Printing A Document.      5.1     Overview.      Documents written with KeyWord may be printed.  A printer driver,     appropriate to the printer, ensures that attributes such as bold,     underline, and italics, are handled correctly. KeySoft supports     both serial and parallel printers.     	 5.2     The Print Option.  
    To print a document, select the "Print a File" option from the     KeyWord Menu.  
            KeySoft prompts:  "Print or Set Up?"      The Print option leads to a series of prompts to select and print     a file.  The Set Up option lets you match Keynote to the printer.      5.3     Printing a Document.      At the "Print or Set Up?" prompt, press "P"  if you wish to print     a document.                  KeySoft prompts:  "File name?      Select the required file, then press ENTER.  If a file from a     different directory is required, press CONTROL with D, and reply     to the prompts for drive, directory and file name.               KeySoft prompts:  "Printer Ready?"       Press Y, (for Yes), if you want to print just one copy of the    ! whole document.  The document will then be printed, and you will    " then be returned to the KeyWord menu.  #   $ Press N, (for No), at the "Printer Ready?" prompt if you want to    % change any of the three printing options.  &   '  KeySoft prompts:  "Start page number?  Currently first page"  (   ) Enter the page number to start printing from, and press ENTER.    * The default setting is the first page.  To check the page number    + range for the document, press the HELP key.  ,   -     KeySoft prompts:  "Finish page number?  Currently last page"    Enter the page number to finish printing at and press ENTER. The    default setting is the last page.    KeySoft prompts:  "Number of copies?  Currently one"    Enter the number of copies you require and press ENTER.  The    default setting is one. 	  
          KeySoft prompts:  "Printer Ready?"    Press Y to proceed and print the file.  The printer should start   
 immediately.    If you need to pause the printing at any time, press the SPACE    bar.  KeySoft will announce: "Printing Paused".  To restart    printing, press the SPACE bar again.  If you press ESCAPE while    printing is paused, printing will be abandoned and you will be    returned to the KeyWord menu.    Before printing the first document after switching on your    computer, it is a good idea to turn the printer off, then on    again at the "Printer Ready?" prompt.  This clears the printer's    memory and avoids spurious characters at the top of the page.    If a serial printer prints random characters or nothing at all,    the communications parameters are wrongly set.   These can be    changed from the Printer Set Up List.  This list is explained in    Section 5.5.    5.4     Printing a Group of Documents.    ! You may wish to print all files with a certain group of   " characters in the filename.  To accomplish this, wild card   # characters can be included in the filename.  (Refer to Section   $ 4.8 for details of wild card use.)  As an example, entering the   % filename "NOTES?" would cause all the following three files to be   & printed: '  ( NOTES1 ) NOTES2 * NOTES3 +  , There is another way to specify a group of files, if you have   - grouped similar files in a sub-directory.  For instance, if the   . previous files had been grouped in a directory called LECTURE,   / they could all be printed by selecting this directory at the   0 "Directory Name?" prompt, then entering the filename *. 1  2    5.5     The Printer Set-Up List.    This is a list of parameters which defines the interface to be    used for printing, certain layout options, and the selection of a    particular printer model.  If you plan to use a printer with a    serial interface, you will need to know its serial communications    parameters before completing the setup.    Press S at the "Print or Set-Up?" prompt to make changes to   	 printer settings. 
         KeySoft prompts:  "Printer Set-Up List"   
 The Printer Set-Up List is a list of printer settings arranged    like a menu.  You can move along the list with the RIGHT ARROW or    back with the LEFT ARROW.  You can change settings by entering an    appropriate new setting and pressing ENTER. Pressing an ARROW key    without entering a new value leaves the original value unchanged,    and moves to the next.    Press the RIGHT ARROW key.       KeySoft prompts:  "Printer Port?  Currently (parallel 1)"    The options here are P to select the parallel printer port, or S    for the serial port, followed by the port number.    5.5.1   Parallel Printer Option.    If you plan to use a printer connected to a parallel interface on    your computer, type "P" at the "Printer port?" prompt, followed    by the port number, and then press ENTER.  For example, type "P1"     to select LPT1.  Valid port numbers are 1, 2, 3, and 4.  The   ! number may represent a physical port on your computer, a network   " printer, or a printer attached to another computer and accessed   # through Interlink, as described in Chapter 11. $  % To leave the printer port unchanged, press RIGHT ARROW to move   & on. '  (   KeySoft prompts:  "Page Offset?  Currently (8)" )  * This defines the position of the left margin of the printing in   + columns from the left edge of the paper.   It is like an overall   , left margin which affects all printing.  The default setting is   - 8.  Values from 1 to 50 are allowable.  A value of 10 corresponds   . to 1 inch. /  0 Enter a new value and press ENTER or press RIGHT ARROW key to   1 move on. 2      KeySoft prompts:  "Pause after each page?  Currently (on)"    Options here are N to turn pause on or F to turn it off. Select N    if you are printing on single sheets.  This causes printing to    pause at the end of each page.   You must then press ENTER when    you have changed the paper.  Select F if your printer has a paper    bin, or you are using continuous fan-fold paper.    Enter a new setting and press ENTER, or press RIGHT ARROW to move   	 on. 
       KeySoft prompts:  "Printer type currently (standard).                               Change?" 
   At this point you may either choose to retain the currently    selected printer driver, or select another driver from the    available list.  Press RIGHT ARROW if you don't wish to change    the Printer Type.              KeySoft prompts:  "End of List"    You can use the LEFT ARROW key to move back along the list to    check all values.  Press ESCAPE key when you have finished    reviewing the printer settings.  If you have made changes,            KeySoft prompts:  "Confirm changes?"    Press Y to confirm you wish to adopt the new settings or press N    to revert to the original settings.            KeySoft prompts:  "Print or Set-Up?"     Refer now to Section 5.3. !  " If you do wish to change the printer type, at the prompt:   # "Printer type currently (standard). Change?", press Y, then ENTER  $  %  KeySoft prompts:  "Load printer file from drive? Press ENTER &                        for C" '  ( Press ENTER. )  *      KeySoft prompts:  "Directory name?  Press ENTER for +                  \keynote\printers" ,  - Press ENTER to confirm the directory, or select the required   . directory. /  0          KeySoft prompts:  "Printer Name?" 1  2    Select a printer name in the same way as choosing a filename from    disk, by typing the name and pressing ENTER, or by using the    ARROW keys to move along the directory and pressing ENTER to make    a selection.  Printer Type files are included in the    sub-directory titled "c:\keynote\printers".              KeySoft prompts:  "End of List"    The printer type selection determines how the type style commands   	 embedded in your text will be translated for the printer.  The   
 "standard" option is programmed into KeySoft and this option is    suitable for virtually any printer if you do not require any    special type styles. 
   KeySoft includes translation programs for a range of popular    printers.  Appendix C contains a list of printers supported. If    you have a printer model which is not included with KeySoft,    there is still a good chance of it printing special type styles    correctly if you load the Epson Enhanced driver, as many printer    models are compatible with this.    After completing the changes, you can use LEFT ARROW to move back    along the list to check all values.  Press ESCAPE when you have    finished reviewing the printer settings.  If you have made    changes,            KeySoft prompts:  "Confirm changes?"    Press Y to confirm you wish to adopt the new settings, or press N    to revert to the original settings.            KeySoft prompts:  "Print or Set Up?"    ! All the set-up parameters, including the printer driver, are now   " saved.  Refer now to Section 5.3. #  $ 5.5.2   Serial Printer Option. %  & If you plan to use a printer connected to a serial port on your   ' computer, type "S" at the "Printer Port?" prompt, followed by the   ( port number, and press ENTER.  For example, type "S1" to select   ) COM1.  Valid port numbers are 1, 2, 3, and 4.  To leave the port   * number unchanged, press RIGHT ARROW to move on. +  ,            KeySoft prompts: "Baud rate?" -  . Type one of the standard baud rates, or press SPACE to cycle   / through the available rates, followed by ENTER, or press RIGHT   0 ARROW to move on. 1  2                 KeySoft prompts: "Parity?"    You may press "N", "E" or "O", for None, Even or Odd parity    respectively, followed by ENTER, or press RIGHT ARROW to move on.          KeySoft prompts:  "Number of data bits?"    The options here are 7 or 8, followed by ENTER, or press RIGHT    ARROW to move on. 	  
  KeySoft prompts: "Handshaking? Currently software"    Responses are "S" for software handshaking, "H" for hardware.   
 This setting determines the way in which the printer will    instruct KeySoft to start and stop the flow of data.  Software    handshaking is sometimes known as XON/XOFF handshaking.    Type a new setting and press ENTER, or press RIGHT ARROW to move    on.        KeySoft prompts:  "Page offset?
