PROGRAMMING THE PRINTER WITH DOS COMMANDS
If your system includes the file PRINT.COM you can use the main
DOS printing command. Simply type the word PRINT followed by the name
of the file you want to print. To print a file named README.DOC, for
example, type:
A>PRINT README.DOC
The computer may respond with the following message, asking which
printer to use:
Name of list device [PRNI:
If your computer is connected to only one printer, press RETURN to
select the default choice (PRN). Printing will begin and the A> prompt
will reappear. You can execute other commands or programs while the file
is being printed.
A single PRINT command can print two or more tiles. List the file names
consecutively on the same line, or use wild-card characters (* and ?). Each
file will be printed starting on a new page. The PRINT command also has
control options. For example, you can terminate a printing job in progress
with the /T option. (The printer may not stop printing immediately; it may
have considerable data stored ahead in its buffer.) For the /T option, type:
A>PRINT/T
See your DOS manual for further information about the PRINT
command. If your system does not include PRINT.COM, you can print files
by using the PRN device name in COPY or TYPE commands such as the
following:
A>COPY README.DOC PRN
AXYPE README.DOC > PRN
COPY and TYPE do not permit you to execute other commands while
the tile is printing.
