Printing A.A.PLC2 programs

[LittleGreenFrog]

I have A.I.PLC2 v6.22 software on a Compac desktop with Win98. My printer is an Epson Stylus C88.
I connect to the PLC through a 1784-KT card with PLC2 cable - works just fine.
The problem is I can't print the program correctly: I've tried every printer listed with standard and compressed text, along with several different margins. I've also tried running the program in both Win98 and DOS - no difference!
The problem is I get no RUNG LINES or I/O ELEMENTS. I'm thinking this is just accessing special characters, but that didn't help, or I'm not doing it right

Well this is before my time but I thought 6200 which was after this product you could do print to file. Is there a function for this in pLC2 editor? After you do this then move the file over to a current operating system and print it out from there.

The way I've worked around this was to connect the serial port of the PC running AI-2 to a modern XP box running Hyperterminal or SimpleTerm and received the text that way.

Then I formatted it a text editor or in MS-Word and printed it out.

It's not simple, but it's easier than trying to resurrect an ancient serial printer.
