I'd like to not have the print dialog appear once for each card
getting printed. When there are a couple hundred cards, it gets
tedious hitting the OK button a couple hundred times.
How do I tell runrev to just print one copy and to not have the
OS ask me for quantity etc?
Do I have to open printing, issue all the print cards, and then
close printing? By printing each card separately I can name them
so that in the job queue I can see where the printing is (which
card is printing next, how many are left to print).
Yes, that's it. To avoid multiple dialogs, don't close printing
until you are done with the whole job. You could put up some kind
of progress dialog in Rev while you are spooling the print job if
you want to see the progress. Or just don't lock the screen, so you
see all the cards flash by.
Since you want to print each card on a separate piece of paper,
you'll want to insert a page break in your print loop ("print
break") after you print each card.
Thanks Jacque!
When I did :
set the printmargins to 18,18,18,18
print card from 10,10 to 413,287
print break
That caused it to print a blank page after every printed page. Also,
the first page printed within the defined margins. All subsequent
pages printed shifted to the right within the same margins. So the
first card was centered correctly, the second and subsequent cards
had extra margin on the left and part of the image was not printed on
the right.
Next I tried to specify the pagerect to be the size of the page of paper
set the printmargins to 18,18,18,18
print card from 10,10 to 413,287 into 0,0,432,306
print break
That caused the part of the image that would go in the margins to not
be printed. So I had to subtract the margins from the pagerect to get
it to work.
What finally worked was to specify the pagerect as being inside the
margins (I suppose printRect would have been a better description for
that parameter instead of pageRect) and to also use the print break.
set the printmargins to 18,18,18,18
print card from 10,10 to 413,287 into 18,18,414,288
print break
That still shows a difference in the left margin for the first card
compared to subsequent cards, but at least it is now useable. I can
live with that.
Thanks, kee
