HOW TO MAKE COPIES
4.
Display on the terminal screen the information you want to
copy.
5.
Follow the instructions for copying
:
To copy the entire screen - both the dialog and graphics - press the
SCopy
key.
Host communications are suspended during a full screen copy.
• To copy the graphics
area:
a.
Press the Dialog key to make any text in the dialog area invisible
.
b.
Press the SCopy key (reversing black and white)
.
• To copy the dialog
area:
a.
Be sure the first line of the text you want to copy is displayed in the
dialog area. The terminal will send up to one page of text to the
copier,
starting with the first line displayed in the dialog
area.
b.
Press the DCopy (Shift-SCopy) key combination
.
The dialog area copy is always made with a white background
.
• To copy the contents of the dialog
buffer:
a.
Issue the HCDAATTRIBUTES command
,
which controls how much
of dialog buffer is copied and how the pages break (see the
discussion HCDAATTRIBUTES - Multi-Page Dialog Buffer Copy later
in this section)
.
b.
Press the DCopy (Shift-SCopy) key combination
.
The copy will have a white background
.
If you 're using a monochrome text-only
printer,
the only valid key to press for a
copy is the DCopy
key.
(Since you can make only dialog
copies,
pressing
SCopy generates an error message .)
Making Multiple Copies
To make multiple copies of the image or
text,
just press the key (or key
combination) once for each copy you need
.
For instance
,
to make four copies of the
entire screen
display,
press the SCopy key four times
. Or,
if you want two copies of
all the pages in the dialog
buffer,
press DCopy twice after issuing the
HCDAATTRIBUTES command (see HCDAATTRIBUTES- Multi-Page Dialog Buffer
Copy later in this section)
.
You can queue up to 32 requests
.
Reversing Black and White
You can reverse black and white on a full screen or graphics area
copy.
When you
press one of the Copy keys (SCopy or DCopy) black and white on the screen are
reversed
.
That
is,
black on the screen is not inked on the paper, and white on the
screen is inked in black - like normal typewriter
copy.
This saves black
ink.
Be
aware, however,
that all black and white in the screen image - not just the text
- will be reversed
.
Other colors are not affected.
To override the black and white reversal, hold down the Ctrl key while you press the
SCopy
key. This should be done when you have black areas of an image that must
appear black on the copy.
