Create a .com program which is run by your .bat file to do it for you.
The easiest way is with debug.

A> debug <CR>

- A100 <CR>				assemble at location 100

xxxx:0100   INT 5 <CR>			software interrupt 5
xxxx:0102   RET <CR>			program return
xxxx:0103   <CR>			end entering assembly

- RCX					open CX register
CX 0000					debug giving contents of CX
:3 <CR>					you enter file length

- N PRTSC.COM				you enter file name

- W					you tell debug to write file

- Q					quit debug


When you run the file prtsc.com, it will invoke in a software
fashion the interrupt 5 vector which is the normal print screen
vector.  This is normally invoked by the keyboard handler when
you do the SHIFT-PRTSC combo.
