Selecting the range of frames to be printed:

You can print any range of consecutive frames.  You may
specify that you wish to start or end at the first or
last frames, or use the "From nnnn" and "To nnnn"
options to specify a more restrictive range.  The
default frame numbers supplied are those of the marked
frame and the currently highlighted frame, but they may
be changed by pressing ENTER when those menu items are
chosen.

Selecting which frames will be printed:

Only those frames which pass the current display
filters will be printed.  The summary window is a good
place to verify that the frames which pass the filters
are the ones you intend to print.

The station address filter, protocol filters, and
pattern match filters will all affect the selection.

Selecting which windows will be printed:

The views that are selected for the screen are the ones
that will be printed.  If only the summary view is
selected, frames will be displayed just as they appear
in the summary window.  If other views are selected,
the various views of each frame will be printed, and
the frames will be separated from each other by a
dashed separator line.

"Two viewport" mode and the current zoom in/out state
do not modify the information printed.

Selecting which protocols will be printed:

The summary and hex views will be printed as they are
displayed on the screen, and will be subject to all the
various formatting controls such as "highest level
only" and the time format selections.

The detail view will contain ONLY detail lines for the
protocol levels currently being displayed in the
summary view.  Turning off "highest level only" and
selecting all protocols for the display filters will
make all levels visible and thus appear in the
printout.

Where the output goes to:

You may direct the print output to the standard
parallel port (LPT1), to the serial port (COM1), or to
a disk file. If to a file, you will be asked to supply
the filename at the time you activate the printing, in
the same manner  as described for saving data and
setups.  The Sniffer appends the suffix .PRN to print
output saved on the disk.

You may wish to deselect the option which titles each
page when writing a disk file which will be read by
another program or database system.

Dealing with output devices

Setting up local printers may be a problematical task
because of the variation of interfaces, baud rates,
character formats and cables.  Refer to the DOS
Reference Manual description of the Mode command if you
are having difficulty with a serial printer on COM1,
and to the COMPAQ Operating Guide for information on
cables and connectors.  The RS232 serial interface is
unfortunately one of the world's most non-standard
Standards and problems are endemic.
