Printing script format

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

- not rotated
