Print
Purpose
Prints information in a file.
Format
Print [Restore; No dialog]
Options
• Select Perform without dialog to prevent the Print dialog box from displaying when the
script step executes.
• Select Specify print options or click Specify to specify an output destination. When the
script executes, the output from this script step is sent to the printer or fax you specified.
Mac OS: As an alternative to specifying a printer or fax, you can:
• Click PDF in the Print dialog box, then choose a PDF option from the list or choose Edit
menu to define a custom PDF output format or destination
• Click Preview in the Print dialog box to specify that the output of the script opens in the
user’s default print preview application
If you do not specify an output destination before saving the script or if the specified printer
cannot be found when the script executes, the output from the script step is sent to the user’s
default printer.
Compatibility
This script step is:
• not supported in web publishing
• not supported in a FileMaker Server scheduled script
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
Multiple print steps can be added to a script. You can store print options with this script step, or allow
the user to enter printing criteria when the step executes.
If the print job needs special page setup options to print correctly, add a Print Setup script step
before the Print step.
