# Routing Unit

The printing of routing unit output is controlled by entering "y" or "n" in the _ru_ line in [print.prt](../introduction-1/simulation-settings/print.prt). Routing unit output can be printed at daily, monthly, yearly, and average annual time steps. The names of the routing unit output files are as follows:&#x20;

* ru\_day.txt
* ru\_mon.txt
* ru\_yr.txt
* ru\_aa.txt
