- BASICS:
- PRINT will use the printer at LPT1 (Printer Port 1).
- Print is designed to work with continuous feed (like dot
- matrix) printers or LASER printers.
-
- MENU ITEMS:
- PRINT ALL prints the ENTIRE file opened in memory.
- PRINT CURRENT prints the currently shown record.
- PRINT LAST SEARCH prints the record list from the last
- search that was performed.
- FORMATTING allows you to choose the type of arrangement
- of printing records you require:
-
- VERT prints records up and down on the page and to the
- left:
- RECORD1
- ...
- RECORD2
- ...
- etc.
-
- HORIZ prints them left - right so as to minimize paper
- used:
- RECORD1......................
- RECORD2......................
- etc.
-
- 2 COL prints up and down in two columns:
- RECORD1 RECORD2
- ... ...
- RECORD3 RECORD4
- ... ...
- etc.
-
- MASK FIELD NAMES turns the field names used for the
- collection on and off for printing. When the box is
- checked, the FIELD NAME (such as TYPE, DESCRIPTION, etc.)
- is not printed; only the DATA will be printed. LINES PER
- PAGE allows you to insert a formfeed after any number of
- lines. It defaults to 66 (suitable for Dot Matrix
- printers). Set it to 60 or LESS if using a LASER or INK
- JET (Paint Jet, etc.) single sheet printer.
-
- USER SELECTABLE MASK CONFIGURATION:
- SETUP MASK allows you to define data that will NOT be
- printed. This is useful if you're printing a catalogue
- do not wish certain items (such as price paid) to be seen
- or included.
- MASK CONDITION ON/OFF is a toggle to indicate whether or
- not MASKING will be implemented.
