Operation Manual
GPRINT lets you print graphics memory on a graphics
(dot-addressable) printer, such as Radio Shack's DMP-1~~
(26-1253) or DMP-2~~ (26-1254). Both of these printers have
a 9 1/2" carriage. However, distortion will occur when
Graphic routines are printed with GPRINT. This is because
GPRINT is not a true pixe1-by-pixe1 "Screen Dump" since the
pixel size and spacing on the screen is different from the
pixel size and spacing on the Printer. GPRINT is a point of
departure for you to obtain hard-copy representations of
graphics.
To print graphic displays, GPRINT turns the contents of the
Graphic Screen clockwise 9~ degrees and then prints.
However, FORMS must be used to set printing parameters.
Most uses will require that you set FORMS when TRSDOS Ready
is displayed:
FORMS (LINES=6~,WIDTH=~) <ENTER>
See your Model III Operation and BASIC Language Reference
and printer owner's manual for more details on setting
printing parameters.
Important Note! Do not press <BREAK> while GPRINT is
executing.
Examples
When TRSDOS Ready is displayed, type:
GPRINT <ENTER>
or when the BASICG READY prompt (» is displayed, type:
CMD" I" , "GPRINT" <ENTER>
or
l~~ CMD"I","GPRINT"
For a complete GPRINT sample session, see Appendix D.
