close printing

Type

command

Summary

Sends the current print job to the printer.

Syntax

close printing

Description

Use the close printing command to print cards that you've selected with the print card command.

If you use print after the open printing command, the cards you print are saved up to be printed as a single batch. The close printing command prints out this batch of cards, enabling you to print multiple cards on a page.

If no print card commands have been executed since the open printing command, the close printing command prints a blank page. If you used the form of the open printing command, and the user canceled the dialog, you don't need to issue a close printing command.

Examples

close printing

if tPrinting is "complete" then close printing

open printing
repeat with x = 1 to the number of cards
   print card
end repeat
close printing
