tfprintx
Description
Similar to tfprint in that the tfprintx command prints selected frame(s) on a page (instead of printing the entire page). tfprintx is used for unattended print, however, and as such is only applicable for server versions of PTC ALD . You can specify the print device to which you wish to print, using the printer macro.
Syntax
tfprintx size:f? xy_ratio:f? pctrl_name:s? print_file:s?
tfprintx
[no parameter]
Invoke the Print Frame(s) to ... dialog box (the name of the dialog will be completed with the name of the currently selected printer driver)
size
The percentage size at which to print the frame: a % symbol is not necessary.
xy_ratio
Scale the height of the page differently to compensate for plastic plate stretching when placed on a roller. The default value is 1.0, which does not make any adjustment.
pctrl_name
The name of the printer control stream to be used
print_file
The name of a file or printer port (e.g. lpt1, com1) to which to print. You can also type the name of the port into the Print Destination field when using the Print Frame(s) dialog box, this is useful if you want to try printing to a port with/without renaming it in your startdos.3ad file as discussed under device.
