Summary:

When receiving text through the Works Communications tool, there is no way to send the text to a printer as the information is being received. You must first capture the text to a file and then print that file to the printer from the Word Processor.

More Information:

Text can be captured to a file using the Transfer Capture command in Works. First, connect to your host, then use the following commands:


 * 1) Press ALT, T to bring up the Transfer menu.
 * 2) Press C to select the Capture Text option.
 * 3) Type the name of the file you want the captured text to be stored in.
 * 4) Press ENTER to carry out the command. As information from your host appears across the screen, it will be going to the capture file specified in Step 3.

To stop sending information to the capture file, use the following steps:


 * 1) Press ALT, T to bring up the Transfer menu.
 * 2) Press E to select the End Capture Text option.
 * 3) Press ENTER to carry out the command.

To print the capture file to your printer, load it into the Works Word Processor and print it using the Print Printer command.
