Determines whether dBASE Plus ejects a sheet of paper before and after a PRINTJOB.

Syntax

_peject = <expC>

<expC>

The character expression "before", "after", "both", or "none".

Default

The default for _peject is "before", which tells the printer to eject a sheet of paper before starting the print job.

Description

Use _peject to specify if and when the printer should eject a sheet of paper. Assign a new value to _peject (and to any other system memory variable) before issuing PRINTJOB in a program to make the new value affect the print job.

The following table describes _peject options.

<expC>

Result

"before"

Eject sheet before printing the first page 

"after"

Eject sheet after printing the last page 

"both"

Eject sheet before and after the print job 

"none"

Note

The _peject system memory variable is distinct from the EJECT command, which tells the printer to advance the paper to the top of the next page.
