MSDS Print Command F/M (SOF989)

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.
