Image Hardcopy

  A hardcopy of a frame shown on the image display or stored on disk can be made only if the site has appropriate devices (see Appendix gif which gives the detailed description of the available options).


Grayscale and colour hardcopies can be produced only on Laser printers which support PostScript. Typical command sequences for getting an image hardcopy are:

LOAD/IMAGE frame ! load image into image display
COPY/DISPLAY ! make hardcopy of screen

or

ASSIGN/DISPLAY device ! assign hardcopy device as display
LOAD/IMAGE frame ! load image to hardcopy

where available devices and special parameters are described in Appendix gif. In addition, a set of device specific commands are normally defined to set it up and to get status information (see Appendix gif).
