Printing functions
PowerScript provides predefined functions that you can use
to generate simple and complex lists and reports. Using only three
functions, you can create a tabular report in your printer’s
default font. Using additional functions, you can create a report
with multiple text fonts, character sizes, and styles, as well as
lines and pictures.
Table 37-1 lists
the functions for printing.
