PRT-Menu Version 1.0

PRT-Menu (C) 1993: PRT-Menu is a printer menu program which allows
you to access various features of your printer:
Color Selection,
Character Font,
Character Highlight,
Character Pitch,
Word Processing,
Paper Feed,
Paper Feed (amount),
Page Format,
through software control rather than a printer operator panel.
Your printer is driven by "escape sequences" and control codes
consisting of different ASCII characters. One way to control
your printer is using a batch file or language program to issue
these commands. PRT-Menu eliminates the need for such programs
and provides a fast and convenient way of interfacing you with
your printer.
PRT-Menu makes it easy for you to combine character fonts with
various character pitches and character highlights; set your
margins and page length, while integrating the word processing
functions. If you use a text editor, you will appreciate the
"text and formatting" finish you can add to your documents.
Using PRT-Menu, you can set the margins, page length, and fonts
for mailing labels without using special label software.
It is quick and easy to run the PRT-Menu; select the features you
want your printer to initialize; exit the program and print your
document, labels etc.
Virtually any Epson Compatible Printer can use PRT-Menu. In
particular, the Panasonic (KXP Series), and all Epson LQ-860
Compatibles, as well as other compatibles.
PRT-Menu has the following requirements:
. IBM PC, XT, AT or 100% compatible computer
. DOS 2.0+ or later
. Microsoft Compatible Mouse
. VGA and color monitor
. Epson Compatible Dot Matrix Printer
INSTALLATION
For hard drive users, either copy all the files from the
PRT-Menu Disk to any directory on your hard drive, or create
a directory named PRT-MENU as follows:
C:\>MD PRT-MENU
C:\>COPY A:*.* \PRT-MENU
All files must be located in the same directory. The directory
should be included in the PATH Statement of your AUTOEXEC.BAT
File. This allows you to run PRT-Menu from any directory on
your hard disk. Refer to your DOS manual for details on the
PATH Statement. Floppy drive users can execute the program
from the PRT-Menu Diskette.
