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.
