Quick ASCII  printing can  be  done directly  from  the
Editress, by selecting PRINT from the FILE menu (^P).

The PRINTER DIALOG provides the following options:

   ù  Print the whole or just  the selection of a  text
      window

   ù  Choose a text window to print text from
   
   ù  The number of copies
   
   ù  One- or two-column output
   
   ù  The height and width of  a column of text on  the
      printer in character cells.

   ù  The top and bottom margins in the number of lines
      from the top of the page.

   ù  The left margin in horizontal character cells
   
   ù  The middle margin in horizontal cells between the
      columns, for two-column output.

   ù  Page header on/off.  A  page header is one  extra
      line at  the top  of a  page showing  file  name,
      time, date and page number.

   ù  The option to  use form  feed or  a fixed  bottom
      margin.

EXAMPLE.  Your chain paper-based  matrix printer has  a
small character set.  With this set, a page contains 66
lines and 164 characters per line.  For printing a text
in two-column  format  without form  feeds, choose  the
following values:

   Column height 60, width 78
   Margins: top 3, bottom 2, left: 4, middle: 4
   Form feeds off, page header on.

   (1 + 3 + 2 + 60 = 66, 4 + 4 + 2 * 78 = 164)


** form feeds and  bottom margin are  only sent to  the
   printer  BETWEEN   pages,  not  before   and   after
   printing.
