Print Screen

This enables you to produce a hardcopy of data displayed on the screen. The Print Screen dialog box will be displayed when a printer handled by the Print Manager is selected in the Printer Setup dialog box.

The Text option is selected by default and the printer resolution and scaling options are not accessible. Clicking the OK button with Text selected will cause a fast print of the screen using Unicode.

Selecting Graphics will print all the data in the emulation workspace, both graphics and text, when the OK button is clicked. The hardcopy output will be an almost exact representation of the emulation workspace. Note that a graphics print will take a lot longer than a text print.

The Use Printer Resolution option is available when Graphics print is selected. This will force a dot for dot print of the screen on the printer and generally produces a small print, depending on the printer resolution. When this option is not selected (unchecked), the emulator will try and print as large an image as possible on the printer's paper. Both methods can print in landscape or portrait format, depending on the current setup of the printer.

Selecting the Auto Wrap option will cause the printer to automatically move to the beginning of the next line when the right margin is reached.

The Centre Image on Paper option is available when Graphics print is selected. This will ensure that the graphics image is printed centrally on the paper.

The Scaling option is available when Graphics print is selected. This enables the image to be scaled to suit your preference. When the Use Printer Resolution option is selected, you can scale the image up, and when unselected you can scale the image down. (Scaling up when Use Printer Resolution is not selected may result in loss of some of the image.)

The Graphics Image option is available when Graphics print is selected. This enables you to specify how the graphics image is to be printed. Clicking the arrow button next to the text box will cause four print options to be displayed. These options allow you to print the graphics image as displayed (Normal by default), with black and white
