Print Mode
The Print Mode select field permits to specify the data type for the output:
Screen-Dump (Landscape) Copy of the current display in landscape format
An example of a screen-dump copy is shown in a preview to the right of the select
field.
Destination
The Destination select field permits to specify the output destination for the data:
Printer Output to external printer connected via the parallel or one of the
serial interfaces. The printer is configured in the Setup – Print tab;
see p. 4.9 ff.
Internal Storing in the current printer format to directory c:\temp\<Dir> where
<Dir> is the target directory specified in the Filename Default input
field of the Setup – Print tab. If <Dir> is not explicitly defined, the
files are written to c:\temp.
Internal WMF Storing in *.wmf format.
External Storing in the current printer format to the <Dir> target directory
(see Internal above) on the PCMCIA card (slot 0, right-hand slot) or
floppy disk (with option CMU-U61). A message box Please insert
disc ! Repeat ? Yes/No pops up if no storage medium is inserted in
the drive. To print, insert the appropriate medium and confirm with
Yes.
External WMF Storing in *.wmf format to the PCMCIA card or floppy disk; see
above.
Note: To make processing of the generated data files easier, we
recommend to use the External output destination.
Filename
If the data is to be written to a file, a file name can be specified in the Filename
input field. By default, files are stored with the file name defined in the Setup –print
tab (see p. 4.9). The question mark (?) in this default name is replaced by current
numbers starting with zero (auto-increment function). If a file name used before is
specified, or if a file where the question mark has been replaced by "9" is already
stored in the target directory, a message box Print: overwrite existing file Yes/No
pops up. Pressing No aborts the print procedure and closes the Print popup menu.
Comment
The input field Comment contains a comment (comprising up to 160 characters) for
the current output. This field is not available if a *.wmf output is generated. When
the output is sent to a printer the comment is written across the upper edge of the
page.
Printer format
The current printer format is indicated below the Comment input field. To change
this format, open the Setup –print tab (see p. 4.9) to select another printer.
Ok
The Ok button starts the data output and closes the Print menu.
To cancel the print process while preserving the current settings and close the Print
menu press the PRINT key again.
