The HELLO program guides us through the actual process of printing the pictures. It’s completely self-explanatory (as every confusing technical book says), but here’s some step-by-step guidance.

WHAT IS THE FILENAME OF THE PICTURE

?

The program is asking for the NAME of the picture we want to print. Let’s try:

PORTRAIT

The computer reports:

LOADING PICTURE

then

IS THIS THE CORRECT PICTURE (Y/N);

?

flashes before our very eyes. We type:

Y<RETURN>

It wants to know more:

WHAT SIZE? (R=REGULAR L=LARGE)?

Oh, regular size is fine:

R<RETURN>

Still more options, so the next query is:

NORMAL(N) OR REVERSE(R)?

This can be a bit confusing. NORMAL prints every white dot on the screen as a black dot on the white paper. This IS what we “normally” think of as “normal” printing. If we want the picture to appear with a black background, exactly as it appears on the screen, we request REVERSE. Got that?
