- THE PAPER SAVER
-
-
- Description:
-
- The Paper Saver is a printer utility for laser and H/P
- inkjet printers. It is a great solution for reducing the
- paper glut that comes when printing large ASCII text files.
- The program can print up to 8 pages of text on every sheet
- in a tiny, but very readable font. Or you can use a
- standard 10 point font in various layouts (landscape,
- back and front sides, etc.) Can print 1, 2, 4 or 8 pages
- on every sheet in single or double columns, front and/or
- back. It even prints in folded "booklet" format. Features
- page numbering, date, time and file name stamps on every
- page. Intelligent pop-up window menus make navigation a
- delight.
-
-
- Requirements:
-
- IBM PC compatible with DOS 3.0 or greater and a Hewlett-
- Packard DeskJet series printer, or any laser printer that
- supports or emulates a Hewlett-Packard LaserJet printer.
-
-
- To start:
-
- To begin the program, enter SAVER at the DOS prompt. After
- the opening title screen, you will be presented a Main
- Menu. If this is your very first time that you have used
- The Paper Saver, then choose the "Configuration options"
- selection. This will display a larger menu listing. From
- the "Configuration options" menu, select your printer and
- printer port. You should also select the establish the
- page mode (landscape or portrait) that you wish to print.
- Once these three selections have been made, return to the
- Main Menu. All of your selections will be saved in a .CFG
- configuration file, so that next time you use the program
- these preliminary steps will not be necessary.
-
- After configuring the program to work with your printer,
- select a file by first picking "Select file to print" from
- the Main Menu. This will display a file/directory listing
- menu. Locate and identify the ASCII file you wish to
- print.
-
- Once you have selected the file you want to print, then
- proceed with the actual printing sequence.
-
- If you wish to by-pass the file/directory listing menu, you
- can "feed" The Paper Saver the name of the file you wish to
- print from the command line. For example, at the DOS prompt
- enter -> SAVER C:\DOS\README.TXT to have the README.TXT file
- in the C:\DOS directory selected for printing. This will
- reduce the number of steps necessary prior to printing, by-
- passing the Main Menu altogether.
-
