ILEMAKER PRO SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 200
Print
Purpose
Prints information that is in a file.
Format
Print [Restore: “<printer>”; With dialog: On/Off]
Options
• With dialog specifies whether to display the Print dialog box when the script step is
performed.
• Specify print options allows you to specify an output destination. When the script
executes, the output from this script step is sent to the printer or fax you specified.
OS X: As an alternative to specifying a printer or fax, you can click PDF in the Print dialog box,
then choose a PDF option from the list or choose Edit menu to define a custom PDF output
format or destination.
If you do not specify an output destination before saving the script or if the specified printer
cannot be found when the script executes, the output from the script step is sent to the user’s
default printer.
Compatibility
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
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.
