Printing
Estimated reading time: 2 minutes
Local and network printing is accomplished in Encore RPG by writing to a print file contained in the Acceler8DB database. Because a user may select from a number of printer devices with different capabilities, some properties require special considerations.
Note – Not all of the possible settings for the following properties may be valid as each printer device can have a limited set of capabilities. It is up to the programmer to select the setting appropriate to the actual printer device used.
See the individual properties for more information on each of these property.
