Printing the
screen
Now you’ve learned enough to make the LCD screen display text
and graphics. At some point, you may decide that you’d like to save
a copy of what you see on the screen.
You can make a hard copy of the LCD screen whenever you’d
like. To do so, you’ll use one of the specialfunction keys. which are
located just above the row of numeric keys on your HX-20
keyboard.
To print a copy of the LCD screen, just hold down the
q
key
(located at the left edge of the keyboard) and press function
key q . The HX-20’s built-in printer will activate and print a hard
copy of the LCD display. (If
m/1/1
does not activate the
printer, make sure that the printer has paper in it, and that the
PRINTER ON-OFF switch, located just above the
H
key, is in
the ON position.)
Once you’ve printed the screen, you may pull on the paper to
bring your printout into view. (Or you may hold down
the
[PAPER
key for this purpose-but that’s slow, and uses battery
power. Pulling on the paper will harm nothing as long as the printer
is inactive.)
Note that
m/m
causes the printer to print a copy of the
LCD screen, not the entire virtual screen. If you want hard copy of
the entire virtual screen, you must scroll the LCD window through
each portion of the virtual screen, and use
(cnnl/m
to print each
portion of the virtual screen that you display in this manner.
