Define
printers you will be using:
SNAP-2-IT
allows up to 3 printers to be connected to the parallel (LPT)
ports (if they are available) and up to 4 printers to be
connected to the serial (COM) ports (if they are
available). The printer configuration tells SNAP-2-IT
where each printer is connected and what type of printer
it is.
From the main menu, choose
"C" for configuration, then "8" for
Printer Setup.
This
displays the list of printers that have been defined and
gives each one a name. Printers can be named anything you
would like. When more than one printer connected to your
computer or network, descriptive names can be helpful.
To change the name or
characteristics of one of the printers in this list, move
the "highlight" bar to the desired printer
(using the "up" and "down"
"arrow" keys) and press "V" to view.
Changing the screen is easily
done by pressing "E" to edit the screen. While
in "edit" mode, you may move to any of the
fields and define the name of the printer, its emulation
type and which port is used to connect the printer to the
computer.
Defining a
new printer name or changing the characteristics of an
existing printer name is also easy. To add a new printer
name type an "A" at the Printer that I Use List
window and a blank "I use this Printer" form
will be displayed.
The
"Printer Name" is what you want to call the
printer. The "Printer Emulation" field defines
the type of printer. The "Printing to LPT" or
"COM" fields tell how the printer is being
connected to the computer.
The printer
name can be any name you want to use.
The printer
emulation describes the kind of printer. You will be able
to select the printer emulation from a list of printers on
file. The majority of printers emulate either an Epson,
IBM, or Hewlett Packard printer.
If you don’t recognize
your printer in this list, use the following rule of
thumb: If you are defining a dot matrix printer, choose
Epson. If you have a laser printer, choose HP Laser. If
you aren’t sure, guess. If you try different printer
emulations and none seem to work, try the generic. If the
printer stops working or isn’t responding to a code you
feel is correct, turn the printer off for a few seconds
and then turn it back on. This will force the printer to
"clear" itself.
