HOW TO COPY FROM A HOST
HOW TO COPY FROM A HOST TO A PERIPHERAL
DEVICE
You can send text or
graphics
directly from the
host
to a
peripheral
device,
without
displaying the
image
on the terminal screen
.
This is convenient for sending
program listings from the host to a monochrome copier or sending graphics from
the host to the
Rasterizer.
To route a copy from the host directly to a peripheral device, follow these steps
.
1.
Make
sure the terminal
is
connected to the host and to the peripheral, and
both are powered on.
(Appendix
A tells you how to install and prepare your
peripherals for
use.)
2.
Before entering Setup
,
type whatever command the host requires to send text
to the terminal, but do not type the key the host needs to terminate the
command - usually the Return
key.
3.
Enter Setup.
4.
Type in the COPY command and the desired destination. For example, this
command would send data from
the
host to a device connected to the
COPIER port:
COPY HO:,TO,HC:
(Be
sure to press the Return
key
to
terminate
this command
.)
If you are sending the host data to a device connected to PORTO or PORT
1,
substitute
PO:
or
P1
:
for
HC:
in
the
command.
4.
Exit
Setup.
5.
Now terminate the host command you entered in
Step
2.
NOTE
Because the terminal does not process the
data,
it is the responsibility
of the host to
send it in
a
format acceptable to the receiving
peripheral.
To avoid switching in
and
out of Setup to enter the commands for copying directly
from the
host,
you can program a
key
to simplify the process
.
Refer
to
Host
Copy
Macro
later in this section for the procedure
.
