Define a Print Job Model

You need to define a print job model before you can print data from form components.

Note: Printing data in the Uniface IDE is only possible in the editors available from the More Editors menu.

  1. In the Uniface IDE, choose Print Setup from the Main Menu ( ≡ ).
  2. Clear the Print Job Model field, then click >> to display a list of available models.
  3. Click New to open the Define Print Job Model dialog, or select a model and click Edit to change an existing model.
  4. Specify the name and other details of the print job model.
    • Name—print job model name
    • Device Type—device translation table to use for this print job model
    • Print Queue—destination of the printed output
    • Print Options—additional operating system options
    • Device Mode—predefined page formatting for a specific Device Type
    • Margins—margins of the printed output, expressed in terms of lines and characters
    • Print using colors
    • Print black on white

    At the very least, you need to specify a Name and the device translation table in Device Type.

  5. Clear the Device Type field or enter a profile (for example P_*) and click >> to display the list of available device translation tables. Select a table and click OK.
  6. Click OK to save the print job model.
