The When to Print dialog includes the following options.
When to print
Always: Specifies that the selected object, layer, template, or background is always printed.
Never: Specifies that the selected object, layer, template, or background is never printed.
Conditionally, based on data source: Specifies that the selected object, layer, template, or background is printed only when the selected data source meets the specified condition. Use this option in situations where there is only one condition that determines the print status. To set up a conditional statement, use the following options:
Data Source: Provides a list of all named data sources and database fields that are available in the document. Named data sources are indicated by the icon, and database fields are indicated by the icon.
Operator: Provides a list of the available conditional operators. A conditional operator determines the relationship between the data source and the value in a conditional statement. For more information about conditional operators, refer to Conditional Operators Reference.
Value: Specifies the conditional value. Some operators, such as Is Empty and Is True, do not require a value to be specified. In these situations, the Value field is hidden.
Conditionally, based on expression: Specifies a complex conditional expression to determine when a selected object, layer, template, or background is printed. This option is ideal for situations that require more than one condition. You can create conditional expressions in either Tree View or Text View. For more information about how to create a conditional expression, refer to Building Conditional Expressions.
Manage Named Data Sources: Opens the Named Data Sources dialog, where you can create, modify, or remove named data sources from your document.
