Printing
If you have a printer server in your Econet you can print out
your work as if you had a printer attached to your machine.
Type:
*PS[RETURN]
You may have to specify the printer server you want to use. You
will have to do this if your network has more than one printer
server, or if your printer server has a different station number
from the one Econet expects. You specify a printer server by
typing in, straight after *PS, the station number of the printer
server you want to select. Your network manager will tell you
what the correct station number is.
Type:
*PS <printer server number>[RETURN]
The first time you use the printer server after switching on or
resetting your station, the computer needs to know that you want
to send your work to the printer server, not a printer attached
directly to your station.
Type:
*FX5,4[RETURN]
to use the printer server. You will have to do this again if
you reset your machine.
When you are ready to print out your work
press:
[CTRL]B
or type:
VDU 2[RETURN]
The network manager may have set up the printer server to print
some special text at the beginning and end of each user's work.
This is called header and footer text.
The printer will print any header text, followed by anything
written to your screen after you pressed [CTRL]B.
