ILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 104
Description
Multiple print steps can be added to a script. You can store print options with this script step, or allow
the user to enter printing criteria when the step executes.
If the print job needs special page setup options to print correctly, add a Print Setup script step
before the Print step.
Notes
• When you use more than one Print script step in a script, the saved printer name
applies to only the containing Print script step.
• A printer name specified in a Print Setup script step is not inherited by any Print script
step in a script.
• Mac OS: If a FileMaker Pro 9 (or earlier) file contains a script with Print Script [restore;
no dialog], the output goes to the default OS printer when you run the script in
FileMaker Pro 10. You can recreate print scripts in FileMaker Pro 10 to change the
printer.
