Step 4: Starting the print
Overview
To start the print job, simply use iEndPrinting.
Printing via infrared
WINDEVWindows 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 was previously selected by iDestination, iParameter or iConfigure.
Printing via a PCL file
WINDEVWindows WINDEV and WEBDEV also allow you to print via 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:\MyDocuments\MyFile.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>"
Remark: The user can also create a PCL file from the printer configuration window (iConfigure or iParameter).
