The QSYS documentation is provided in several files. This may seem a bit strange at first, but really, there's a very good reason. Most printers available for personal computers are not designed to withstand continuous duty. I found this to be true with my own printer. It seems that the heat associated with extremely lengthy print jobs has a very adverse effect on printheads. For this reason, I thought it appropriate to provide the documentation file in the form of several smaller files. There is also a provision for combining the files into one large file, or to print all of the smaller files at once, for those of you who feel that your printer is up the task. If in doubt, assume that your printer is only as good as mine was. Regardless of which of the following methods you decide to use for printing the documentation, a few things are assumed. Each page of the documentation is 66 lines long. This means that on standard 8.5" x 11" forms, at 6 lines/inch, each page will finish at top-of-form, it it started at top-of-form. The documentation files all have an extension of '.DOC ', and are on the QSYS DOCUMENTATION diskette in the order in which they should be printed and assembled. - Light-Duty Printers: Use the 'COPY ' command to print each '.DOC ' file. For example, the command 'COPY Q_TITLE.DOC LPT1: ', would print the first file to a printer connected to the first parallel port. The 'PRINT ' command could also be used, but since the spooler outputs a top-of-form at the end of each file, a blank page would be ejected after each file that was printed. - Continuous-Duty Printers A batch file named 'MAKEDOC.BAT ' is provided for combining the documentation files, or for printing all of the files at once. This batch file uses two parameters. The first parameter tells MAKEDOC where the QSYS documentation files can be found, and the second parameter tells MAKEDOC where to output them. Enter the command in the following format. d:MAKEDOC parm1 parm2 d: - The drive in which QSYS DOCUMENTATION is inserted, if not the default drive. parm1 - The drive in which QSYS DOCUMENTATION is inserted. Must be specified if not the default drive, or if parm2 is specified. parm2 - The output device or file specification to which the combined QSYS documentation files will be copied. Any valid device name, such as 'LPT1: ' or 'COM1: ' may be specified. May also be a file specification, including drive, path, and filename. This parameter defaults to 'd:QSYS.DOC ' if omitted. For example, 'B:MAKEDOC B: LPT1: ' invokes MAKEDOC from drive B:, and copies all of the QSYS documentation files from drive B: to the device connected to the first parallel port. The command 'MAKEDOC ' without any parameters assumes that QSYS DOCUMENTATION is in the default drive, and copies all of the documentation files to a file named 'QSYS.DOC ' on the QSYS DOCUMENTATION diskette. The latter example would be most useful for printing the documentation file using the 'PRINT ' command. System transferred $Format another (Y/N)?$ $Invalid
