Select option 4 - Print File Functions to print:

DL5 Messages

•

Message Attributes

•

Special Function Settings

For this option, you must have a printer connected to the computer LPT1
parallel port.

NOTE: Most printers are designed to hook up to the parallel port, but if
your printer uses the serial input, you can redirect the printer output to a
serial port such as COM2. You can do this before running the DL5 program
at the DOS prompt by typing the following commands:

MODE LPT1: =COM2

MODE COM2: 9600,N,8,1

These commands configure COM2 for a serial printer with 9600 baud, no
parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit.

Note that these commands will require customization for your particular
computer and/or printer. Consult your computer user’s manual for the exact
commands required.

1. Enter the DL5 name to access the DL5 Messages that you would like to

print.

2. Select the range of message numbers that you want to print. If you select

or include Message #0, the Special Functions settings will be printed.
