Step 4: Start printing
Overview
To start the print job, simply use iEndPrinting.
Printing via infrared
WINDEVWEBDEV - Server codeWindows If the computer and the associated printer are equipped with an infrared port, the print job is performed when iEndPrinting is called.
Reminder The printer used has been previously selected using iDestination, iParameter or iConfigure.
Printing via a PCL file
WINDEVWEBDEV - Server codeWindows WINDEV and WEBDEV also let you print using a PCL file (Printer Control Language).
To perform this type of print:
  1. Specify the PCL file to create (iDestination).
    For example:
    iDestination(iPCL, "C:\MesDocuments\MonFichier.PCL")
  2. Copy the PCL file from the PC to the printer that will be used.
    For example:
    • using the fCopyFile function.
    • by entering a command line (in the Windows "Run" dialog box).
      Copy "<PCLFile>" "<PrinterUsed>"
Note From the printer configuration window (function iConfigure or iParameter), the user can also create a PCL file.
