ALT+P = Printer: ON or OFF (Default)
This controls whether or not new material appearing in the Viewing section (top)
of the TERMINAL Screen will also be sent to your printer. Pressing the ALT+P
key combination from either the MAIN Menu or the Terminal Screen switches
PRINT from OFF to ON and from ON to OFF.
+ Hint: If you request printing and your printer is not turned on, is out of paper, or
is otherwise unavailable, Pacterm will let you know, so you can correct the prob-
lem and try again.
The word PRINT appears on the Status Line when the Print request is ON.
Pacterm assumes that your printer is (1) a generic dot matrix text printer, such as
an Epson MX, which operates on a line by line basis, responding to carriage re-
turns and line feeds, and (2) connected to your computer’s LPT1 port.
+ Hint: If your printer (e.g., some laser printers) cannot be configured to operate as
Pacterm requires, you may get print-outs by copying material to the Holding
Buffer, saving it as a file, then using any text editor or word processor to bring in
the (ASCII) file and print it.
Caution: Using ALT+P to turn PRINT OFF while printing may cause errors.
ALT+B = Holding Buffer: OPEN or CLOSE (Default)
This command OPENS and CLOSES Pacterm’s Holding Buffer, which can be
used to store and later save up to 45K of data sent from the TNC to Pacterm.
To OPEN the Holding Buffer, press the ALT+B key combination; to CLOSE it,
press the ALT+B key combination again. You may OPEN and CLOSE the buffer
as you wish, until it is full, to “grab” the parts of a session that you may want to
save to a file.
When the Holding Buffer is OPEN, data sent to Pacterm and appearing in the
Viewing area of the Terminal Screen will be added to whatever has already been
stored in the Holding Buffer. While the Holding Buffer is CLOSED no new data
can be added, but what is already stored there stays until you clear it, save it, or
exit Pacterm.
