Using Print and Print Setup Functions
Printing a Screen Image to a File on A: or C: Drives
1. Press Print Setup, Print To. Toggle the Print To key to select File.
2. Press the
File Type key, then select between gif, bmp, and wmf
formats.
3. To print a file to the floppy drive, toggle the
File Location key to A: and
insert a 3.5” HD floppy disc, formatted for MS-DOS, into the front
panel disk drive.
To print a file to the internal flash memory, toggle the File Location
key to
C:.
4. Select the Image format to be stored on the disk. Use
Normal to store
an image that is identical to the currently displayed image, with a
black background. Use Invert, which provides a a light background
with a dark trace, to minimize ink and toner consumption.
5. Press HCOPy Dest, then select
Printer. This enables you to generate
up to six files containing screen images.
Note: if
HCOPy Dest is set to FPanel only one file can be saved to
memory or a floppy disk. Any subsequent screen files will overwrite
the file currently saved in the A: or C: drives. For these reasons,
Printer is usually the preferred selection.
6. Press the front panel
PRINT key. If you have set HCOPy to Printer, six
filenames will appear in the softkeys: screen1.xxx, screen2.xxx,
screen3.xxx, screen4.xxx, screen5.xxx, and screen6.xxx (the xxx
extension will be gif, bmp, or wmf, depending on the file type selected
in
File Type). The destination drive name will also be displayed.
Press the appropriate screen#.xxx key. Files written to the A: drive
will be located at A:
screen#.xxx. Files written to the C: drive may
be accessed by the following path:
/users/ftp/pub/screen#.xxx.
Six files may be stored at the same time to either location. Any
subsequent files stored to the same filename will overwrite the
existing file
7. The disk may be removed from the A: drive once the LED on the
disk drive is off. Any files you have saved are now available to be
printed through use of an external computer and printer, or to be
imported into an electronic document.
Files located on the C: drive may be retrieved over the LAN by
ftp
with the use of an external computer.
