EP2DCX Command Line Format
Enter the following command from the DOS prompt to convert a file from
Epson FX format to DCX format. The brackets ([ ]) indicate that the
parameter is optional.
EP2DCX epfile [dcxfile] [/P] [/S] [/O]
where:
epfile is the filename of the Epson file to be converted.
The epfile parameter can contain a pathname, such as
C:\WP\MEMO.PRN.
dcxfile is the filename of the new DCX file that will be
created. The dcxfile parameter can contain a pathname,
such as C:\TEMP\MEMO.DXC. The resulting DCX file can be
up to 99 pages. The DCX filename must not be the same as
the EP filename. If the dcxfile parameter is not included
in the command, the name given for the epfile parameter is
used and given a .DCX extension. For example, if epfile
parameter is MEMO.PRN, the resulting DCX file will be
MEMO.DCX.
/P converts the Epson file to a PCX file rather than a DCX
file. Specifying the /P parameter produces a one-page
file. Depending on the size of the Epson file, the /P
parameter can generate a very long page. Because of this,
this parameter should only be used for short (one-page)
files.
/S Suppresses screen displays, including error messages. Use
when executing EP2DCX from programs that check the return
code for errors.
/O Overrides errors so conversion continues regardless of
errors in the source file. Otherwise, EP2DCX terminates
the conversion after five command errors are detected.
For example, the following command converts the Epson FX file SALES.PRN to
the DCX file SALES.DCX:
EP2DCX SALES.PRN
If a file called SALES.DCX already exists, it is overwritten.
Note: The print width is limited to eight inches. So when
creating documents, format the page width to eight inches
or less.
