Printing the Summaries FILE: FP.HLP
Printing the reports generated via DBK can be handled one of two
ways.
Direct - This means that DBK will send the data to the printer of
your choice. (See Output for more info on what printer ports are
used.) In this mode, DBK will pause between pages assuming that
you need to adjust your printer. If you print the entire summary
(all pages), you may request continuous printing for tractor fed
configurations.
Indirect - Another way of printing is to write the results to a
.SUM disk file. Then, after you have left DBK, the file can be
sent to the printer of your choice via DOS. This method is no
faster than the direct method but it does allow you the option
of seeing the file before you print it. This might be desirable if
you are running intermediate reviews. DOS commands for sending the
.SUM file to the printer would look like this > COPY GOLFER.SUM
PRN or COPY GOLFER.SUM LPT2 dependent upon which printer
was to receive the data.
Either way, make sure the printer is set for 132 columns. Use the
Main Menu Ut lity option to send a condensing code for most dot
matrix printers. If you have a standard carriage daisy wheel,
you may not be able to write DBK reports.
