v_escape2000()

Syntax

VOID v_pgcount( handle, numcopies ) or
VOID v_escape2000( handle, numcopies )
WORD handle, numcopies;

Function      v_pgcount() is used to cause the laser printer to output
              multiple copies of the current page.

Opcode        5

Sub-Opcode    2000

Availability  Supported only with some laser printer drivers (for instance
              the Atari laser printer driver) under some form of GDOS.

Parameters    handle specifies a valid workstation handle.
              numcopies specifies the number of copies to print minus one.
              A value of 0 means print one copy, a value of 1, two copies,
              and so on.

Binding       contrl[0] = 5;
              contrl[1] = 0;
              contrl[3] = 1;
              contrl[5] = 2000;
              contrl[6] = handle;

              intin[0] = numcopies;

              vdi();

Comments      This call is preferred over repeatedly calling v_updwk() and
              v_form_adv() as this method forces the printer data to be
              resent for each page.
