1.0 Instructions
1.1 Instructions on TEXT2HP
This program sends a text file to a Hewlett-Packard Plus, HP II series,
HP III series or HP 4 series printer or 100% compatible. To set up, place
the TEXT2HP.EXE file and the I.FNT file in a directory reachable by path,
and put the fillowing line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
SET EPATH=<DRIVE> :\ <DIRECTORY WHERE TEXT2HP IS>
for example,
SET EPATH=C:\TEXT2HP
TEXT2HP will give you an error if the EPATH is not set up so it points to
the directory where the I.FNT file is.
The syntax for TEXT2HP is:
Usage: TEXT2HP <filename> [ format [ LPT port [ Duplex ]]]
Filename is the file you wish to print:
Format is the print page format:
1 = 1 column portrait,
2 = double column landscape - default
LPT Port is the printer port you wish to send output to:
L1 = LPT1: - default
L2 = LPT2:
L3 = LPT3:
Duplex is if you want duplex printing (printing on both sides of the paper)
Duplex printing is possible on HP series IID, IIID, IIIsi (w/ duplex option)
D1 = No duplex - default
D2 = Duplex printing desired
Examples:
TEXT2HP $READ.ME - Prints file in 2-column landscape format, LPT1, no duplex
TEXT2HP $READ.ME 1 L2 D2 - Prints file in 1-column landscape, LPT2, duplex on
This program is distributed as a demo of Escape, and also as a freeware
utility since I found it useful to have around. You can freely distribute
this program as long as the contents of the archive are not modified in any
way, all files are kept together and no cost is charged for this program.
If you have any comments or suggestions (or bugs?) about TEXT2HP, my CI$
