Print addresses - Need a wait statement to allow ink to dry
I'm printing addresses on A6 post cards. My new inkjet printer is too fast
.... there is not enough time for the ink to dry before the next post card comes out and smears the ink. Any ideas as to how to add a wait condition to a mail merge so that there is a couple of seconds of drying time between prints? -- Ed M. |

Print addresses - Need a wait statement to allow ink to dry
Execute the merge to a new document, and then run the macro PrintwithDelay.
It is set to cause a five second delay between the printing of each page of the document. Adjust the TimeValue as required. Option Explicit Dim i As Long Sub PrintwithDelay() For i = 1 To ActiveDocument.Sections.Count Application.OnTime When:=Now + TimeValue("00:00:05"), _ Name:="Normal.Module1.PrintIt" Next i End Sub Sub PrintIt() ActiveDocument.PrintOut Range:=wdPrintFromTo, From:="s" & i, To:="s" & i End Sub -- Hope this helps.
