HARDCOPY; Generate one hardcopy of current graphics screen
The HARDCOPY procedure outputs the current graphics screen display to
the PRN device; normally the printer. Multiple hardcopies can be
generated by calling this procedure several times in a row. Each
hardcopy takes about 1 minute 30 seconds to produce on a PC/XT with a
dot matrix printer and about 30 seconds on a Laserjet.
Hardcopies may be aborted by pressing the ESC key. The abort will take
place as soon as the current graphics line has been output. If the
abort does not occur, or no output is generated, then the PRN device is
probably not ready.
A page eject is performed before each hardcopy is generated but not
afterward. A final page eject is performed after the algorithm has
completed execution.
The same hardcopy output can be generated during a PAUSE by pressing
the F2 key.
HARDCOPY statements should not be grouped with other statements.
