If the main difference is that the A version cannot print a handful of special characters, that's not such a big deal. But what about graphics? This conversation leads me to believe that you cannot 'hot-key' the screen from the hp48 to the hp82240A, the way you could with the 28, using on-L.

The character set is hard coded in the printer's ROM whereas graphics are sent using an escape sequence followed by numbers which tell the printer how many dot columns are to be printed and which dots to turn on. These numbers are the same for both the HP82240 A and B which means graphics (including printing an image of the display) will print the same on both versions of the printers. The keys to 'hot-key' the screen on the HP48 are ON-MTH.

What's the word on this one? No problem. I can print the screen to an hp82240A using ON-PRINT. This works for the EquationWriter too. You must be sure that the system flag -34 is clear. Graphics have nothing to do with the new character set in the B printer; they operate identically on both. Alonzo Gariepy alonzo@microsoft
