The OUT# command will redirect all output, that normally goes to the screen, to the specified device. There are three variations to the command.
OUT# int-exp
This device is selected as the only
output device.
OUT# int-exp ON
This device is selected as an output
device, but all other output devices
remain unaffected.
OUT# int-exp OFF
The device specified by int-exp is
deselected. The status of all other
output devices remains unaffected.
The OUTL# command sends all LPRINT,LLIST streams to the selected device. The on,off variations on the OUT# command also apply to the OUTL# command.
Output Device Numbers.
0 Screen output device (default)
1 Parallel Port (Commonly a printer)
2 300 Baud Cassette output.
3 1200 Baud Cassette output.
4 300 Baud RS232 Serial Output
5 1200 Baud RS232 Serial Output
A WARM BOOT will reset the output device to the screen. The only command (other than an OUTL# command) that can change the OUTL# selection is a COLD BOOT, where the OUTL device is set as being RS232 at 1200 Baud (i.e., device 5) - device 1 for a PC85.
