If each of your projects requires the printing of a certain set of layer configurations, it can be time consuming and prone to errors to configurate the printer new every time. In such situation it is easier to control the printing by the use of a written command (script). How such a script in TARGET 3001! might look like is explained here.
The TARGET 3001! printings can comfortably be controlled by a script language. One script can create several different printings. Every line contains one command. The script commands reflect the settings in the printing dialog. Each line not starting with a key word automatically is recognized as a comment line.
The key words and the command syntax of the TARGET 3001! print scripts are illustrated as follows:
Clear
sets the standard settings:
- not rotated
- not mirrored
- not inverted
- black and white, if schematic
- 1 copy
- blackness 100%
- not only centering drills
- no pictograms
- no background color
- print groundplane lines
- PCB outline counts, if board
- not fit to page
- centered
- scale 100%
- offsetX 0
- offsetY 0
- correction X 1
- correction Y 1
- all pages, if schematic
- no variants
- variant components not invisible
- layers are not subject to change
Printer=Name,Duplex,A4
Select printer by it's name, if applicable Duplex or paper size A5-A2, Legal, Letter, CSheet, DSheet, ESheet
Name=Job
Denominate print job, therefore assign name of the print job
The following keywords will be replaced:
- #P by the project name without extention
- #F by the file name with extention
- #D by the current date yyyy-mm-dd
- #T by the current time hh-mm
- #V by the name of the variant
- #R by the name of the revision
- #Q by the name of the variant-revision
Path=C:\Test\...
Assume path for the output file (works since V16.5.0.55 and only with the PDF printer FreePDF-XP). The same keywords will be replaced like in "Name=".
Execute print job, print sheet(s). If "PDF" can be found in the Printer's name, you are asked after the "Print" command, whether the printer is ready again.
