Syntax
-outputRef
printername
Description
(From _printer.setOutputFile) If file::
is used with a WIN-based output configuration, it signifies that Merge is to instruct the Windows printer driver to send its raw output to a file on disk. This works for only some Windows printer drivers but has been known to be of use to capture such things as the raw ZPL destined for a Zebra label printer. When using this option with a WIN output configuration you need to identify that actual Windows printer that the output would normally go to if you weren't choosing to direct it to a file. You do that by using the -outputRef
command line option. It identifies an actual printer, whose Windows driver will be asked to send its output to your nominated file::
location instead. Your mileage may vary.
