Starting the Print Operation

After selecting messages and configuring the printer port, you are ready to
start printing messages.

Verify that the printer is online and set to top-of-form before printing (to
prevent loss of information on printout). This is important if a prior printout
was aborted because of a computer reset or power cycle.

Select Print File from the Select File menu. Highlight Print File, then press
[Enter] or just press [P].

A window opens prompting you to confirm the start of the print operation.

Select No or Quit to abort the operation and return to the Select File menu.

Select Yes to start printing the files.

Note: Illegal characters, resulting from a corrupted .KPD message file, print
as ~ (tilde) characters. The ~ (tilde) character is not read into the message
editor or downloaded to the Keypad Module.
