physical copy from a computer or digital source: I have the report printed out and ready for the meeting.

The phrase emphasizes completion—the document now exists on paper.

To print out is to generate such a copy: Can you print out the directions?

The "out" adds a sense of the information emerging from the machine into tangible form.
