Print commands are only used if the on-line print process is used for printing MSDS sheets. Use the MSDS Print Command F/M program to maintain the MSDS print commands for individual warehouses. Print commands are assigned to print codes by warehouse. Basically, a print command is a macro that initiates the third-party software and tells it which printer to use.
Use the following fields to set up and maintain MSDS print commands:
1. MSDS Print Code
Enter a valid MSDS print code (up to three characters). Press F2 to perform a search. Press F3 to select the next record.
2. Warehouse
Enter the valid warehouse code for this MSDS print code. Press F2 to perform a search. Press F3 to select the first record for this print code. CR initially defaults to the warehouse assigned to the terminal.
3. Print Command
Enter the actual operating system print command (up to 40 characters) for MSDS on-line printing. For example, wp -m /u/ssi6/wp/print.wpm.
NOTE: This print command is usually in the form of a macro and should only be set up by someone with technical expertise and who is familiar with the third-party software used for printing.
NOTE: If ‘}F{’ is in this string, the MSDS file path and name will be inserted in its place during printing. Otherwise, the MSDS file name will be appended at the end during printing.
