Printing with HyperView PM
Many HyperView users have requested a print function. The following
instructions will let you print an entire document, or an extract, from
HyperView PM. The result is roughly equivalent to using the 'Print'
command from the command line.
Please view these instructions as a temporary expedient. More
sophisticated methods of printing are currently under investigation.
1. Make sure you have enabled both 'Expand tabs' and 'Add hard return'
from the 'Format output' cascade menu.
2. Enable word wrap if you are viewing a word processing document or a
stripped ASCII file.
3. Be sure that HyperView's right margin is set to the correct width for
your printer's default font and default paper width.
4. Gather the text you wish to print. To print an entire file, use the
'Gather all' command from the menu or type CTRL+/.
5. Choose 'Save to file' from the menu or type F9.
6. Check the 'Format' box in the Save Gathered Text dialog.
7. For file name select 'PRN' or 'LPT#' (where # equals the number of
your printer port, for example LPT1).
8. Push 'OK' or type Enter.
Caveats:
1. Don't try this in hex view.
2. The effectiveness of this method may depend on your printer driver.
HyperView uses the current default printer driver associated with the
printer port designated in step 7 above.
3. Be especially careful before using this technique with a network
printer.
