DocuMatch Application Notes

To print to a file from Word for Windows, you can set it up
as described above, or you can select the Print to File
check box in Word’s Print screen. Note that there is a bug
in Word 6 which prevents it from writing to files with path
names longer than about 14 characters. To be safe, you
should not send print files to directories more than one
level down from a drive’s root directory. For example,
writing to
C:\TEST\OUTPUT.PRN
will work, but
C:\TEST\DOCMATCH\TESTFILES\OUTPUT.PRN
will not.
To send a print file to the DocuMatch:
1. Open a DOS window.
2. Use the COPY command with the /b switch to send the
print file to the DocuMatch as a binary file.
Example: if your file is on the A drive and is called
TEST.PRN, and the DocuMatch is on LPT1, the com-
mand is:
copy /b test.prn lpt1:
