The currently selected printer is the TeemTalk default printer if specified, or the printer
specified in the Control panel, when the dialog box is displayed for the first time after
TeemTalk is loaded or reset, otherwise it is the printer that was last used.
Selecting a printer other than the default printer will enable the Save New Default
option. If you click the OK button when this option is selected, the currently
highlighted printer will become the new default printer. If you want to keep the
original printer as the default, uncheck this box before clicking OK.
The Microsoft Windows Print Manager normally controls all print formatting,
translates host characters to supported printer characters, and also provides a spooling
facility. A disadvantage of using the Print Manager is that any print formatting escape
sequences received from the host are stripped. The Through Print Action options
enable you overcome this problem.
If you want to use the Print Manager but disable its print formatting process so that the
original escape sequences from the host are retained, select both the Use Print
Manager and PassThru options. (Note that the PassThru option will be
unselectable if the printer driver currently selected does not support this facility.)
If you want to bypass the Print Manager, deselect the Use Print Manager option.
The FormFeed Terminator and Translate National Characters options will
become available. Selecting the FormFeed Terminator option will cause the printer
to advance the paper to the top of the form when it has finished printing. The setting
of the Translate National Characters option determines whether or not the ISO
Latin characters used by Microsoft Windows are translated to IBM characters for the
printer.
If you find a through print results in data being split into lines, each treated as a
separate print job, specify a time in the Seconds Close Delay box (e.g. 5 seconds).
This will enable the next line of data to be sent before the print job is assumed to
have finished and therefore prevents the print job from being closed prematurely.
When Auto Line Feed is selected, every carriage return command will be followed
by a line feed command.
The Setup... button enables you to display the Microsoft Windows Print Setup
dialog box for the currently selected printer. This includes a Fonts... button which
enables you to change the font settings. The "Courier New" 11 point font will be used
by default.
Note: The Printer Setup option will be unselectable if no printer
is installed or if the Status option in the Microsoft Windows
Printers dialog box is set to Inactive.
Print Screen...
This will display a dialog box which enables you to produce a hardcopy of data
displayed on the screen in a particular format.
