Command
Type
Purpose
The PRINT utility prints a single Þle or a list of Þles.
Syntax
PRINT [ /d :] [ filename ] [/ options ]
Remarks
PRINT allows you to enter between 1 and 32 Þles for spooling to the printer. The
Þles are output to the device in a spooled manner (while the user performs other
operations).
If PRINT is entered without any parameters, then it displays all the Þles that are in
the queue.
The Þrst time PRINT is used the operator is prompted for the device to perform the
operation. The following message is used to prompt the operator for the device.
Name of list device [PRN]:
The legal devices for printing are LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, COM1, COM2, COM3,
COM4, AUX, or PRN.
Options
The /B option allows the user to set the buffer size. The default buffer size is 512
bytes. A larger buffer size causes print to operate faster. The maximum buffer size
is 32k bytes and the minimum size 256 bytes. This option is only allowed the Þrst
time PRINT is run.
The /C option cancels only the Þle names listed after the /C command.
The /F option allows the user to set the maximum number of Þles to be queued up
at one time. The default number of Þles is 10. The minimum is 2 and the maximum
is 32. Support for more Þles is often useful when using wild cards in Þle names.
