CHAPTER 7: Operation
7.2 Using MPSDOS and MPSWIN with the MPS-VIII
This section shows how to use the MPSDOS and MPSWIN application
programs to print a document. It assumes that you have already installed
MPSDOS or MPSWIN. For instructions on installing these programs, or on
using them to configure ports, refer to the appropriate chapter (
Chapter 5
for DOS,
Chapter 6
for Windows).
7.2.1 O
PERATION WITH
MPSDOS
After installing MPSDOS, you can work with your DOS applications as usual.
However, MPSDOS handles external I/O (printing, file transfer, etc.) for
DOS. It does so in the background, so you can continue working undisturbed
except for certain sounds you might hear:
•
One
beep indicates that the timeout has expired.
•
Two
beeps indicate that the port is busy or not ready.
•
Seven
beeps indicate that the MPS-VIII did not receive any command
validation.
The software package includes the CHKERR program. If you have difficulty
printing, this program might indicate the nature of the problem. (See
Section 8.5
for more information on this program).
7.2.2 O
PERATION WITH
MPSWIN
After you have installed MPSWIN, you can work with your Windows
applications as usual. However, MPSWIN handles external I/O (printing, file
transfer, etc.) for Windows. It does so in the background, so you can continue
working undisturbed.
When you launch Windows you will see a new program group (shown on
the next page) called “MPSWIN Applications.” It contains:
•
UCTP
The User’s Command Transmission Program (UCTP) enables you to
send direct commands to the Multiport Spooler VIII. It is discussed later
in this chapter.
•
Config
Config enables you to change MPSWIN parameters for Windows. It is
explained in
Chapter 6
.
