2.7 Printing

First you must configure at least one printer. Choose one way:

Use in VnmrJ the Admin tool:

the command vnmrj adm from a Unix Shell gives you a window where you can configure plotters/printers.

Edit the /vnmr/devicenames file manually

See bellow.

If you want only to print to a PostScript file, add the following lines to the /vnmr/devicenames file:

##############################
Name    psfile
Use     Both
Type    PS_AR
Host    your_hostname
Port    remote
Baud
Shared  No
#############################

Then you have created the plotter with name psfile. Type plotter='psfile' in the Vnmr(J) prompt to use this virtual plotter. To print to a printer (not to a file) you whould only change the value of the parameter plotter. In this case you also do not need to specify a file for the command page in the examples bellow.

Examples:

Printing spectrum with scale and listing lines:

pl pscale ppf page

Printing an array of spectra to a file:

plotter='psfile' pl(' all') page('$HOME/filename.ps')
or to print a few array increments (e.g. 2, 5, 8, 11)
pl(2,11,3) page(´$HOME/filename.ps)
where pl(2,11,3) means from 2 to 11, each third increment.

Printing an array of FIDs to a file:

plotter='psfile' plfid(' all') page('$HOME/fidarray.ps')

Other sefull commands

• pl transfers the screen (spectr+integrals) to a printer spool
• pscale for scale
• ppa sends basics parameters to spool
• pir or pirn to print integral values
• ppf or ppfhz prints ppm values over each peak
• page sends all spool data (given by above commands) to printer in one page
• page('$HOME/picrure.ps') sends all spool data to the ps file
• page('clear') to clean spool and start again
• pll pltext page prints a peak list in spectrum text
• printon prints the outputs of commands, ie, the output is directed to the printer insted of the screen. prinoff stops.
