Printing - Wyse WY-60 User Manual

Printing
The terminal is set up to communicate with a printer through the AUX port. If
you choose to connect the printer to the MODEM port instead, reverse the
functions of the ports by changing the DATA/PRINTER parameter in setup
mode. (Appendix A gives the connector pin assignments for both ports.)
To print data coming from the computer,
• Make sure the printer port is configured for transmit handshaking that
matches the requirements of your printer.
• Press | CTRL 1 | PRINT 1 ( [ P R I N T LINE 1, | SHIFT 1 | SYS R E Q [ ) to turn on auxiliary
print mode.
To print a page of data when you have a serial printer connected directly to the
terminal,
Press 1 SHIFT 1 | BREAK | (| BLOCK |) to put the terminal in block mode.
Press 1 PRINT 1 ( | P R T S C | , [ PRINT S C R E E N ] ) to send the formatted page to the
printer.
• Note Because data is sent from home through the cursor position, the cursor
must be at the bottom of the page if the entire page is to print.
•
When you're finished printing, press [SHIFT[ [ B R E A K | (| B L O C K ] ) again to take
the terminal out of block mode.
The following illustration shows how the terminal handles data through the
printer port.
