START UP
Quick Start Up
Start Up Optional Modes
You can start ANASCAN in certain modes by adding parameters to the
command at start up. These command line options include:
• /e
Operates the program in Edit mode. The program operates normally
but it does not communicate with the CAS. You can operate the
program in Edit mode without any hardware connected to the com-
puter. This mode is useful for initial familiarization, training, and
Off Line job editing.
• /c
Forces the graphics display into CGA mode. This is necessary on
some computers which are not truly IBM compatible.
• /d
Operates the program in the Debug mode. This is useful in debug-
ging communications problems. Don’t use it for normal opera-
tions. All communications between the computer and the CAS are
displayed on the printer. Therefore, in order to use this mode, the
printer must be connected and ready.
You can use capital or small letters in the command line, and more than
one command line option at a time. For example:
Typing ANASCAN /E /C [enter] will operate the program in Edit mode
with CGA graphics.
• Ensure time and date are correct in your computer.
• Type: ANASCAN. Job Select screen appears.
• Type a job’s name. When starting the first time, enter DEFAULT.
• Type D for downloading parameters to the CAS, or U for uploading. For
initial testing in the Edit mode, enter D.
• Overview screen appears.
