Navigation:  vpxPrint tags > <PRINTER>

 

By default, vpxPrint sends the output to the default printer. If you want to switch to another printer, use the <PRINTER> tag.

 

Note: The <PRINTER> tag must be placed before any output in your file.

 

Format :

 

<PRINTER?> calls the PRINTER standard DIALOG BOX.

You should see, depending of your WINDOWS language, a dialog -box like :

 

 

<PrinterSETUP> calls the PRINTER SETUP DIALOG BOX. You should see, depending of your WINDOWS language, a dialog box like:

 

 

 

 

 

<PRINTERPrinterName> If you know the name of your preferred printer (you can take a look to SESSION:PRINTER-NAME and SESSION:PRINTER-PORT), you can direct vpxPrint to output to this printer.

or <PRINTER=PrinterName>

 

Example: <PRINTERHp LaserJet 5L>            

or if ambiguous <PRINTERHp LaserJet 5L on LPT1:>

 

vpxPrint uses the first printer whose name begins by the same string as your specification.

Therefore "Hp Laserjet 5L" matches " Hp LaserJet 5L on LPT1:".

 

Note : Printer name is not case sensitive.

You can tell to vpxPrint : PUT CONTROL      "<PRINTER" SESSION:PRINTER-NAME ">". …for printing on the printer selected via the PROGRESS SYSTEM-DIALOG PRINTER-SETUP command.
