The screen dump feature allows you to temporarily exit from the program
you are working on to print all or part of the text or graphics that are
currently on the display screen.
Screen dump provides four different options to allow maximum flexibility
in printing and to support a large variety of printer types. These
options are as follows:
Quick Text
Text Only
Graphics Only
Entire Screen
This option works with most any printer and is the
fastest method for printing straight text without
graphics, screen attributes, or alternate character
sets. Only ASCII characters are printed. Graphics
characters and screen attributes are ignored.
Alternate character sets are represented as asterisks.
This option works with any of the printers identified •
in the Install option on Valet's Main r-1enu. All ASCII
