Remember you will
have
to enter
the
complete
name
to
copy the
program. The
message
1 file
copied
will
appear
on
your display
if
you have
successfully
copied
the
file.
How
to Use
the Screen
Copy
Program
When
your DOS
system
is
operational,
you can
either type
in the
name (PRT3S52A
in
the
preceding
example
because
you
had either
a
color
graphics
adapter
card
or
a
monochrome
adapter
card) you
selected
based
on
your
own
situation
each
time you
bring up
DOS;
or,
you
can
include
the
program
name
in
your
Autoexec to
automatically
invoke
it
each
time
you bring
up
DOS.
Your DOS
book will
explain
how to
invoke
a
program
using
an
AUTOEXEC.BAT.
When what
you
see
on
the
display
is
what you
want
to
print
on
your printer,
do
the
following:
.
Hold
the
shift
key
down
.
Press
the
PRTSC
or
PRINT
key
This
will
print
the
display
screen
on
your
printer.
Note:
Printing
a
graphics
display
will
take
longer
than printing
a
text
display.
This
publication
contains
instructions
to
help
you
start
using your
new
IBM
Color Jetprinter.
Your
new
color
printer
is
a
convenient
workstation
printer
that
is
compact,
quiet,
reliable
and
easy
to
operate.
A
special text print
resolution
function,
along with
two
character
sets, gives
you
both near
letter quality
and
draft
printing
options.
The printer
prints
an eight
inch writing
line
on
8-1/2
inch
paper.
It
is
capable
of
printing
text, both normal
and
condensed,
and graphics
in
seven colors
on
cut
sheet
paper,
roll
paper,
continuous
form
pin feed
paper,
and transparencies.
The
Color
Jetprinter
uses
two
ink cartridges,
a
completely
sealed system
to
supply
the
ink,
and
a
mechanism
to cap
the ink
nozzles
and
prevent
them from
being
clogged.
These features
provide
the technical
basis
for
the
reliability
of
the
printer.
The low
cost
IBM
Color
Jetprinter
provides
output
in
color. Software
is
supplied
which
allows
the information
displayed
on
a
workstation
with
a
color
display
to be printed in
color.
To
ensure
the
best
results,
read
this
manual
carefully
and keep
it
handy for
future reference.
As
you
learn
to use your printer,
you will
find
ASCII
code charts
a
valuable
tool
for
accessing
the
many
control,
graphic, and special
character
set codes.

For
Assistance
If you
have
problems
with
the printer,
refer to
Section
4,
“Problem
Determination Procedures
(PDPs)” on
page 4-1 for
assistance.
If
you need
additional help
with setup or
operation,
contact
your place
of purchase.
Safety
Guidelines
• Keep hair
and
personal articles
out
of
the
printing area
when
the printer
is on to
prevent
getting
them
caught
in the machine.
Be sure
to comply
with this warning
and ask
others
to do so.
• The
Color
Jetprinter
incorporates
Class 1
construction
as
defined
by
the International
Electrotechnical
Commission Publication
380,
“Safety
of
Electrically
Energized
Office
Machines”
(except
in Japan),
and
other
national
standards.
Class 1
construction
provides
protection
against
electric shock
through
the
use
of
protective grounding
of
accessible metal parts
of the
machine.
The Color
Jetprinter
is equipped
with a
grounding
type (3-wire)
electrical
cord (except
in
Japan) because
protective
grounding is
necessary.
The
electrical
plug
is
a UL and
CSA required
and
approved
electrical
plug.
Each
of
these
programs
is specially designed
and
will
only work with
the
equipment indicated.
If
you
do not know what
hardware
you have,
consult your
place of purchase.
How
to
Install the
Screen Copy
Program
To install
the
Screen Copy program,
insert
your
DOS diskette
into your A
disk
drive.
(The A drive
is usually
the one
on the left or
the top.) Close
the door
to the
disk
drive.
(Turn
the
diskette
slot
handle
to
the
vertical (closed) position
for
the IBM Portable
Personal Computer
or
the
PCjr.)
Turn
your workstation
On.
When
the DOS prompt appears,
remove
your
DOS
diskette,
and insert the
IBM
supplied
diskette.
Close
the
door
or
set
the
diskette slot
handle
as
above.
Copy the
appropriate program
(PRT3S52A.COM,
PRT3852B.COM,
or
PRT3852C.COM)
to
your system
diskette.
Your DOS
book will explain
how to do
this. For example,
after the DOS
prompt
enter
copy a:PRT3852A.COM
b:
to
use the
Screen
Copy
program if you
have
a
color graphics adapter
