- Quick ASCII printing can be performed directly from the
- Editress, by selecting PRINT from the FILE menu (^P).
-
- The PRINTER DIALOG provides the following options:
-
- ∙ Print the whole or just the selection of a text
- window
-
- ∙ Choose a text window to print text from
-
- ∙ The number of copies
-
- ∙ One- or two-column output
-
- ∙ The height and width of a column of text on the
- printer in character cells.
-
- ∙ The top and bottom margins in the number of lines
- from the top of the page.
-
- ∙ The left margin in horizontal character cells
-
- ∙ The middle margin in horizontal cells between the
- columns, for two-column output.
-
- ∙ Page header on/off. A page header is one extra
- line at the top of a page showing file name,
- time, date and page number.
-
- ∙ The option to use form feed or a fixed bottom
- margin.
-
- EXAMPLE. Your chain paper-based matrix printer has a
- condensed character set. With this set, a page
- contains 66 lines and 164 characters per line. For
- printing a text in two-column format without form
- feeds, choose the following values:
-
- Column height 60, width 78
- Margins: top 3, bottom 2, left: 4, middle: 4
- Form feeds off, page header on.
-
- (1 + 3 + 2 + 60 = 66, 4 + 4 + 2 * 78 = 164)
-
-
- ** form feeds and bottom margin are only sent to the
- printer BETWEEN pages, not before and after
- printing.
