PRINTING GRAPHICS SCREENS
EPSON.COM
=========
A replacement for GRAPHICS.COM, and may be used with a variety of dot
matrix printers. Many printers emulate Epson type graphics, so even if your
printer is not an Epson, this routine may still work.
SCRNDMP.COM
===========
SCRNDMP v 1.02 will install an enhancement to the PrtSc key which adds
graphics printing support for Hercules Mono, Color Graphics Adapter (mono
mode) and Enhanced Graphics Adapter (6430x350 Color). Printers supported
are Okidata 92, Okidata 192, Epson/IBM, and C.Itoh Prowriter. Only the
selected driver remains resident. Copyrighted by Hardwood Software
Associates. Entered into public domain for non-commercial use only. Version
1.02 corrects page selection on EGA. Used by permission.
Instructions for using SCRNDMP
Usage: SCRNDMP /g /p
Where: g = E[GA] for Enhanced Graphics(640x350 Color)
= C[GA] for Color Graphics(640x200 Mono only)
= H[ercules] for Herc Mono Graphics (720x348 Mono)
p = E[PSON] for EPSON/IBM printer
= C[ITOH] for CITOH PROWRITER/PROWRITER II printer
= 1[92] for OKIDATA 192 printer
= 9[2] for OKIDATA 92 printer
EXAMPLE:Suppose you had a Hercules type monitor setup, and an Epson
printer. You would enter the following command at the DOS prompt:
C>SCRNDMP /h/e
When you press Print Screen or choose Print from a graphics menu,
1)If the screen is a text screen, press the spacebar.
2)If the screen is a graphics screen, press the number 1 on the upper
row of number keys.
If no key is pressed within 10 seconds the regular text print screen
routine is used. Graphics printing in progress can be canceled by pressing
'ESC'.
GRAF.COM
========
(Graftrax) A replacement for GRAPHICS.COM, with Epson Graftrax and IBM
Graphics printers.
LASERJET.EXE
============
The LASETJET/THINKJET PRINT SCREEN utility allows you to print the contents
of your display screen using the HP LaserJet or compatible printers. The
normal command to use the LASERJET program is with the following command:
C>LASERJET A
To print the contents of the PC display, perform the following two-step
procedure:
a. Press "SHIFT-PrtSc" (or P in a KWIKSTAT graphics screen.) After a
5-second delay, your display screen will be dumped to the printer. Note
that if the display is in Alpha mode, an "A" will flash in the upper left
corner of the screen. If the screen is in Graphics mode, a short
horizontal line will appear in the upper left corner of the screen.
b. You may select any of the options from the list below by pressing the
key of the desired option within 5 seconds of pressing the "SHIFT-PrtSc".
One option from each group (orientation, print positioning, or page
ejection) may be selected. Printing will begin 5 seconds after the last
key is pressed. The Enter key may be pressed to terminate the 5-second
delay. NOTE: If you select any of the options listed below, you do not
have to select one from each group--those that are not specified will
default automatically.
KEY OPTION
ORIENTATION * P -- PORTRAIT ORIENTATION
L -- LANDSCAPE ORIENTATION
PRINT POSITIONING * T -- TOP OF PAGE (PORTRAIT MODE ONLY)
M -- MIDDLE OF PAGE (PORTRAIT MODE ONLY)
B -- BOTTOM OF PAGE (PORTRAIT MODE ONLY)
PAPER EJECTION * Y -- AUTO FORM FEED AT END OF PAGE
N -- NO AUTO FORM FEED AT END OF PAGE
ENTER KEY -- TERMINATES 5-SECOND TIME-OUT PERIOD, *=Default values
HERCLJ
=======
This program is similar to the LASERJET program described above. Use the
command HERCLJ A.
Here is a table to help you decide which graphics program to use:
GRAPHICS/MONITOR TYPE
--------------|--------------------|------------
PRINTER | STANDARD |MONOGRAPHICS
TYPE | CGA&COMPATIBLES |HERCULES
--------------|--------------------|------------
EPSON or | DOS GRAPHICS | SCRNDMP
IBM Graphics | or EPSON | or (HGCIBM
Epson Compat. | or GRAF | and GRAF)
--------------|--------------------|------------
HP Laserjet | LASERJET | HERCLJ
--------------|--------------------|------------
HGCIBM is a program that makes a Hercules behave like a CGA monitor. It is
a Shareware program available from many sources. If you use a program such
as HGCIBM, you must set up KWIKSTAT as if you had a CGA compatible
monitor.
This program supports printing of graphics in CGA mode. EPSON also supports
EGA printing. Therefore, you must display graphics in the appropriate mode
before printing. In order to print graphs in higher modes, EGA or VGA, you
must use a separate screen capture/print program such as Hijaak, Inset,
Collage, Pizzaz, Frieze (PC-Paintbrush) or other similar programs.
