- WorkBench Printer Utility
-
-
- WBPrinter is a WorkBench 2.04 program that places an AppIcon in the main
- WorkBench window. If any file icons are droped onto the AppIcon the files they
- represent will be spooled to a specified directory then dumped to the printer.
-
-
-
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- WBPrinter is easy to install. Just drop its icon into the WBStartup drawer
- on your boot disk and WBPrinter will be started whenever you load WorkBench.
-
- WBPrinter accepts the following ToolTypes:
-
- SPOOLDIR=<path> directory to use for temporary storage of files
- to print. Defaults to "RAM:".
- Files are stored in the directory
- under the name PrintFile.n where n is a number
- that is incremented each time a file is spooled.
- This is to prevent one file from overwriting
- another of the same name.
-
- ICON=<path to icon> this is the FULL PATH to an icon You would like to
- use instead of the programs default icon (be sure
- to leave off the .info part).
-
- ICON_LEFT_EDGE=<n> indicates how far in pixels You want the icon to
- appear from the left edge of the WorkBench window.
- Defaults to no position.
-
- ICON_TOP_EDGE=<n> indicates how far in pixels You want the icon to
- appear from the top edge of the WorkBench window.
- Defaults to no position.
-
- SKIP_PERF=(TRUE|FALSE) indicates whether You would like to set your
- printer to skip perforations. defaults to TRUE.
- If your printer doesn't support perf skipping
- the setting of this will not matter.
-
- EJECT_PAGE=(TRUE|FALSE) indicates whether You would like to send a
- form-feed at the end of each print. defaults to
- TRUE.

- USAGE
-
- To print a file from WorkBench simply drag the files icon over the
- Printer icon. The file will then be printed.
-
- Double clicking on the printer icon will open up the control windoow.
- The first button selects printer line spacing (6 or 8 LPI).
- The second button selects print quality (Draft or NLQ).
- The third button selects print pitch (10, 12, or 15 CPI).
-
- Next are two number gadgets for entering the left and right margin values.
-
- The "From Preferences" button sets the previous five gadgets to values obtained
- from user preferences.
-
- The button labelled "Skip Perf" selects whether a form-feed will be performed
- after a certain number of lines are printed. When the button is checked a
- perforation skip will be performed. If your printer doesn't support perf
- skipping then the setting of this will not matter.
-
- The button labelled "Eject Page" select whether a form-feed will be performed
- after each print is completed. When the button is checked a form-feed will
- be performed.
-
- The scrolling list in the top right displays the names of all files that have
- been spooled. Click on one of the names to select it. Then you may click on
- the "CANCEL" button to cancel that print or the "NEXT" button to move that
- print up to be printed next.
-
-
- The "Set Spool Directory" button allows you to select a new directory to use
- as the temporary storage area. If there are still files in the current
- directory to be printed then this button will do nothing.
-
- The last button is the "Quit WBPrinter" button. This button will terminate
- WBPrinter and remove the icon from the screen.
