This section provides instructions on how to set up your PC to work
with Print Master with respect to the BayTech software (if you intend
to use it) and special considerations when connecting your PC in
serial.
If you intend to use the RAMEXEC or RAMTSR hot key programs to
select between multiple peripherals, you would typically add the
command C:>RAMEXEC or C:>RAMTSR to your PC's
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The subdirectory created by running the
INSTALL program should be included in the PATH command. If
using the WNDEXEC program for Microsoft Windows, you should
follow the step by step instructions in the README file created by
running the INSTALL program. Please see
Section 4.2
for INSTALL
instructions.
NOTE: All users that wish to use the hot key software should have a
copy of the program on their PC's hard drive. You may copy
RAMEXEC (or RAMTSR) from a PC that has already configured this
program using SETUP (or SETUPCFG) onto other PCs.
If connecting your PC to Print Master in serial, you would typically
reroute the parallel output to the serial port via the DOS command
C:>MODE LPTx:=COMy:, where x=1, 2, or 3 and y=1 or 2. This
command should be included in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. If you
have a local parallel printer connected to your PC, you would not
include this command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Instead, you
would have your applications software direct output to LPTx to print to
the local printer or COMy to send print jobs to Print Master.
NOTE: If you have a local parallel printer connected to your PC and
you wish to use RAMEXEC (or RAMTSR), set up the local printer to
use LPT1 and RAMEXEC (or RAMTSR) to use LPT2. Then, you
would add the command MODE LPT2:=COMy: to your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file (where y = 1 or 2).
