| 367.1 | one way to print on the 125 | EXPORT::AMES | | Mon Dec 15 1986 13:38 | 11 |
| Mike;
I use a little basic program to turn on the pronter port and another
to trun it off. It's not the best of all worlds, but it will get
the words onto an attached printer.
Send me mail if you would like a copy.

| I know how to print a file to the printer on my port. Maybe
I need to clarify this a little. I was regarding to something
like the "Print Screen" key on the VT2xx series. Is that
possible with a VT125 ?
I've heard of using a CTRL ENTER on a VT100 or a CTRL P ,
but it doesn't work on the VT125 !

Looking in my VT125 Users Guide, I don't see a direct way to do
what you want (which I believe is called "Print Extent" on a VT102).
There are the following escape sequences that may help you:
ESC [ 4 i Turn off copying of data from the host
computer to the printer port
ESC [ 5 i Turn on copying of data from the host
computer to the printer port
ESC [ 6 i Turn off copying of data from the host
computer to the screen
ESC [ 7 i Turn on copying of data from the host
computer to the screen
One way to try these out is to put your VT125 in local mode and
just type them in. Note, however, that you must use a lowercase
"i".
Regards,
John

| The printer port on a VT125 is unique, and limited. I don't believe there is
any way to do what you want.

| re: .4, .5
Jerry is correct. There is no way other than .4's escape sequences
to even deal with the 125 printer port. When the 125 was current
technology it seems there was no thought given to taking snapshots
of a screen. You could always reproduce your screen again after
turning on your printer port via the escape codes in .4.
If you are trying to illustrate a manual or something like that
you might consider investigating the SMG routines that deal with
snapshots. They dump directly to files if you want them to.

| You can print the graphics planes to a local printer with
a s(h) from inside ReGIS. That is all.
There is no built-in way to print the text plane to a local
printer. As said earlier, you must
a) turn printer port on
b) TYPE (or similar command) the file to the terminal
c) turn printer port off
