   /R      Print the image reversed (white on black).  Default is
           black on white.
   /B      Print the background in color, if possible.  Valid for
           color4 and color8 printers.
   LCD     Prints an image by using the liquid crystal display (LCD) aspect
           ratio instead of the CGA aspect ratio.  The effect of this
           switch is the same as that of /PRINTBOX:LCD.
   /PRINTBOX:STD | /PRINTBOX:LCD
           Print using the standard aspect ratio, or using an LCD aspect
           ratio (1:1).

 Printing the contents of the screen
 To print the contents of the screen, press Shift+Print Screen.  If the
 computer is in 320x200 color graphics mode and if the printer type is
 color1 or graphics, Graphics prints the screen contents in up to four
 shades of gray.  In 640x200 color graphics mode, graphics prints
 sideways on the paper.  You cannot use Shift+Print Screen to print to
 a laser printer.

 Effect on memory
 The graphics command decreases the amount of available conventional
 memory.

 Example:
 To prepare to print a graphics screen on your printer, type:

    C:\>graphics

 After you display the information you want to print, press Shift+Print
 Screen.  FreeDOS scans the information displayed on the screen and
 sends it to the printer.
