- Revision History:
- Date: Ver.: Comment:
- 6-16-84 1.0 -Worked on IBM/OKI 192 GRAPHICS compatible printers.
- 7-24-86 1.1 -Now also works on EPSON printers.
- (NOTE: Linefeeds not as nice as Ver. 1.0!)
- 8-26-86 1.2 -Put separate line feed code for each type of printer supported.
- Requires printer type to be specified on program startup.
-
-
- Program Description:
- Memory resident graphics print screen utility. It will print out a Med-Res.
- or Hi-Res. screen image. It will NOT do a screen print if the CGA is
- in TEXT mode!
-
- Printer Requirements:
- -IBM or compatible GRAPHICS printer. (I Use/have and OKIDATA 192)
- -Epson or Epson compatible GRAPHICS printer.
-
- Note: If you have and IBM PROPRINTER or GRAPHICS Printer I would suggest
- you also try out the "E"pson mode. The linefeed spacing might
- turn out better? I don't know because I test all this code on
- my OKIDATA 192 printer.
-
- If you have and EPSON and want to try using IBM mode then:
- Make sure you put your printer in IBM graphics mode emulation
- before running this program. (E.G. Some Epsons need to have the
- dip switches changed to IBM mode before this program works when
- envoked with the "I" or "O" printer type parameter.)
-
-
- How to use program:
- Enter this programs name at the DOS prompt along with the printer
- type. The allowed printer types are "I" for IBM, "O" for OKIDATA
- 192 series printers, and "E" for Epson type printers. Example:
- IF you have an Epson printer then you would enter:
-
- A>TP12 E <plus return key>
-
- After the opening menu displays the program will load the proper
- printer driver and return to the DOS prompt. The program is now Memory
- Resident. Use the following keystroke combinations to Print the Screen
- or Remove the program from memory.
-
- Keyboard Key Usage:
-
- Text Modes
- ----------
- -When the Video Adapter (CGA) is in TEXT mode the following keys function
- as follows.
-
- ALT-F1 -Pops up TEXT window to let you remove this program from memory.
- CTRL-END -Pressing the Control and END key removes this program from memory.
- NOTE: You must first press ALT-F1 then CTRL-END to release the memory that
- this program uses. Make sure you are at the DOS prompt and NO other
- Memory Resident programs have been loaded after this one.
-
- Graphics Modes
- --------------
- -When the CGA is in a GRAPHICS mode (Like when Viewing one of the
- 'Digi-Pics') the keys below do the following:
-
- Alt-F1 -Pops up Graphic Window to let you print the screen image.
- -[F1] will print the screen how it looks.
- -[F3] will print the screen inversely. (Whats white will be
- printed black and what's black will be printed white.)
-
-
- Purpose of Program and how to use with 'DIGI PICs' :
-
- I developed this program to print the fantastic Digital Pictures that
- Dion Kraft has digitized. I have tested it out on numerous 'DIGI PICs'
- and it produces a nice mini poster. To print out all three screen
- images continously load this program first. Then run the 'DIGI PIC'
- program as usual. Reset your printer by turning it off and on. Make sure
- you have at least two continuous pages on your printer. Hit Alt-F1 for the
- screen print menu. Then hit the [F1] key. After the first page is printed
- hit a key to get the next screen frame. Make sure not to touch anything on
- the printer at this time or the next screen image won't be below the previous
- one!. Continue the process until you have printed all the screen frames from
- the 'DIGI PIC' program. You know have a Beautiful Mini Poster of a
- Digitized Picture.
-
- Enjoy!
