Parameters

numCopies

Text. Optional. The string must evaluate to a number, or be empty. The number of copies you want to print. Specify an empty string ("") for one copy.

Text. Optional. The string must evaluate to a number, or be empty. The page of a document where you want to start printing. Specify an empty string ("") if you want to print all pages.

Text. Optional. The string must evaluate to a number, or be empty. The page of a document where you want to stop printing. Specify an empty string ("") if you want to print all pages.

Text. Optional. Either the word "draft", to indicate that you want draft quality printing; or an empty string (""), if you want regular quality printing.

Text. Optional. Either the word "printview", to indicate that you want to print the current view; or an empty string (""), if you want to print the selected document(s) in a view, not the view itself. This parameter is ignored if you're printing from an open document.

Text. Optional. The name of the form you want to use to print the document. Specify an empty string ("") if you want to print the document using its current form. This parameter is ignored if you're printing from an open document.

Text. Optional. Either the word "pagebreak", the word "line", or an empty string (""). If you're printing multiple documents from a view, "pagebreak" indicates you want a page break between each document, "line" indicates you want a ruled line between each document, and an empty string indicates you want a blank line between each document. This parameter is ignored if you're printing from an open document.

Text. Optional. Either the word "resetpages", or an empty string (""). If you're printing multiple documents from a view, then "resetpages" specifies that page numbering begins at 1 with each new document; and an empty string ("") specifies that page numbering begins at 1 with the first document and continues cumulatively. This parameter is ignored if you're printing from an open document.

Time-date. Optional. Used with the printview parameter when printing a calendar view; indicates the first date to be printed. Specify an empty string ("") if you want to start printing with the earliest date in the view.

Time-date. Optional. Used with the printview parameter when printing a calendar view; indicates the last date to be printed. Specify an empty string ("") if you want to end printing with the last date in the view.

With no parameters, FilePrint displays the File Print dialog box (on the Macintosh, the chosen printer's dialog box). With parameters, FilePrint prints the current document(s) or view without displaying the dialog box.

In Notes Release 3, FilePrint displays the File Print dialog box whether you use parameters or not.

This @command does not work on the Web. Use the browser's print button to print the current document or view. All hide-when formulas set for elements in the form or view are invoked by the browser.
