S7 Frequencies
The S7 type frequencies that were available in the DOS version
of OnTime are not directly supported in OnTime for Windows.
However, the same effect can be achieved by creating a N1 record
with a start and end date as required. This method is more
efficient, and will allow you to easily modify, delete, or
reschedule all occurrences of this record if so required.
Timed Program Execution
OnTime for Windows can launch other programs at a predetermined
time. For example, you could have OnTime load MicroSoft Notepad
with a document ready to read for a meeting.
To do this:
1. Create an appointment at the time you require.
2. Turn on the alarm option.
3. In the message field enter
#OTRUN:<PROGRAM> <PARAMETERS> ...
In our example this might be #OTRUN:NOTEPAD.EXE README.DOC
and OnTime for Windows will load Notepad with the README.DOC
file at the selected time, instead of playing an alarm.
DeskJet Printer
We recommend that DeskJet users configure the OnTime
printouts to print in Portrait Mode. The default fonts
that windows generates for Landscape are not aesthetically
pleasing. If you have a Type Manager such as Adobe, or
Facelift, or MoreFonts, you may not encounter this problem.
The default right margin for the deskjet in Landscape should
be no less than 1/2 an inch, otherwise the right edge of the
printout will be cut off.
The default top margin for the deskjet in Portrait should
be no less than 1/2 an inch, otherwise the top edge of the
printout will be cut off.
There have been occasional reports of characters missing from
printouts when using the DeskJet Plus driver. It is therefore
recommended that you use the DeskJet driver.
NEC P/6 Printer
The default right margin for the NEC P/6 in Landscape should
be no less than 3/4 an inch, otherwise the right edge of the
printout will be cut off.
The default top margin for the NEC P/6 in Portrait should
be no less than 3/4 an inch, otherwise the top edge of the
printout will be cut off.
