Print from vdos becomes slow

[roy]

Dear All Master,



I created my own application to do print and I tried individually to do a print of my application by taking the "#LPT1. ASC" the process is directly print

and if I do via vdos by doing config as follows "LPT1 = "testrawprinting.exe" the print result takes 10 seconds so I think it's slow. Is there anything I set in the Vdos app?.

Please solution.

Thanks

Have a look in at the TIO: option (Printing.pdf).
A 10 second delay will however mostly be due to the DOS program.

Dear Mr. Jos,


I do via vdos by doing config as follows "LPT1 = "testrawprinting.exe" TIO:1


Is it true that I have to set it up like that

thanks

If your DOS program doesn’t then produce broken pages, that would be an option.

But even if the program doesn’t send a final formfeed, the speed gain would be at most 4 seconds. Else you can better omit this option.

As said, most of the waiting time, if not all but 1 second, will be due to your program composing the output.
