Question: How do I print on the Wang PC using Multiplan?

Response: “COMx:” and “LPTx:” are not recognized as valid printer ports on the Wang PC when using Multiplan. Depending on the version of Multiplan, you will need to use one of the following commands to redirect printing on the Wang PC:


 * 1) In Multiplan 2.0, use the Print File: PRN1 (or PRN2) command to redirect printing on the Wang PC.
 * 2) In Multiplan 3.0, set the Print Options Adapter field to PRN1 or PRN2 to redirect printing on the Wang PC.

The Wang PC cannot print in IBM Emulation mode if it is also connected to a Multiport Controller card (this is general information from Wang and is true with any software). Multiplan doesn’t support the Wang PC in IBM Emulation mode; the Wang must be in native mode (Wang mode) to run Multiplan with the Wang installation option.
