Change Printer Plug In

[Spirodoc]

Can you advise me how to use this Plug In to allow transition between two printers, 1 for paper and 1 for labels, in my application? The examples given with the plug in use Calculations but I am used to printing from the Script menu. Also, I don't use a global field in my application. Guess I just am not getting how you apply the calculation step to the script step for Print.

Basically changing a printer using the Change Printer Plug-in is 2 script steps.

In a script, create the following 2 steps:

1. Specify a set field command. This is where you will call the change printer plug-in using the Set Field[PCCP_ChangePrinter( "Printer ABC" ; """ )] and simply specify the printer you want to print to. In this case the printer name is "Printer ABC".

2. Call “Print” script step

These two script steps with tell FileMaker to print to the specified printer. For more detailed information or for an overview of how to use the plug-in please feel free to send us an e-mail to [email protected] or call us at: 760-510-1200.
