[02] Open a designated layout file. [03] Initialize an object. --- Amend Text 1 of Frame2, add it to a printing area. --- [04] Copy an designated frame in the work area in the object. Get index. [05] Get an index of a an designated part in the designated frame. [06] Change the work area in the object. [07] Copy the work area in the object to the printing area. --- Print data in the printing area --- [08] Start printing with the designated printer.
