Use
Advanced ->
Document Processing ->
Set Document Actions ->
Document Will Print
and put the js code there.

thank you! Is there anyway to stop the print process if needed? For example, if one field on my form equals to some value, I want to stop the print process. How can I do that?

Thank you!

Only the user can 'cancel' the print on the display window.

if that's case, I may add a print button on my form. But how do I disable the print funtion from File menu? I want user to use my print button so that I can control the process. Thanks!
