<PRINT>

 

Defines the printing mode.

 

Syntax:                

<PRINT=NO>                                        

 -OR-                            

<PRINT=DIRECT>

 -OR-

<PRINT=EXACT>

 

 

<PRINT=NO> does not send the report to the printer.

This tag suppresses any output when processing an vpxPrint file to build PDF or image files.

 

<PRINT=DIRECT>:

vpxPrint stores preview pages in memory.

Although the memory optimization used by vpxPrint, very large reports can result in a memory overflow.

With such reports, the preview is often not useful and the preview preparation is a waste of time.

With <PRINT=DIRECT>, the preview preparation is not done, instructions are sent to the printer driver directly and the first page is printed as soon as the second page is started (depending on your WINDOWS parameters).

Consider also the <BACKGROUND>, <PDF=DIRECT>  and/or <PREVIEW=PDF> tags.

 

NOTE:

tag is not allowed in this mode.

 

<PRINT=EXACT>    (10.31)

By default, vpxPrint uses the printer margins when printing.

When the printer selected for printing is not the one used for rendering the report, the margins may be different and a shift can then occur.

<PRINT=EXACT> allows you to make a strictly identical print.

warning_24 WARNING: If the new printer has larger margins, then some parts may be lost if they are at the edge of the report. To be used with caution.
