Printing Printing the contents of the screen

8.4.1 Hardcopy

You can create a screen dump of the current session on your local printer using

the Hardcopy option. The screen dump starts at the position of the BS2000 cur-

sor and encompasses all characters up to an end marker or the lower right cor-

ner of the screen.

Hardcopy output can be initiated either by the user or the host application. Star-

ting the print job with a key is referred to as a “manual hardcopy”. One of

the keys is the default key for outputting hardcopies. You can use the Key-

board Mappings list to determine the keys on your PC keyboard that are assigned

to these functions.

Ê Position the cursor at the location on the screen to be used as a starting

point for printing the data.

Ê If necessary, check the settings for redirecting printing (in the Configuration:

Peripherals:Print Redirection menu.

Ê Press, for example, the key.

PDEV1 is displayed in the status line for the duration of the print job.

8.4.2 Printing the whole screen

MT9750 includes a function that you can use to make a hardcopy of the whole

screen contents regardless of the position of the cursor. You can find the

function in the Session: Print Screen menu.

Once you have selected this item, the screen contents are copied to the local

printer and output there in the same way as manual hardcopy. The tasks carried

out under Configuration: Peripherals:Print Redirection also take effect here.

The function can also be executed using the mouse. To do this, click on the prin-

ter symbol in the toolbar. You can also use the keyboard mapping program to

map the BSD function to a key.
