5.2.24.1 Printing the entire text or a marked block (SPC+1 2 3 4 7 8 or Chord P +
Dot 8)
Pressing [SPC+1 2 3 4 7 8] or (Chord P + Dot 8) causes the entire text or a marked block
to be printed. If no text is marked, the entire text is printed. If you want to print only part of
a text, press the [CR] key to position the cursor at the beginning of the desired block. Then
press the [CR] key again to activate the block-marking function and use the [L] or [R] keys
to move the cursor to the end of the desired block. Then press the [CR] once more. The
text block is now marked, and this is indicated by the dots 7 and 8. If you then start a
printout, only one copy of the marked block will be printed.
The editor cannot be used as long as this mode is active. It is available again only after the
print operation has been completed or aborted.
5.2.24.2 Printing the currently displayed line (SPC+4 5 6 7 8 or Ctrl+L)
[SPC+4 5 6 7 8] or {Ctrl+L} prints the line currently displayed on the Braille display.
If the number of characters in this line is greater than the number of characters per line set
for the printer, the displayed line will automatically be printed as several lines. However,
you must eject the last page manually.
5.2.24.3 Line-print mode (SPC+1 2 3 7 8 or Chord L + Dot 8)
Pressing [SPC+1 2 3 7 8] or (Chord L + Dot 8) activates this mode. You can then enter
text in the normal manner. Pressing [Enter] or Enter causes the text entered up to this
point to be printed. The line-print mode can be terminated by pressing [SPC+1 2 3 7 8] or
(Chord L + Dot 8) again.
Movement of the cursor within the text has no effect: only the text you have actually
entered is printed. Since the system ignores the settings for characters per line and lines
per page, you must eject the last printed page manually.
5.2.24.4 Typewriter mode (SPC+2 3 4 5 7 8 or Chord T + Dot 8)
The typewriter mode is activated by pressing [SPC+2 3 4 5 7 8] or (Chord T + Dot 8). After
this, each character you enter is sent directly to the printer. You can terminate the
typewriter mode by pressing [SPC+2 3 4 5 7 8] or (Chord T + Dot 8) again.
This mode will function correctly only if your printer supports the printing of short text
blocks (in this case: single characters). Typewriter mode does not permit formatting of the
text and does not execute an automatic "new page", since the entered characters are sent
directly to the printer without calculating their position within a line and the position of the
line on the page. For this reason, the last page must also be ejected manually.
The following editor functions are not available in typewriter mode:
