Sending Validation Messages to a File
To send validation messages to a file, it is necessary to:
•
add the Generic/Text Only printer to the Installed Printers list
•
assign the printer to a FILE: port.
For details on how to add Generic/Text Only on FILE: to the
Installed Printers list on your computer, see the Microsoft Windows
User’s Guide. This printer driver allows you to print text but not
graphics.
To send validation messages to a file:
1. Select the Printer Setup button in the Exceptions dialog to open
the standard Windows Print Setup dialog.
2. Select Generic/Text Only on FILE: from the list of Specific
Printers. If it is not listed, it must be installed first.
3. Select OK to exit the Printer Setup dialog.
4. Select the Print button in the Exceptions dialog to open the Print
to File dialog.
5. Enter the name of the file in which to save the validation
messages.
6. Select OK to output messages to the file.
If the file name already exists, a dialog gives the option of
overwriting it or entering another file name.
Select Cancel at any time to abort the printing.
7. Select Close to return to the Message Editor Table View.
