Printing cim program

[jchellap]

Hi all,

I have created so many loading CIM programs . but this time I was asked to create a CIM program to print the invoice from the customized menu.

The output to should be a "printer" name. I tired but the printouts are not coming out by the CIM program.

Any idea / suggestions by experts please?

maybe,you can use batchID mode to print the result

Each customised menu should have a default printer in relation to a userid in 36.13.4.
Otherwise store a default printer in 36.13.2 and retrieve it in your CIM program.

How is your CIM program called by?
When it has it's own menui tem, connect a default printer to this menu item ( if necessary per userid otherwise leave userid empty! )

With my customers we use StreamServe from Opentext. It creates output to : printer, fax, mail and archive.
I have made a script to print the output from MFG to PDF.

How and what to you want to archive?

we are not using any intermidiate tool...we were just looking for output of invoice from 7.13.3 invoice print to be 5 times. say 5 copy of invoice.

Ok lesson PCL II:

Create a new printer in 36.13.2.
Each printername should reflect number of copies.

In the printer control strings add:
/027&l#X
# is the number of copies

add it for 80 and 132 columns
You could use the init string but the /027E should NOT be used in 80 and 132.

Be aware that the pages will be printed 1,1,1,1 2,2,2,2
Otherwise you should create a simple script with 2 parameters.
Number of copies and the output path!

currently i am using in 80 col ==> /027E/027&l0o/027(8U/027(s0p10h12v0s0b3T/027&l66P
/027&l2E/027&l7.8689C/027&l66F/027&k2G
in 132 ===>
/027E/027&l0o/027(0U/027(s0p16.66h8.5v0s0b0T/027&l
66P/027&l2E/027&l7.8689C/027&l66F/027&k2G

pls confirm should i specify only
/027&l#X
it would be great if you can prvide the script..bco's that would be really a great helpful for me

 

[W.Wulmsen]

Add /027&l5X at the end of each line.

The script will have to wait, sorry.
Which version of MFG/EA and on which platform?
