This doesn't work:
on mouseUp
repeat with i = 1 to 5
put cr & cr & cr & " " & i into field 1
print this card from 142, 30 to 681,556
end repeat
end mouseUp
What I would like to do is print the number i, running from 1 to 5 on
the fourth line down on the card. (The real objective is mail merge in a
letter, but I'm trying to keep it simple here.)
This handler produces 5 separate pages in Preview--on the Mac. To print
the 5 pages I would have to click "Print" on each of the 5 pages in
Preview. (I actually have a couple of hundred letters.)
My objective is to build 5 pages to print in the repeat loop and send
them to the printer while go out for coffee.
How is that done? So far, all I can handle is the coffee part.
Just surround your repeat loop with "open printing" and "close printing"
commands:
open printing -- tell the engine to expect a print job
repeat with i = 1 to 5
put cr & cr & cr & " " & i into field 1
print this card from 142, 30 to 681,556 -- adds to the print job
end repeat
close printing -- sends the whole batch to the printer as one job
This way you only have to click "Print" once, though you'll need to wait
for the repeat loop to finish before you see a print dialog.
