Obtaining hardcopy
If the LA50 is connected to the user's VT2xx or VT3xx terminal then the printer can be accessed by sending the file directly to the terminal: use PGPLOT device TT:/LA50 or DEFINE PGPLOT_LA50 TT: (be sure to do a SET TERM/FORM if page spacing is important). If the LA50 is attached to a different terminal port, e.g., TXZ99:, which preferably has been set spooled, use PGPLOT device TXZ99:/LA50 or DEFINE PGPLOT_LA50 TXZ99:.
