 Command:  Print/Weaving                          < PW > 
 Purpose:  Print the Weaving in the selected printer mode
 Information:
     This is the primary printing function.  It creates a printed
     pattern draft section using the current Range and Mode
     settings.  
     
     In Text-Data mode, warp or weft data is shown if it is turned 
     ON through Options/Data.  Print/Text Options determine other 
     characteristics of the printout; three of the switches are 
     duplicated under Display/Modes for convenience. The 
     arrangement of data is controlled by Options/Format. 
     
     In graphics modes, weave data is printed as blocks.  If 
     Print/Graphics Options/Zoom is not zero, the current 
     Print/Horizontal-Vertical magnification factors are used.  
     Because printer graphics often have unequal horizontal to 
     vertical ratios, some graphics modes require a different 
     horizontal and vertical magnification factor to produce 
     blocks that appear square.  See the main Help menu on 
     Dot Matrix or Laserjet printers for details. 

     Thread Variable Magnification ON provides an additional 
     sizing factor applied individually to each warp and weft 
     thread based on its Symbol number. 
     
     Display/Color Weave determines if single or multiple colors 
     are available.  If color printing is ON but Color Weave is 
     OFF, the printout will be produced in the current Single 
     Warp and Weft Colors.
 Comments: 
     Print/Range/Weaving is identical to Print/Weaving except 
     it allows you to set the Range.  Subsequently, you can use 
     Print/Weaving until you want to reset the Range again.

 Command:  Print/Design                         < PD > 
 Purpose:  Print the Design in the selected printer mode
 Information:
     This feature works identically to Print/Weaving except 
     that Color Mix printing uses a mixed color for the number  
     lines if they are selected with Options/Data/Number line.
 Comments: 
     Color and graphics modes design printouts were a major 
     new enhancement for Weave Simulator 4.11.
     
     The Single Weft symbol is used for the background symbol
     in B&W and 7-color text mode printing.  Mixed Color text
     mode printing always uses a space for the background.
         
     The capabilities of Weave Simulator in printing text and
     graphics designs are now identical to Patternland Pattern 
     grapher.

     Print/Range/Design is identical to Print/Design except 
     it allows you to set the Range.  Subsequently, you can use 
     Print/Design until you want to reset the Range again.

 Command:  Print/Range                          < PR > 
 Purpose:  Menu--Change ranges and print weaving or design.
 Information:
     Ranges are NOT the SIZE of a weaving or design--they are 
     simply a way of identifying a section of weaving or design. 
     You can also alter ranges through Edit/Range and 
     Display/Range. 
 Comments: 
     A weaving can print continuously all weft rows; however, the 
     number of warp threads printed is limited by the size of the 
     paper and the graphics mode selected.  Use Print/Range to 
     select several warp sections to print large weavings.

 Command:  Print/Range/Weaving                  < PRW > 
 Purpose:  Change warp and weft ranges and print weaving.
 Information:
     Warp and Weft range windows are presented for input before 
     Print/Weaving is called. 

     Allowable range is limited by current warp and weft limit.  
 Comments: 
     Use Edit/Warp-Weft/Size to change actual weaving size. 

     Normally, the range will equal the weaving size.

 Command:  Print/Range/Design                   < PRD > 
 Purpose:  Change row and column ranges and print design.
 Information:
     Design Row and Column Range windows are presented for input 
     before Print/Design is called. 
 Comments: 
     Use Edit/Design/Size to change actual design size.

 Command:  Print/Setup                          < PS > 
 Purpose:  Menu--Provide options to control printer status.
 Information:
     Each time a printer is powered on, it reverts to its built 
     in, "default," settings.  This and an additional menu allow 
     you to change line feed and other settings and to set up a 
     "recording" that will do that automatically. 
 Comments: 
     Graphics modes printing usually does not require any setup.

     Text-Data printing is usually best when using a downloadable 
     character to print square blocks and the line feed is 
     reduced to 10 lines per inch.

 Command:  Print/Color Palette Mixer            < PC > 
 Purpose:  Comprehensive color printing palette editor
 Information:
     Patternland provides two types of color printing under 
     Print/Modes:  7-Color and Color Mix.  The Color Palette 
     Mixer is where you create the Color Mix for Color Mix 
     Printing.

     If you alter the VGA/EGA video palette, you will probably 
     want to create a corresponding printer palette.

     Printed colors are created from the Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, 
     Black ribbon.  Each band can overstrike in 5 intensities: 
     0-4 strikes of the ribbon.  Five intensities raised to the 
     power of four ribbon bands yields 625 possible colors.
     In practice, only the first 250 or so are usable, since 
     adding more than one strike of black to other color mixes 
     produces basically black.
     
     If Color Weave is ON, the Palette Mixer screen shifts to the 
     Weaving Video Palette before displaying colors 1 to 16; in 
     this way you can approximate printer colors while viewing 
     your current video colors.

 Comments:
     Sample printouts of 250 colors and of the current mix are 
     also available, along with filing options duplicated from 
     the File menu.

 Command:  Print/Modes                          < PM > 
 Purpose:  Menu--Control printing modes switches
 Information:
     These switches determine what printer mode is used and what 
     Patternland printing method is employed.
     
     Text-Data mode is available to all types of printer.
       
     Graphics modes require a supported B&W or color graphics 
     printer.
 Comments: 
     Text-Data is the only mode that shows numeric warp and weft 
     data.  Graphics modes show the data as blocks only. 

 See Also:  Print/Modes/all options.
 _______________________________________________________________

 
 Command:  Print/Graphics Options               < PG > 
 Purpose:  Menu--Change graphics printing options settings.
 Information:
     The graphics options settings have no affect on Text-Data 
     mode prints.

     One option, Thread Variable Magnification, affects both 
     display and printer graphics; the rest affect only print 
     graphics.
 Comments: 
     Graphics options are saved in the configuation and all other 
     weaving files.

 Command:  Print/Text Options                   < PT > 
 Purpose:  Menu--Change text options switches.
 Information:
     The text options settings have no affect on graphics 
     mode prints.

     Three switches--Draw-Down, Warp Multi-Symbol, and Weft 
     Multi-Symbol--affect text mode displays and are duplicated 
     under Display/Text Options. 

     Graphpaper Background requires a graphics printer.
 Comments: 
     Text options are saved in the configuation and all other 
     weaving files.

 Command:  Print/Output to:  Printer/File       < PO > 
 Purpose:  Switch--Control destination of print command.
 Information:
     Normally, one prints to the printer.

     If the destination is set to File, you must provide a 
     filename each time you print, and a disk file is created 
     identical to the data stream which would have been sent to 
     the printer.  You can print the resulting ".PTX" file at a 
     later time without using Patternland.

     Printing to a file requires a great deal of disk space for 
     color graphics especially.  A hard disk is desirable.

     To print the file later, use the DOS COPY command with the 
     /B (for binary) switch and copy to the printer:

                  Copy [filename].PTX /b prn
 Comments: 
     You can usually print .PTX files with the DOS PRINT spooler 
     also; this allows queing-up 10 files for printing while you 
     continue to work in Patternland.  Print.Com must be on an 
     available path:  Print [filename].PTX.   If a graphics file 
     doesn't print properly, use the Copy /b command described 
     above.

     Another example for this feature is to load a driver for a 
     printer at a different location, print to a file, and take 
     the output file to the other location.  You don't need a 
     copy of Patternland on the second computer to print the 
     file. 

     PC-Write can include a .PTX print output file using the 
     .TI:[filename] command to include a graphics file.  You may 
     also need to use the .TT:nnn command to send margin setup 
     strings to PC-Write.  Patternland can set the margin for 
     you with the Printer Recorder, so the graphic would be 
     centered on the page, but you must use PC-Write's 
     .TT: command to reset the margin so the rest of the document 
     prints correctly.  You could alternatively create a 
     blank weaving with a Printer Recorder margin setup to reset 
     the printer margin to 0, print it to a .PTX file too, 
     and include it in PC-Write with a second .TI: command after 
     the weaving file.  A round about way, but it would work.  A 
     quick consultation with your printer's manual could tell you 
     the ASCII codes necessary to set its margin, as would 
     reading the LMG option of Patternland's printer driver for 
     your printer.
