Capturing Information to the Printer
The Capture Text command can direct incoming information direct¬
ly to your printer instead of saving it in a disk file. To print out
information you see on your TV or monitor screen, make sure your
printer is connected properly. Then follow the steps described in
the section on Transferring Text Files.
When you reach Step 3, the screen prompts:
File to capture:__
Instead of typing a drive number and filename, type:
P:
Then follow Steps 4 through 8 just as you would to Capture Text
to a file.
The printer will not begin printing when you press
[Start].
It will
only begin printing after you press
[Select]
to finish receiving
information.
TRANSFERRING DATA FILES: XMODEM PROTOCOL
The steps you take to send and receive files with XMODEM pro¬
tocol are similar to those you take to Upload and Capture Text.
Before you start, be sure the other system supports the XMODEM
error-checking protocol.
Follow these instructions to send and receive files with XMODEM
protocol:
1. Dial the other system. When you connect online, go to the
menu selection or area of the service or bulletin board which
is set up to transfer files.
