## Inserting a Print Command

PC-DMIS allows you to insert a PRINT/REPORT command into the Edit window that when marked and executed will cause the measurement results to that point to be sent to the defined output destination (printer or file). After PC-DMIS executes the command, it clears the contents of the Report window and only the remaining measurement results will appear in the Report window. However, you can always click the View Report Mode icon on the Reporting toolbar to view the full report.

To insert a PRINT/REPORT command in to the Edit window:

1. Open the Edit window (View | Edit Window).

2. Click the Command Mode icon from the Edit window toolbar, placing PC-DMIS into Command Mode.

3. Select the Insert | Report Command | Print Command menu option (or type PRINT at the desired location and press TAB). PC-DMIS displays the PRINT/REPORT command as well as the various options you can configure.

The PRINT/REPORT command is used to control the printing of reports from within the part program. When PC-DMIS reaches this command during part program execution, a report is generated and sent to the specified output destination.

Note: All options available via the File | Printing | Report Setup menu option (with the exception of the DMIS output options) are also available through this command.

For information on printing the Edit window in general, see the "Printing from the Edit window" topic in the "Using Basic File Options" chapter.
