I would like to discuss an additional operation for printing documentation from within Quill. I have recently received requests from some of our corresponding LIST members: “How print large documents, say 10 pages or more, back-to-back”.
What I mean by ‘back-to-back’ is that page two is printed on the back of page 1; page four is printed on the back of page three, and so on….
Before you start printing document pages singly, make a list of the pages; both odd pages and even pages and as you start to print each individual page cross out that page number on your list so that you will not become confused when it is time to print the next page.
ODD EVEN
1 2
3 4
5 6
7 8
and so on..................
When you’re ready to print out your document, press F3, P, ENTER.
The command line will state Print, current,- press ENTER.
The command line will state Print, current, whole, – press 1, ENTER.
The command line will state Print, current, 1 to end,.- press 1 again and then press ENTER.
The command line will state Print, current, 1 to 1, to printer,.
To print out the page to your printer, press ENTER and the page will be printed.
The next page to be printed should be page 3. Just repeat the above sequence by entering 3 instead of 1, and so on…
Remember to print out ALL odd pages, in their normal sequence as the above table illustrates; then remove the printed pages from your printer and turn the printed paper over and reinsert the paper into your printer. Note that the printed matter on the printer paper NOW faces up. Make sure that you installed the printer paper with the top of page 1 first and ensure that the top of the page is in the proper alignment so that the document header and/or footer will be in the approximate place as is the page 1 side.
This sounds like a lot of work.. it really isn’t. Your documents will now be professional looking and as an added benefit, you have only used half the amount of printer paper that you would normally use.
Since the beginning of the year, the German QL market seems to have exploded! Both suppliers have wide variety of new hardware and software for sale. Hard disk drives interfaces for an assortment of small to large capacity hard drives, a QL computer TOWER case, and so much more.
It is my understanding that Mechanical Affinity will also be handling one of the German suppliers software and hardware, contact:
