echo 4PRINT and 4BOOK Version 4.10 Printer Test
echo to eliminate paper shuffling for double-sided
echo documents on non-duplex printers
echo.
echo Note that you do not need any paper handling options if you are
echo using a duplex printer such as the IID or IIID. In this case,
echo be sure to specify the -d or -ds option to 4Print or 4Book to
echo take advantage of your printer's duplex capability!
echo.
set temp4=%1
if not .%1 == . goto gotit
echo usage: TESTPRIN device
echo example: TESTPRIN LPT2:
echo.
echo If you do not specify a device, this program will assume
echo that your laser printer is attached to DOS device "PRN:"
echo.
echo Press Ctrl-C now to stop this program, or any other key
echo to continue as if you had typed TESTPRIN PRN:
pause
echo.
set temp4=PRN:
:gotit
echo Take two sheets of blank paper and write "one" on one sheet and "two"
echo on the other. Place them in your printer's tray facing up, with
echo "one" on top and "two" underneath, like this:
echo.
echo _______one___________ top of first sheet
echo --------------------- bottom of first sheet
echo _______two___________ top of second sheet
echo --------------------- bottom of second sheet
echo _____________________ other blank pages in the tray
echo ---------------------
echo.
echo I'll be printing on these two sheets momentarily,
echo so please make sure your printer is online.
pause
echo.
echo FIRSTSECOND>%temp4%
set temp4=
echo Now take the two sheets out of your printer's output tray without
echo disturbing their order. The following diagram will show which 4Print
echo and 4Book options to use so that no paper shuffling will be required:
echo.
echo ____FIRST____one____ ____________________
echo -------------------- ----SECOND---two----
echo ____SECOND___two____ or ____________________ use -r
echo -------------------- ----FIRST----one----
echo.
echo _____FIRST__________ _____________two____
echo --------------one--- ----SECOND----------
echo _____SECOND_________ or _____________one____ use -r -rf
echo --------------two--- ----FIRST-----------
echo.
echo _____SECOND___two___ ____________________
echo -------------------- ----FIRST----one----
echo _____FIRST____one___ or ____________________ no options needed
echo -------------------- ----SECOND---two----
echo.
echo _____SECOND_________ _____________one____
echo --------------two--- ----FIRST-----------
echo _____FIRST__________ or _____________two____ use -rf
echo --------------one--- ----SECOND----------
pause
echo.
echo If you use the suggested options, you should not have to do any paper
echo shuffling between or after front and back print passes to get perfect
echo 4Print and 4Book printouts. You will have to determine whether to
echo turn the entire stack over and/or around before reinserting the pages
echo for the back pass. One 4Print or 4Book test run should enable you to
echo figure this out.
echo.
echo Note that once you've determined the proper paper handling options to
echo use, you can enter them in your 4PRINT environment variable and then
echo forget about them. For example, if you have a IIP or IIIP and are
echo using the normal paper path, chances are you need both the -r and -rf
echo options. Adding this line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT will yield perfect
echo 4Print and 4Book printouts every time:
echo.
echo SET 4PRINT=-r -rf
echo.
