PA Command - Print Automatic

Description Use this command in a stored form sequence to automatically print the form (as soon as all vari- able data has been supplied).

Syntax PAp1, [p2]

Parameters p1 = Number of label sets. Can be variable data.

Range: 1 to 9999

p2 = Number of copies of the same label. Can be variable data.

Range: 1 to 9999

Sets the number of copies of each label (used in combination with counters) to print multiple copies of the same label. This value is only set when using coun- ters.


Example: FK"1"↵	: delete form named “1"
FS"1"↵	: start form store sequence
V00,10,N,"prompt:"↵	: define variable 00
V01,1,N,"prompt:"↵	: define variable 01
V02,4,N,"prompt:"↵ : define variable 02
A24,24,0,4,1,1,N,V00↵		: write a line of text including variable
PAV01,V02↵	: print 1 label automatically
FE↵	: end form store sequence
FR"1"↵	: retrieve form “1"
?↵	: get variables
This Is Text	: data for V00
3	: data for V01= p1- number of sets
2	: data for V02= p2 - number of copies
