This section provides instructions on how to set up your PC to work

with Print Master with respect to the BayTech software (if you intend

to use it) and special considerations when connecting your PC in

serial.

If you intend to use the RAMEXEC or RAMTSR hot key programs to

select between multiple peripherals, you would typically add the

command

C:>RAMEXEC

C:>RAMTSR

to your PC's

AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The subdirectory created by running the

INSTALL program should be included in the PATH command. If

using the WNDEXEC program for Microsoft Windows, you should

follow the step by step instructions in the README file created by

running the INSTALL program. Please see

Section 4.2

for INSTALL

instructions.

NOTE:

All users that wish to use the hot key software should have a

copy of the program on their PC's hard drive. You may copy

RAMEXEC (or RAMTSR) from a PC that has already configured this

program using SETUP (or SETUPCFG) onto other PCs.

If connecting your PC to Print Master in serial, you would typically

reroute the parallel output to the serial port via the DOS command

C:>MODE LPTx:=COMy:

, where x=1, 2, or 3 and y=1 or 2. This

command should be included in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. If you

have a local parallel printer connected to your PC, you would not

include this command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Instead, you

would have your applications software direct output to LPTx to print to

the local printer or COMy to send print jobs to Print Master.

NOTE:

If you have a local parallel printer connected to your PC and

you wish to use RAMEXEC (or RAMTSR), set up the local printer to

use LPT1 and RAMEXEC (or RAMTSR) to use LPT2. Then, you

would add the command

MODE LPT2:=COMy:

to your

AUTOEXEC.BAT file (where y = 1 or 2).

1 2 ... 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 ... 122 123
