It is often helpful to direct printed output to a file rather
then directly to Print Manager or the DocuMatch system.
You can examine the file to help diagnose printing prob-
lems. You can also use this technique to test an application
for DocuMatch compatibility. By installing the DocuMatch
driver on a PC that has the application under test installed,
you can do a trial print to a file and then send the file to
another PC that has a DocuMatch and print it there.
In Windows 3.1:
1. From the Windows Control Panel, double-click on
Printers.
2. Highlight Pitney Bowes DocuMatch, and then click on
Connect. One of the choices, usually toward the bottom
of the list, will be FILE:. If you highlight this selection
and click on OK, the system will prompt you for a file
name each time you print on the DocuMatch. To
change it back, return to Control Panel/Printers/Con-
nect and choose the normal port (usually LPT1:).
In Windows 95:
1. Click on Start/Settings/Printers.
2. Right-click on DocuMatch.
3. Click on Properties and then Details.
4. Click on the arrow to open the selection list under Print
to the following port and choose FILE: With this selec-
tion, you will be prompted for a file name each time you
print on the DocuMatch. To change the selection back,
repeat the process but select the original port (usually
LPT1:).
