- To INSTALL the Toshiba Printer Tables, place the disk with this file in
- Drive a:. Then with Drive a: as the default drive, type COPYPRTR B: where B:
- is the DRIVE AND PATH designator where you want the printer table files
- copied. Follow the instructions on the screen. Seven files will be copied. I
- recommend copying to a backup copy of your VOLKSWRITER disk, or to your hard
- disk.
- To get INSTRUCTIONS AND HINTS FOR USE, place the disk with this file in
- Drive a:. With Drive a: as the default drive, type COPYINST B: where B: is
- the DRIVE AND PATH indicating where you want the instructions copied. Follow
- instructions on the screen. Seven files will be copied. Those are
- VOLKSWRITER text and format files. They should be put on a disk (or directory)
- where you keep VOLKSWRITER text and format files that you want to save. If
- you wish to keep them with the printer tables, you may copy them to the disk
- with the VOLKSWRITER program files.
- Next, start VOLKSWRITER. Retrieve file INSTVXPT.RCE with VOLKSWRITER.
- Print the file by positioning the cursor at the beginning and hitting ALT-F1.
- You'll need 8.5" by 11" continuous forms in your printer. If you do not have
- those, or do not have a tractor feed, change the formats IN12.FMT, INCOND.FMT,
- IN12TITL.FMT IN12HS.FMT and, IN12INDT.FMT to match your situation and print
- the file. Note, you may need to go to some effort to be sure that the
- embedded formats used by INSTVXPT.RCE can be accessed by VOLKSWRITER. As
- provided, the format files are expected to be on the drive you normally use
- for storing text and format files. You will need to put the disk you made
- using the COPYINST B: command in that drive. Alternately, you can use the
- REPLACE (alt-F7) feature in VOLKSWRITER to change "..format" to "..formata:"
- (or whatever drive\path is appropriate) when needed in the INSTVXPT.RCE file.
- Be sure to read the instructions in the VOLKSWRITER manual, page 5-16 before
- doing that.
- Finally, to make a duplicate copy of all the printer table, instruction,
- and copying files, place this disk in a drive, say B:. Place a blank
- formatted disk in another drive, say A:. They type B:COPYALL B: A: and
- follow the instructions on the screen.
- For your convenience, a copy of this file (README) is printed as the last
- page of the instructions.
