Use the DOS COPY command to sent the output to files.

You can then send the output files to a printer using a simple DOS COPY command.

This example sends a file to a printer:

The /B parameter is used to specify that the file contains binary information.

You can also embed the files in a word processing or desktop publishing document using an import or link command.

You usually use the Documentation Facility for printing a series of reports and/or a series of diagrams. When you direct the output to files, you typically sent the output to a series of individual files, so that each file contains only one report or one diagram.

The output files that are created contain images of diagrams or reports; therefore, the attributes of the images must be specified. For example, you might want to specify for a diagram to be stored as an Encapsulated Postscript file, using landscape orientation, and 75 dots per inch.
