Printing
Reference: The PT continues operation even while the screen hard copy is being printed.
It is necessary to ensure that the printer operation status (bit 7) among the PT
status notify bits is 0 (OFF) before starting printing.
Once screen printing has been started by operation of the PT status control bit,
it is not possible to stop printing.
If screen printing is specified during printing by the PT, the screen printing
instruction is ignored.
Words must be allocated for the PT status control area in the host. No special
settings are required for printing a hard copy of the screen.
