Hi Francisco,

If you don't have a postscript printer, you could instead embed the control codes for whatever printer you're using in the PRINT
field. The code that would be required depends on the control code language (eg HPCL).

I don't think I have a postscript printer, is there any other way to
do it? *I did do a google search and came across a "virtual postscript
printer" - would this be an option? *I'll look into it a little more,
but in any case thanks for your help!

Thanks
Francisco

Hi Francisco,

If you're is outputting the print job to a postscript printer, you could use a PRINT field, with an embedded MERGEFIELD linked to
a
data field containing the # copies. The PRINT field could be coded as:
{PRINT \p page "/#copies {MERGEFIELD CopyCount} def"}
where 'CopyCount' is the name of the data field holding the # copies to be printed. This field could be inserted anywhere on the
body of the page to be duplicated. A 'CopyCount ' value of 0 prevents the page from printing.

Although each record will only appear once in the merged output, you'll get the required number of copies in the print job. This
approach also has no effect on page numbering or TOCs, as the duplicate pages don't exist in the merged document.

Note: The field brace pairs (ie '{ }') for the above example are created via Ctrl-F9 - you can't simply type them or copy & paste
them from this message.

Hi, I'm new to mail merges. I have searched the group for an answer,
and have found some similar questions, but I haven't been able to
figure this out.

I have a letter that goes out to clients that I have been able to use
a mail merge for. The problem is that some clients need up to 5
additional copies of the letter to be sent out. It is different for
each client in the data set. I would like to print out all the
letters at once, with the correct number of copies printing for each
client.

Please help!
Thanks

Looks like I'm out of luck for my printer - from what I googled, the
Canon IP3000 PCL is not available...
