FlexMail enables you to define print pauses that you can use to pause printing during a job. Print pauses are based on a condition that you specify. You can make FlexMail pause at a specific interval or you define pauses that react when a certain condition (based on a datasource) is met. You can e.g. react on a postcode change or when a field contains a certain value or character. You can also specify the length of the pause. You may define any number of conditions by specifying multiple Print pauses.
To specify a print pause:
On the Print tab, in the Printer group, select Options.
In the Print Setup window, select the Print Options page. On this page, click New to create a new print pause definition or edit to change or review an existing one.
The Print Pause dialog opens.
Give the print pause a descriptive name.

On record where 'source' is 'value'. Select this option if you want to pause printing when a record will be printed in which the source is equal to a specified value. Specify the source in the Datasource box and a value in the Value box.
After record where 'source' is 'value'. Select this option if you want to pause printing after the record has been printed in which the source is equal to a specified value. Specify the source in the DataSource box and a value in the Value box.
Every Nth page. Select this option if you want to pause printing each time the specified number of pages has been printed. Specify the number of pages in the Value box.
