Sending plot files using explorer and batch file:
I use this method instead of issuing commands directly from a DOS
window. Create a bat file (or .cmd file in NT) as shown below.
Plot.bat
=============
@echo off
COPY /B %1 LPT1:
echo PLOT SENT
pause
EXIT
or for a network plotter ....
PlotNet.bat
=============
@echo off
COPY /B %1 \\Printserver\hp750c
echo PLOT SENT
pause
EXIT
Place a shortcut to the batch file in your Windows\SendTo directory then
you can right click a plot file in explorer and send it to the plotter.
You can also register a file extension (eg. .plt) to the plot.bat file
then just double click on it in the explorer window to send it to the
plotter.
(Avoid plot filenames containing spaces - they won't work.)
