PRINT
FROM: Benutzer
TO: DATAFORM
SUBJECT: PRINT
DFTEXT: 2 4 1
The command prints the current (usualy top level) QuarkXPress document.
The command supports the definition of the page range and the number of copies.
All other preferences are taken as set in the printing preferences of the document.
DFTEXT: 2 4 1 means:
fromPage toPage Copies, separated by spaces.
If toPage is higher than the number of pages in the document, all pages until the end of the
document are printed.
DFTEXT: 1 9999 1
Prints all pages of a document.
If no error occurs DATAformXTension responds with:
FROM: DATAFORM
TO: Benutzer
SUBJECT: PRINT
DFTEXT: 2 4 1
DOCUMENT:
RESULT: 0, error number: 0
PRINT message in the DATAform 4D inteface
The PRINTcommand is transferred to DX_Message as follows:
$err:=DX_Message ($Cmd;$Pages;$XPDoc;$XPFolder;$Timeout;=>T1)
$Cmd
"PRINT"
$Pages
"2 4 1" `fromPage toPage Copies
$XPDoc
Is always ""; no QuarkXPress document file is called here.
$XPFolder
The valid path to the QuarkXPress folder
$Timeout
Timeout e.g. after 3 seconds of waiting time
T1
Timeout text and variable for the response error text.
Example: Print alle pages of the document:
$err:=DX_Message ("PRINT";"1 9999 1";"";$XPFolder;3;=>T1)
DX_Message creates a message file in the folder DATAform/Eingang, waits for the response
of DATAformXTension and processes it.
If the document was sent to the printer or spooler succesfully, $err will become Zero.
