5.14 Printer Parameters
PRINTER=type[/resolution[/port#]]
Defines your printer setup. The SSTOOLS.INI file is a REAL handy place
to put this option, so that it's available whenever you have that
sudden, irresistible urge for hard copy.
Printer types:
IB IBM-compatible (default)
EP Epson-compatible
HP LaserJet
CO Star Micronics Color printer, supposedly Epson-color-compatible
PA Paintjet
PS PostScript
PSL Postscript, landscape mode
PL Plotter using HP-GL
Resolution:
In dots per inch.
Epson/IBM: 60, 120, 240
LaserJet: 75, 150, 300
PaintJet: 90, 180
PostScript: 10 through 600, or special value 0 to print full page to
within about .4" of the edges (in portrait mode, width is full page and
height is adjusted to 3:4 aspect ratio)
Plotter: 1 to 10 for 1/Nth of page (e.g. 2 for 1/2 page)
Port:
1, 2, 3 for LPT1-3 via BIOS
11, 12, 13, 14 for COM1-4 via BIOS
21, 22 for LPT1 or LPT2 using direct port access (faster when it works)
31, 32 for COM1 or COM2 using direct port access
COMPORT=port/baud/options
Serial printer port initialization.
Port=1,2,3,etc.
Baud=115,150,300,600,1200,2400,4800,9600
Options: 7,8 | 1,2 | e,n,o (any order).
Example: comport=1/9600/n81 for COM1 set to 9600, no parity, 8 bits per
character, 1 stop bit.
LINEFEED=crlf|lf|cr
Specifies the control characters to emit at end of each line: carriage
return and linefeed, just linefeed, or just carriage return. The
default is crlf.
TITLE=yes
If specified, title information is added to printouts.
PRINTFILE=[<path>\]filename
Causes output data for the printer to be written to the named file on
disk instead of to a printer port. The filename is incremented by 1 each
time an image is printed - e.g. if the name is FRAC01.PRN, the second
print operation writes to FRAC02.PRN, etc. Existing files are not
overwritten - if the file exists, the filename is incremented to a new
name.
