- To toggle the printer off go up to the Transfer pulldown menu, and click on Capture to Printer again to toggle the print command off.
To Print Selected Text
- First, using the mouse highlight the section of the data that you want to print. This must be done prior to hitting the print command.
- Now, go up to the File pulldown menu, and click on Print. It will give you the option to print the entire file or only the selection. Make sure Selection is selected and hit OK.
Downloading from Windows95/98/NT/XP HyperTerminal
- Go up to the Transfer drop-down menu, and choose Capture Text... You may either save the information to the default file or you may choose the file into which you would like to save the information. Now click on the start button, and it will capture all the text after this point.
- To turn the capture off merely go up to the Transfer drop down menu, move down to Capture Text..., and hit Stop. You are now finished downloading.
Downloading Delimited Mailing Labels from HyperTerminal
Before you save delimited information on HyperTerminal you must make sure that the Autowrap mode is off. To do this go up to the File drop-down menu and click on Properties. Towards the top of the Properties box click on the "Settings" page. Now, towards the bottom of the "Settings" page click on ASCII Setup... Towards the bottom of this screen see that there is not a check-mark in the box next to "Wrap lines that exceed terminal width." Keep clicking on OK until you are out of the Properties box.
- Once you have a list that can be printed out as mailing labels, type L to access the label program and hit <ENTER>.
- It will now ask, "Do you want the output to go to the <P>rinter or the (S)creen:" Type S to print to the screen and hit <ENTER>.
- When it asks if you want the labels in delimited form, type Y for yes and hit <ENTER>.
- The next question asks if you want quotation marks to surround the entire record, each field, or none. Depending on what program you are importing the information into will determine if you want quotes or not. For programs such as MS Word and many others you will not need quotes.
- Next, you need to enter the character that will be your delimiter. Any character will work here, but you want to make sure that the program that you are importing the information to accepts this character as a delimiter.
- Now choose if you want the information in standard mailing label format or you can customize the information in the labels.
- You now get a message that says, "HIT THE RETURN KEY WHEN READY." At this point you need to toggle the capture on. To do this go up to the Transfer drop-down menu, and choose Capture Text... You may either save the information to the default file or you may choose the file into which you would like to save the information. Now click on the Start button, and it will capture all the text after this point.
- Finally, hit the <ENTER> button to start downloading the mailing labels.
- To turn the capture off merely go up to the Transfer drop down menu, move down to Capture Text..., and hit Stop. You are now finished downloading.
