Printing virtual stationery
Media are not printed, unless you want them to. Printing the virtual stationery is one of the
settings in a Job Creation Preset. To have the virtual stationery printed as part of the Print
output:
1. Create a job creation preset that indicates that Media has to be printed: select File >
Presets and see "Job Creation Presets" on page 378 for more details.
2. Select that job creation preset in the Print Wizard; see "Generating Print output" on page
138.
Write your own scripts
Personalization can be taken a lot further than just inserting names and addresses, and hiding
or showing text or images. Every bit of information in your communications can be made
entirely personal, using scripts.
Most scripts can be made using one of the script Wizards. For a block of variable data, such as
an address, the Text Script Wizard is a perfect fit. Paragraphs can be made conditional with a
Conditional Script Wizard. For dynamic images, you can use the Dynamic Image Script Wizard.
In an Email context, you are provided with a number of script Wizards to set the sender, the
recipients and the subject of the email.
However, when you want to do something that goes beyond what you can do with a Wizard,
like creating a conditional paragraph with a condition that is based on a combination of data
fields, you have to write the script yourself.
This topic explains how scripts work and how you can create and write a script.
How scripts work
A script is a small set of instructions to the program, written in JavaScript.
