Profile editor dialog page "Printer"

On this page you can setup the printer emulation inside DOSBox.

This page will only be visible if the printer emulation support is enabled on the DOSBox CVS features page of the program options dialog. The official DOSBox 0.72 build delivered with DFendX does not support the emulation of a printer.

• Enable printer emulation
  Changing this option will activate or deactivate the whole printer emulation inside DOSBox. If this option is turned off, all other options on this page will take no effect.

• Resolution (in dpi)
  On this option you can choose the resolution of the virtual printer.

• Paper width and Paper height
  In this edit fields you can define the size of the virtual page. The sizes entered in this boxes is measured in 1/10 inch.

• Output format
  From this dropdown box you can select the way DOSBox should output the data printed on its virtual printer:

  • png: Will create a png (portable network file) graphics file. DOSBox will prompt you for the file name.
  • ps: Will create a ps (post script) file. DOSBox will prompt you for the file name.
  • bmp: Will create a bmp (bitmap) graphics file. DOSBox will prompt you for the file name.
  • printer: Will send the data printed on the virtual printer to the real Windows default printer.

• Activate multipage printing
  (This option will only take effect if postscript output is selected.) If this option is deactivated each page the application inside DOSBox wants to print will be directed to an individual output file. By activating this option multiple pages can be directed to a single file. To quit printing to a file you will have to press Ctrl+F2.
