THINKBLT(9.1) THINKBLT(9.1) NAME thinkblt, think - print on thinkjet SYNOPSIS thinkblt [ stream ] think [ -o stream ] [ file ... ] nroff -Tthink ... | think [ -o stream ] DESCRIPTION Thinkblt downloads an interrupt driver for the HP ThinkJet printer, provides a menu of operations for printing various data residing in the terminal, and sets up a stream by default) on which think can print data from the host. It is intended to be down-loaded once per terminal session. Most of the menu items are identical to those of blit- blt(9.1). The remaining ones are: print bitmap Print whatever bitmap is currently selected, in anal- ogy to blitblt(9.1). The widest printable bitmap is 640 pixels across. print mux buffer Print the mux `snarf' buffer. reset printer Sends ESC-E. While the printer is operating, a different menu allows one to abort or pause the print operation. The printer has a fairly large internal buffer, so response may be slow. Files on the host may be printed by giving them as arguments or stan- dard input to think. When used with nroff, names like \('e may be used to access the special characters provided by the hardware; the nroff terminal driving file has a complete list; see troff(1). Both nroff and pr(1) will paginate properly if top-of-form is set so that the pa- per tear is aligned flush with the top of the metal clip which holds the absorber. FILES nroff descriptor file SEE ALSO troff(1), pr(1), blitblt(9.1) BUGS The 5620 ROM program is unable to cope with interrupts from the printer; it is therefore necessary to download mux(9.1) before turning on the printer. Thinkblt substitutes its own interrupt routine for the (trivial) one provided by mux(9.1). The latter is restored upon exit, but havoc may result if the thinkblt layer is simply deleted. The special nroff character names are not currently supported by any other device. THINKBLT(9.1)
