Description

This command allows the user to specify a printer to receive reports. You can choose the required printer from a list of all installed printers. After this command has executed, the flag is set if the printer was selected successfully.

The Discard previous settings option causes Omnis to reload the Omnis page setup with the default system settings for the specified printer.

You can use the function sys(101) to return the name of the current printer.
