<PRINTER>

 

By default, vpxPrint sends the output to the default printer. <PRINTER> tag switches to another printer.

 

about_24_h Note:

The <PRINTER> tag must be placed before any output or font settings (<F>, <P>, <B> (...), <FGCOLOR> etc...) in your file.

Otherwise this can result to a bad output and/or a bad selected printer.

Place it at more likely at the beginning of the xpr file.

 

Syntax:

 <PRINTER?> calls the PRINTER standard Windows DIALOG BOX.

 

 

 <PrinterSETUP> calls the PRINTER SETUP DIALOG BOX.

 

 

 <PRINTERPrinterName [,RENDER] > or or <PRINTER=PrinterName [,RENDER]>

 

Parameters:

oPrinterName: Name of the printer (PROGRESS users: SESSION:PRINTER-NAME or SESSION:PRINTER-PORT)

oOptional RENDER option (10.34): indicates that the report must be rendered with the specified printer but reset to default printer after the rendering process for printing.

 

Example:

<PRINTER=Hp LaserJet 5L>     ( "Hp Laserjet 5L" matches " Hp LaserJet 5L on LPT1:".

If ambiguous:
         <PRINTER=Hp LaserJet 5L on LPT1:>  

 

 

about_24_h Notes:

vpxPrint searches for:

1.the first printer with the exact name,

2.a printer with a name beginning by the value specified,

3.a printer where the name contains the value specified.

Printer name is not case sensitive.  

PROGRESS users can send the report to a printer selected from within a PROGRESS session:
