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.

The following table lists the functions for printing.
