PRINT Used primarily to print the contents of files
to your printer device. Through the use of the
"queue", multiple files can be included in a
single PRINT command and these files will be
automatically printed in order while you are
using the computer to perform other work.
Format: PRINT [/D][/Q][/C][/T][/P] FileSpec(s)
/D:device DEVICE to which output is to be directed
/Q:size maximum number of entries for the QUEUE
(default size is 10).
/C CANCELS the previous and following entries on
the command line. (Removes files from QUEUE.)
/T CANCELS the QUEUE completely.
/P ADDS the previous and following entries on the
command line.
Example: PRINT /D:LPT1 /Q:32
Sets up the output DEVICE as the lpt1 printer and
establishes a QUEUE size of 32.
Example: PRINT MYFILE.TXT
Prints the contents of the file named MYFILE.TXT
that is located in the CURRENT directory.
Example: PRINT MYFILE.TXT *.LTR
Prints the contents of the file named MYFILE.TXT
and ALL files with a .LTR ext that are located in
the CURRENT directory. (Up to max QUEUE size.)
Example: PRINT MYFILE.TXT \WP\LTRS\MARY.LTR
Prints MYFILE.TXT file in the CURRENT directory and
the file named MARY.LTR that is located in the
\WP\LTRS subdirectory of the CURRENT drive.
Example: PRINT /C WP\LTRS\MARY.LTR
CANCELS the queue entry for the file named MARY.LTR
in the \WP\LTRS directory on the CURRENT drive.
Example: PRINT /C MARY.LTR JANE.LTR /P JOHN.LTR
CANCELS the queue entry for the file named MARY.LTR
in the CURRENT directory and ADDS the files named
JANE.LTR and JOHN.LTR in the CURRENT directory to
the queue.
Example: PRINT MARY.LTR /C JANE.LTR JULIE.LTR /P
CANCELS the queue entries for files named MARY.LTR
and JANE.LTR in the CURRENT directory and ADDS the
file named JULIE.LTR in the CURRENT directory to
queue.
Example: PRINT \WP\*.TXT /C JANE.LTR \WP\*.LTR /P
CANCELS the queue entries for ALL files in the \WP
directory with a .TXT ext and the JANE.LTR file in
CURRENT directory and ADDS ALL files with a .LTR
ext that are in the \WP directory.
Example: PRINT
The PRINT command when used with no parameters or
switches will display a QUEUE Status Report.
Example: PRINT /T
Terminates all in-progress printing and CANCELS all
files that were previously placed in the queue by
earlier PRINT commands.
[*] The PRINT command is the means by which the user
controls the entries in the QUEUE. Essentially, the
QUEUE is simply a "holding area" where the names of
the files are stored until they are passed to the
device for printing. This allows printing activities
to take place in the "background" and frees up the
computer for other activities needed by the user.
[*] The switches for control of memory allocation and
printing times for the PRINT command (/B:,/U:,/M:
and /S:) are not covered in this program.
