dbDOS™ PRO 3 – © 2014 | dBase, LLC.
Interpreted (legacy) – Output stream from DOS program is generated and sent to a text
preview window. This output type is for legacy reasons; if you are having print issues,
it is recommended that you move towards the Enhanced print option. There are many
limitations with Interpreted printing.
o NOTE: While Interpreted can be helpful with the print preview functionality,
additional features to strip leading pages, convert lf (linefeed) to cr (carriage
return) and picking the font are extra capabilities to help generate better output.
The only 2 print drivers recommended for Interpreted include ASCII.pr2 and
GENERIC.pr2 which are included in the dbDOS install process.
Enhanced – The best way to get printouts the way they used to print. This new feature
uses a stripping process for the ASCII characters going into print channel. The new
functionality strips any text decorations related to DOS and applies the Windows text
decorations, thus give a more respectable output format.
o NOTE: Enhanced print is recommended to use any of the FX80_1, 2, or 3.pr2
print drivers for the best results across multiple printer types, including HP.
Direct – The new RAW approach. This is a hybrid approach that takes the best features
of the RAW approach and applies the Enhanced as well. This should be the first choice
if the Enhanced print setting does not work.
o NOTE: The Direct option needs to have a printer selected at the time of
selection. This means the configuration will be limited to that default printer.
When selecting the Direct option please select a printer in the default printer
section or it will default to the first item in the list.
PDF – The new output to PDF. This option allows for both printing only to PDF or
optionally printing to PDF and the selected Printer.
o NOTE: PDF printing is only available in Enhanced and Interpreted print modes.
The long-term plan is that everybody will move towards the Enhanced approach. Both RAW
and Interpreted will be supported for the foreseeable future, but in time we hope that they can
