COPY
Command/Statement
COPY makes Sinclair ZX Printers produce a copy of the screen display.
How to use COPY
COPY is used as a direct command or as a statement within a program. It requires no parameters. After COPY, and providing the printer is connected, a copy of the first 22 lines of the screen display is then printed. Note that all ink (foreground) colours are printed in black; paper (background) colours are not printed. The printer can be stopped by BREAK.
If a program listing appears on the screen, it can be printed by using the COPY provided it was produced by a LIST command or statement. Note that a listing will appear in the screen on pressing ENTER after a program has been completed or stopped, but this 'automatic' listing cannot be printed with COPY.
