Using Print and Print Setup Functions
Printing a Screen Image to a File on A: or C: Drives
1. Press
Print Setup
,
Print To
. Toggle the
Print To
key to select
File
.
2. Press the File Type key, then select the desired type file format.
3. To print a file to the A: drive, toggle the File Location key to A: to
select the floppy drive. Insert a 3.5” HD floppy disc, formatted for
MS-DOS, into the front panel disk drive.
4. To print a file to the internal flash memory (C: drive), toggle the File
Location key to C: .
5. Select the Image format to be stored on the disk-
Normal
will store
an image with a black background, exactly as the current screen is
displayed, and is excellent for recording screens that will be
reproduced in color. For optimum results with black-on-white
printing, use Invert, which will provide a dark trace on a light
background, and minimize jet ink and toner consumption
6. Press HCOPy Dest to select
Printer
. This will enable selection of a
filename from a group of six during the execution of the
Print
command as described below. If the
HCOPy
selection is set to
FPanel
,
the file created will be titled
screen.xxx
with the file extension
depending upon the type selected. With FPanel selected only one
screen.xxx
file may be saved to memory or a floppy disk, as the file
name is not user selectable. Desired files must be copied from the
memory or floppy disk to prevent being overwritten by subsequent
screen.xxx
files.
7. Press the front panel
PRINT
key. If the HCOPy Dest is set to select
Printer
, six filenames will be displayed as available from which to
select a destination filename: screen1.xxx, screen2.xxx, screen3.xxx,
screen4.xxx, screen5.xxx, and screen6.xxx, with the filename
extension dependent on the
File Type
selected. The destination drive
name will also be displayed. Selection of one of these filenames
initiates the file creation. Files written to the A: drive will be located
at A:\
screen#.xxx
. Files written to the C: drive may be accessed
by the following path:
/users/ftp/pub/screen#.xxx
. All six files
may be stored at the same time to either location. Any subsequent
files stored to the same filename will overwrite the existing file.
8. The disk may be removed from the A: drive once the LED on the disk
drive is off. The file you have saved is now available to be printed
through use of an external computer and printer, or to be imported
into an electronic document. Files located on the C: drive may be
retrieved over the LAN by
ftp
with the use of an external computer.
The following table illustrates the keys used and key choices available
to print a screen image to either the A: internal floppy disk drive or the
internal C: flash memory. Level 1 shows key choices available when the
front panel key is pressed. Level 2 shows key choices available when
Print To
is set to
File
and Level 1 keys are pressed.
