Can I create a single MET file which contains multiple pages like the FAP file used to generate it?

The FAP2MET utility supports multiple page FAP files. For example, if TEST.FAP file contains 10 pages, the FAP2MET utility will build 10 pre-compiled MET files. These files are used by the GenPrint program as each page is printed.

When you run the FAP2MET utility on a multipage FAP file, the utility creates a FAP file for each page. In the FAP file, you should add an EjectPage rule for each additional page that makes up the form. The system knows by the eject pages to look for additional FAP files for this form.

The FAP2MET utility can also produce a test print version of a FAP file, otherwise known as a print-ready file. This file is only to be sent to the printer. It is not to be used with GenPrint. This type of file is produced when the /SV option is not used.
