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

The PRINTER DIALOG provides the following options:

     Print the whole or just  the selection of a  text
      window

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

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

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

     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.

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

EXAMPLE.  Your chain paper-based  matrix printer has  a
condensed  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.
