There are two options for tweaking the
print to file
functionality:
Don’t print to IR
(affects both 'Text Print' and 'Graphics Print')
Disables printing to IR and printing delays.
Graphics in Text
(affects 'Text Print' only)
If enabled graphics prints appear as block graphics in text file using Unicode "Block Elements".
Note that you need reasonably equipped font to display the graphics print correctly (which isn’t
the default case for Windows users).
Program Decoder/Encoder
Thanks to generous contribution of Godwin (known as grsbanks in
forum
) we can use web based
program decoder and encoder for Free42 raw files - i.e. those files used for program import/export
in DM42.
Thus you can prepare your DM42 program directly on PC and then download it to DM42 and
import it there. As well as export programs written directly on DM42 and edit them on PC.
The program decoder/encoder is located at
https://www.swissmicros.com/dm42/decoder/
. Follow
this link and look into
instructions
tab for more details.
