- PRINTING GRAPHICS SCREENS
-
- Kwikstat works best with CGA, EGA or VGA compatible monitors with Epson
- or HP Laserjet compatible printers. If you are using a different
- combination of printer/monitor you may not be able to print all
- resolutions of graphics. Normally, graphics printing is built into
- Kwikstat, but for special cases, external graphics programs may
- be required to allow you to print graphic displays. If an external
- graphics program is required, the command for the program is placed
- in the KS.BAT file so that the program is activated each time you run
- KS. Also, a MARK and RELEASE command are used to mark the location of the
- memory resident program in memory, then release the memory when you
- finish using Kwikstat. Here are brief descriptions of some of the printer
- programs used. If you are still not able get graphics to print, we can
- provide you with a disk containing additional printer support.
-
- 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 LASERJET/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.
-
- b. You may select any of the options from the list below by pressing the
- key of the desired option within 5 seconds.
