Setting up Wordpad as an Output
Destination in MFG/PRO
To configure Wordpad as an output
destination, define a printer
in 36.13.2 as seen below.
Important things to note are:
- The first piece of input that
really matters is the device
pathname. MFG/PRO will create
this file in the user’s
starting directory.
- If you are using Citrix or
Terminal Server, each client
must have their own starting
directory. Otherwise, users
can corrupt and update each
others’ files.
- The reset command includes
the path to call Wordpad, followed
by the file name you entered
as the device pathname in step
1. Note that you have a space
limitation: if the path is
too long, you can’t fit
it and the file in the field.
You can get around this by
making sure that Wordpad is
in your path.
- No further setup for the barcode
controls is required.
- After you exit Wordpad, your
file is still available in
your current working directory.
This means you can go back
and look at it again if needed.
