- **** Note ****
-
- You should read the section entitled 'All about Multi-Print's Switches'
- contained in MPRINT40.DOC before proceeding further if you are not familiar
- with how Multi-Print's 'switches' work.
-
- ***************
-
- The User Configuration Utility, hereafter known as UCU, will allow you to
- store your most commonly used switches to a configuration file, which will
- be loaded when you run Multi-Print. For example, lets say you use the
- following switches the most: MPRINT /S+ /PH+ /PP+ /DT+ README.DOC
- ^ ^ ^ ^
- |__ Switches __|
-
- You need only enter them once in the UCU and they, the switches, will be
- loaded automatically when you run Mprint. Let's create your own
- configuration file by running the file CONFIGMP.EXE now.
-
- You will always know the location of the configuration file you will be
- creating, or over-writing by looking at the first line inside the box which
- says,'Using Config File:'. If a configuration file was found you will be
- shown it's location on this line, such as: C:\DOS\. Okay, now let's get
- started. The first question is:
-
- Enable the print sensor [N] (Y or N) ?
-
- The 'N'(No) in the box '[ ]' tells you that this is the value Mprint will
- use right now, if you decided NOT to alter it. If you want Mprint to use
- the print sensor just type a 'Y'. If you want to keep what it is set to
- now just tap the RETURN button. Any other answer besides an 'N' or a 'Y'
- will be met with a beep.
-
- Further on you will be asked another question that requires you to enter a
- number within a certain range. For example:
-
- Set default page length to [64] (25-200) ?
-
- At this point the UCU is asking you for a number between 25 and 200.
- Anything else will be rejected and you will have to re-enter your number.
-
- There are eleven questions in all. These questions allow you to pre-set the
- most commonly used switches. When you finish answering all of them you will
- either be asked if you want to save the values you entered or over-write an
- existing configuration file file.
-
- The UCU has a special feature which enables it to search for a
- configuration file if one was not found in your current directory. Here's
- how you can do this:
-
-
- User Configuration Utility Page 02 Multi-Print v4.0
-
-
- Type the following in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file which is, or will be, located
- in the root directory of your hard disk, or diskette.
-
- SET PATH=DRIVE:\DIRECTORY <- Location of MPRINT40.EXE
- SET MPRINT=DRIVE:\DIRECTORY <- Location of MPCONFIG.CFG
- Set to same location as MRINT40.EXE.
-
- Now just re-boot your system and your all set to go ! Place MPRINT40.EXE
- and your newly created configuration file MPCONFIG.CFG in the location you
- specified in 'DRIVE:\DIRECTORY'.
-
- Now no matter where you are in your system you can run Multi-Print and it
- will load it's configuration file. If you are in a directory that already
- has a configuration file the UCU and Multi-Print will load it BEFORE it
- goes out to search for the one in your pre-set directory above. This
- feature allows you to have a seperate configuration file for different
- locations on your disk for different documents.
-
- And that's it !
