14. Pause at New Page
Choices: YES NO
Determines whether ThinkTank will pause before begin-
ning a new page. Set this format to YES if you are
using single sheets of paper that have to be fed in-
dividually into your printer. When the new sheet is
ready, press the space bar to resume printing or
press ESC to finish the document without pausing.
If you are using continuous—form paper, set this for—
mat to NO and ThinkTank will print without pausing.
15. Number of Copies
Range: 1—10000
Determines how many copies of your outline are prin-
ted. (1)
16. Printer Initialization Message
Range: 0—40 characters
Some printers, or the adapters which connect them to
your computer, require a setup or initialization mes-
sage to print properly. For example, the message
may tell the printer how to behave when it reaches
the end of a line. Your printer manual or dealer
can tell you whether such a message is necessary and
what it- should be. If your printer, like most, does
not require an initialization message, leave this
format empty. If in doubt, try printing without a
message. If the results are unsatisfactory —— for
example, if your printer tries to print the entire
document on one line —— you will need to enter an
initialization message.
Sometimes printers require an “unprintable” charac-
ter like CTRL—I, ESC, or a carriage return in an
initialization message. You can enter most of these
characters directly into the message; to enter
CTRL—I, for example, just press CTRL—I. But suppose
you have to enter a carriage return. If you try to
do so, ThinkTank will think you’re ending the mes-
sage and return to the instructions for reviewing
