System requirements: Apple ][, ][+, //e or //c, & a Dot-Matrix Printer.
Overview:
Triple-Dump is a Screen-Dump utility that can print three different
forms of media. Hi-Res & Double Hi-Res Graphics (1), Lo-Res & Double
Lo-Res graphics (2), & Text screens - 40 or 80 colomn (3). What makes
Triple-Dump so unique is that it is the only Screen-Dump that can
print Double Lo & Hi-Res graphics as well as 80 Colomn text screens.
This is why it is called: "The Print Anything Program".
Configuration:
After you are in the Triple-Dump program, the first thing you must do
is to configure the disk for you computer. By using the left and right
arrow keys, move the HI-LIGHTED bar to the selection: Change printer,
and press RETURN. The list of the different printers supported will
be loaded and displayed on the screen. Again using the arrow keys,
select you printer. With the same method, select your printer
interface. Set the Printer-Delay & Paper-width to the accurate
positions for your printer. Set the Slot # of your Printer-card, and
select if you need Line-feed or not. Then SAVE PRINTER CONFIGURATION
so that the same set-up is loaded each time the program is run.
The Program:
The first thing to do is to select the form of media you wish to
print-out. Move the HI-LIGHTED bar to: Current Set-Up. Each time you
press return, a different form of media to be printed will appear.
Continue pressing RETURN until you get the desired media.
Move the Hi-Lighted bar to: Load Picture, and press RETURN. A catalog
of the current disk in use will be displayed on the screen. According
to the currend form of media in use, you can load up a picture (or
text screen) from the disk (Triple-Dump will tell you if you make a
mistake in the form of picture you try to load). The Program will load
the picture in, and then you will be back at the main menu.
Move the bar to: Crop Picture. This section will let you select a
specific part of the picture you want to print out (if you want to
print out the whole picture, skip this section). There will be a
flashing box arround the outer perimeter of the picture, by using the
arrow keys, you can adjust the area on the screen you want to print
out (you can hit "," & "." to move the box quickly).
To change the Left margin hit "L", then you can adjust the Left side
margin.
To change the Right margin hit "R", then you can adjust the Right side
margin.
To adjust the Top margin hit "T", etc...
To adjust the Bottom, hit "B", etc...
When you have "Cropped" the desired portion of the picture to print
out, hit RETURN to return to the menu.
Special Function keys from main menu: At the main menu, by hitting
<Space bar>, you will be displayed the current picture, hit <Space
bar> again to return. Press "L" to get a line feed, "F" for a
form-feed. At the main menu, hit <ESC> to exit the program.
If you have 2 drives, you may run the program from Drive 2 by changing
the disk drive #.
Special printing Features:
Rotate: This feature lets you rotate the part of the picture that you
cropped so that it appears on paper in a way in which it is desired
to. By hitting RETURN, you can change between: 0 - 90 - 180 - 270
degrees of rotation, choose the one that is best for you picture.
Indent: Changes the number of pixles, blocks or characters (acording
the current media being processed) "Indented" from the left of the
printer paper to the left margin of the media being printed.
Negative: You may decide that you want to have the section of the
picture that you want to print out inverted (white on black, instead
of black on white). If this is the case, you may select this
feature.
Magnify x - Magnify y: This feature lets you enlarge the section of
the picture you want to print out to any size you want, as long as it
fits on your printer paper. Use this feacture along with Rotation to
fit the picture on your paper.
Density: You can set the density of the Print-out at: 60H, 66V -or-
66H, 66V. this changes the number of pixles per inch. Higher density
makes a denser smaller picture, lower makes a larger - less dense
picture.
