Message Printout

[Ebeau97]

I have a Nec 2400 IMG and it printout the commands I enter every 30 seconds. Is ther a way to space them out a little more. Or is there a way to send the messages to the hard drive instead of the printer?

The old mat programme is DOS based and if you search you may still be able to find a printer redirection programme. Thats what we use and it just redirects the printer output to a file on the hard drive. Unfortunately it's been so long since I installed it I've forgotten what it was called. I'll see if I can find out though.

The program is called "Print to File" It may be listed on the web as "P2F.exe" I have a copy of it if you need it, I would just need e-mail to send it to.

Thanks you guys. My first post and it worked. I'm kindda new to all of these. I would love to get that file. Is there a way to swap email's without putting it on the post. Once again thanks. This is only one of many questions I will have. Hope to be able to help you guys down the road too.

A few programs on these pages support printing, but have no "save to file" option. PRN2FILE is a TSR that provides a means of redirecting print jobs to file(s).

Usage (v1.1): PRN2FILE dath:filename.ext [/Pn] [/Bn] [/U]
Run PRN2FILE with the desired filename to activate it.
Run it again with no filename to turn off redirection.
Run it with a different filename to change destination file.
/P to designate the printer number (defaults to 1)
/B to enter buffer size in K bytes (defaults to 4)
/F to print just to file and not to printer (default is both)
/A to append to file (default is to create new file)
/U to uninstall the program
Versions: This util has gone through 3-4 revisions by different authors. PC Magazine's original v1.0 (1987), by Tom Kihlken, is still around. The latest, and recommended, v1.1 (1992) by John Durso, adds reminder beeps to indicate that prn2file is working (note that the docs omit discussion of some switches – the listing above is from the included source code). V1.1 is derived from two prior independent revisions, by Mel Brown (1989) and Russell Cummings (1991).
