Buffer pass-through printing

Check this option to buffer pass-through printing. This will avert the issue of some applications that frequently toggle pass-through printing mode on and off, resulting in printed pages with only one line or pages that are otherwise incomplete. This option buffers all pass-through printing data and does not send it to the printer until you instruct SecureCRT to print the contents of the pass-through printing buffer.

To print the contents of the pass-through printing buffer:

1. Open the File menu and select Print.

2. In the Print menu, select Eject Page.
