Sample Application

M6017PrintScreen is a SatForms plugin extension that enables you to print entire screens or rectangular screen regions to the cool Monarch 6017 printer, which is designed for the Symbol SPT-1700 Palm device. No other printing extensions or print managers are required.

Features include:

• You can print monochrome full screens in small, medium, or large size.
• You can print monochrome rectangular screen regions (such as just a signature ink or SFInkView field in small, medium, or large size.
• You can also print 2-bit (4 level) greyscale screens in medium size! It works well printing 2-bit grey bitmaps in conjunction with the SFBitmapView extension, for example.
• The PrintScreen function also lets you choose from three border styles, or no border. The PrintRegion function does not print a border (unless there is a border on the screen in the region you have selected).

Text Printing on the Monarch 6017: The standard Printer extension that comes with SatForms controls the Monarch 100% fine for text printing. You should use it for any non-graphics printing. Download the SatForms example from the Monarch website to use as a guide, and also download their printer programming manual which lists all of the printer control codes for doing things like bold print, large print, rotated print, etc.
