PrCloseDoc

Use the PrCloseDoc procedure to close a printing graphics port previously opened with the PrOpenDoc procedure.

PROCEDURE PrCloseDoc (pPrPort: TPPrPort);

pPrPort

A pointer to a printing graphics port. (The TPrPort record that defines a printing graphics port is described on page 9-48.)

DESCRIPTION

The PrCloseDoc procedure closes the current printing graphics port. You typically use PrCloseDoc after sending the last page of a document to the printer with the PrClosePage procedure (described on page 9-67).

When you use PrCloseDoc to close a printing graphics port, printer drivers respond in a manner appropriate for the printers they control. Many drivers, including the LaserWriter driver, start a print job after your application calls PrCloseDoc.

ASSEMBLY-LANGUAGE INFORMATION

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

For deferred printing on an ImageWriter printer, call the PrError function (described on page 9-72) to find out whether spooling succeeded before using PrCloseDoc. If spooling succeeded, call the PrPicFile procedure (described on page 9-68).
