Help on Mailing Labels

[Mike.Lamers@phs.com]

Hi, Guy ...
Curious as to why you have the SET FORMFEED commented out in your sample
code.
You might also try setting the device to disc to create a file and then send
the file to the printer after the Quiz has completed.  I was taught that
although you can set device to a printer, this ties up the printer while the
quiz is running.  It's better to get all your pages ready before locking on
to the printer.
Mike
