PRINT.COM
This command will not function on the MX1-IS.
External Command
The PRINT command prints a single file or a list of files.
Syntax
PRINT [/drive
:]
[filenam
e] [/
option
s]
Remarks
PRINT allows you to enter between one and 32 files for spooling to the printer. The files are
output to the device in a spooled manner (while you perform other operations).
If PRINT is entered without any parameters, it displays all the files that are in the queue.
The first time PRINT is used, the user is prompted with this message for the device to perform the
operation.
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 sets the buffer size. The default buffer size is 512 bytes. A larger buffer size causes
print to operate faster. The maximum buffer size is 32KB and the minimum size is 256 bytes. This
option is only allowed the first time PRINT is run.
The
/C
option cancels only the filenames listed after the /C command.
The
/F
option sets the maximum number of files to be queued up at one time. The default number
of files is ten. The minimum is two and the maximum is 32. Support for more files is often useful
when using wildcards in filenames. This option is only allowed the first time PRINT is run (or
until the next system reboot).
The
/P
option causes all files listed after this option to be submitted for printing. This is the
default for filenames encountered on the PRINT command line.
The
/T
option cancels all the files from the print queue (list).
The
/H
option displays the help screen.
Examples
PRINT FILE1.TXT FILE2.TXT FILE3.TXT
Puts three files into the print queue. The first file prints after the command ends.
PRINT /C FILE2.TXT
Removes file FILE2.TXT from the print queue. All other files in the queue print normally.
PRINT /T
Cancels all files in the print queue. Printing may continue for a short time because of the buffer in
your printer.
