PRINTER-DEINIT

You should no longer use this command because it may be discontinued in a future release. To use the newer SQR functionality, use the RESET-STRING parameter of the DECLARE-PRINTER command.

Syntax

Use this syntax:

PRINTER-DEINIT  initialization_string

Description

Sends control or other characters to the printer at the end of a report.

Specify nondisplay characters by placing their decimal values inside angle brackets. For example, <27> is the ESC or escape character.

The PRINTER-DEINIT command is used only in the SETUP section and is designed for use with line printers. It has limited functionality with HP LaserJet and PostScript printers.

Example

For example:

begin-setup
  printer-deinit<27>[7J ! Reset the printer
end-setup
