Printing Printing the contents of the screen
8.4 Printing the contents of the screen
If you want to output a screen dump of the current session window to the local
printer, you can choose either the hardcopy mode or the Windows Copy function
from the Edit menu.
The printer control characters carriage return (CR), line feed (LF), horizontal
tabulation (HT), backspace (BS), and form feed (FF) are used with these print
functions. Other control characters are not processed, they are output as spa-
ces.
Ensure that print output is carried out using the character set that was set for
the emulation (in accordance with the setting of the DSS Mode and Character Set
in the Configuration: Terminal Settings [DSS] menu).
If the specified country variant is not supported by the printer, it switches
to the ANSI character set and a message is displayed that the print out-
put may contain errors. This message can be suppressed if, for example,
you are satisfied with the end result. To do this, activate the Message OFF
option in the Special Parameters dialog box (accessed via Configuration:
Special Parameters: Terminal/Printer).
When using a Windows printer, the print output depends on the Windows vari-
ant used:
– in standard Windows (Western version), the ANSI character set, which is
most like the character set ISO 8859-1, is used
– in Eastern European Windows, the character set 8859-2 is mapped to the
Eastern European ANSI character set
– in Cyrillic Windows, the character set 8859-5 is mapped to the Cyrillic ANSI
character set
The print output may contain errors if an 8-bit character set other than the one
specified is used.
