Parameters

Parm1

Parm2

Printer is the name of the printer. If this parameter is not present, printing is done on the Windows default printer (see Control Panel).

TrayID is a tray identifier. The possible values are listed below.

Tray is the name of the bin. You must specify a string as it appears in the the properties of the printer.

Copies is the number of copies to print.

BackGround: True/False. False by default. To print in the background.

PageType is the type of pages to print, can take one of the following constant values:

wdPrintAllPages: print even and odd pages
wdPrintEvenPagesOnly: print even pages
wdPrintOddPagesOnly. : print odd pages

Pages is the number of pages and/or the range of pages to print, separated by commas (,).
For example, "2, 6-10" means: print page 2 and pages 6 to 10.

FirstPageTray is the identifier or name of the bin for the first page. The possible values for the identifier are listed below.

OtherPagesTray is the identifier or the name of the bin for the following pages. The possible values for the identifier are listed below.

OutFile: Full path to an output file that will receive the print stream.

Execute: If "Execute" is false, then the properties of the document are changed (Copies, Pages, Trays, ...) but the document is not printed.

Notes

All parameters are optional.

Possible values for Tray ID :

wdPrinterAutomaticSheetFeed ; wdPrinterDefaultBin ; wdPrinterEnvelopeFeedwd ; PrinterFormSource ; wdPrinterLargeCapacityBin ; wdPrinterLargeFormatBin ; wdPrinterLowerBin ; wdPrinterManualEnvelopeFeed ; wdPrinterManualFeed ; wdPrinterMiddleBin ; wdPrinterOnlyBin ; wdPrinterPaperCassette ; wdPrinterSmallFormalBin ; wdPrinterTractorFeed ; wdPrinterUpperBin

Be careful, these constants do not seem to be allowed with some printers. It is therefore better to use the name of the bin.

CHGVAR	VAR(&PARM2) VALUE(' ')
