50G, Plot-Table-Printing to 82240 IR printer Message #1 Posted by George Bailey (Bedford Falls) on 8 Aug 2008, 3:48 a.m. Is it possible to print the table that you generate by pressing [white shift] *hold* [F6] more or less directly to an 82240 IR printer without writing a program for the calculation of X's an Y's? I was hoping for a similar way as printing the plot itself: PICT it and PR1 printing from the stack...

Any other ideas? I was hoping for a more configurable way... BTW, the table is not stored in a matrix, is it?

Re: 50G, Plot-Table-Printing to 82240 IR printer Message #3 Posted by Graham Gibbs on 10 Aug 2008, 10:03 a.m., in response to message #2 by George Bailey (Bedford Falls) Hi George - as a 'rough and ready' way, [ON]*hold*[up arrow] does work (I've just tried it with my Hp50g and 82240B IR printer). If you want a programmable command, have you tried PRLCD (available through [CAT])? It works for me - there is a bit for info' in the Hp49 AUR. Hope this helps!! (p.s. make sure Flag 34 is set to 'Print via IR'!!)

Re: 50G, Plot-Table-Printing to 82240 IR printer Message #4 Posted by George Bailey (Bedford Falls) on 10 Aug 2008, 12:36 p.m., in response to message #3 by Graham Gibbs Thanks Graham! That is the way to screen print that was already suggested on comp.sys.hp48. Maybe I was not specific enough: in general I know how to print with my 50G (or 48G, 42S) 82240A/B combo. My problem is: can I use the value table that is generated for the plot by pressing and holding [white shift] [F6] for printing other than via screen shot? Is there an internal variable matrix filled with the x's and y's that I could print out, something like XVALMAT and YVALMAT? If so, how do I access this? My studying the AUR and every other bit of information I have available tells me I can not :-(

Re: 50G, Plot-Table-Printing to 82240 IR printer Message #5 Posted by Chuck on 11 Aug 2008, 1:53 a.m., in response to message #4 by George Bailey (Bedford Falls) I would guess that the table is dynamic and not a fixed number of values. How would it know how far to fill? and how would the calculator know how many values to send to the printer? Definitely sounds like a task for a program.

It was just a nice day dream: a hidden command that would take the lower and upper x-limits from stack... Well, a program for that task is not that hard to do...
