Revision History:
Date: Ver.: Comment:
6-16-84 1.0 -Worked on IBM/OKI 192 GRAPHICS compatible printers.
7-24-86 1.1 -Now also works on EPSON printers.
(NOTE: Linefeeds not as nice as Ver. 1.0!)
8-26-86 1.2 -Put separate line feed code for each type of printer supported.
Requires printer type to be specified on program startup.
Program Description:
Memory resident graphics print screen utility. It will print out a Med-Res.
or Hi-Res. screen image. It will NOT do a screen print if the CGA is
in TEXT mode!
Printer Requirements:
-IBM or compatible GRAPHICS printer. (I Use/have and OKIDATA 192)
-Epson or Epson compatible GRAPHICS printer.
Note: If you have and IBM PROPRINTER or GRAPHICS Printer I would suggest
you also try out the "E"pson mode. The linefeed spacing might
turn out better? I don't know because I test all this code on
my OKIDATA 192 printer.
If you have and EPSON and want to try using IBM mode then:
Make sure you put your printer in IBM graphics mode emulation
before running this program. (E.G. Some Epsons need to have the
dip switches changed to IBM mode before this program works when
envoked with the "I" or "O" printer type parameter.)
How to use program:
Enter this programs name at the DOS prompt along with the printer
type. The allowed printer types are "I" for IBM, "O" for OKIDATA
192 series printers, and "E" for Epson type printers. Example:
IF you have an Epson printer then you would enter:
A>TP12 E <plus return key>
After the opening menu displays the program will load the proper
printer driver and return to the DOS prompt. The program is now Memory
Resident. Use the following keystroke combinations to Print the Screen
or Remove the program from memory.
Keyboard Key Usage:
Text Modes
----------
-When the Video Adapter (CGA) is in TEXT mode the following keys function
as follows.
ALT-F1 -Pops up TEXT window to let you remove this program from memory.
CTRL-END -Pressing the Control and END key removes this program from memory.
NOTE: You must first press ALT-F1 then CTRL-END to release the memory that
this program uses. Make sure you are at the DOS prompt and NO other
Memory Resident programs have been loaded after this one.
Graphics Modes
--------------
-When the CGA is in a GRAPHICS mode (Like when Viewing one of the
'Digi-Pics') the keys below do the following:
Alt-F1 -Pops up Graphic Window to let you print the screen image.
-[F1] will print the screen how it looks.
-[F3] will print the screen inversely. (Whats white will be
printed black and what's black will be printed white.)
Purpose of Program and how to use with 'DIGI PICs' :
I developed this program to print the fantastic Digital Pictures that
Dion Kraft has digitized. I have tested it out on numerous 'DIGI PICs'
and it produces a nice mini poster. To print out all three screen
images continously load this program first. Then run the 'DIGI PIC'
program as usual. Reset your printer by turning it off and on. Make sure
you have at least two continuous pages on your printer. Hit Alt-F1 for the
screen print menu. Then hit the [F1] key. After the first page is printed
hit a key to get the next screen frame. Make sure not to touch anything on
the printer at this time or the next screen image won't be below the previous
one!. Continue the process until you have printed all the screen frames from
the 'DIGI PIC' program. You know have a Beautiful Mini Poster of a
Digitized Picture.
Enjoy!
