The Script Detail action dialogue boxes are the same as the Load

box as described in Section 7.4, you click Load to perform the

 

action immediately on the connected printer.

 

In Scripting, when you have completed editing the Script Detail

 

dialogue box, you click OK to add the action to the Script. You

 

continue adding all the actions you want to the script. You save the

 

script to be executed at a later time.

 

 

 

Pause

The Pause action is a Scripting action that is not available as a Load File

 

/ Control option in Section 7.4. Use the Pause as necessary between file

 

loads in your script. For example, if you load a large file into the printer,

 

you might want to delay a few seconds to give the printer time to save

 

the file to memory before proceeding to the next load action in the

 

script.

To insert a pause in your Script, on the Script tool bar click the icon, or on the Script menu bar:

1Click Script

2Click Add

3Select the Pause action
