Hello,
I have a customer who upgraded to ALL-IN-1 3.0.
Now he has some problems with his LA75 print queue (who worked perfectly
with ALL-IN-1 2.4).
He says that if he prints a document with a control block that puts the
number of every page at the end of it (=p), he gets wrong form feeds for every
page.
It seems to be more a VMS problem, but I can't find what can be.
We created a document with the command
<format oa$curdoc_filename,"test.lis","la75",-1,0,0
We put 66 at the number of lines for page.
With this document we did a PRINT/QUEUE=..../FORM=OA$HLS_80
and we got the problem.
If we attach the SAME LA75 printer at the printer port, and we do a
<copy_to_port "test.lis"
all goes right.
So it's a printer queue problem.But the printer has these characteristics:
Terminal: TXA7 Device_type:LA75
Input:4800 LFfill:0 Width:155 Parity:None
Output:4800 CRfill:0 Page:66
Terminal characteristics:
Interactive Echo Type_ahead No Escape
No Hostsync TTsync Lowercase No Tab
Wrap Hardcopy No remote Eightbit
No broadcast No Readsync Form Fulldup
No modem No Local_echo No Autobaud No hangup
No brdcstmbx No DMA No Altypaehd Set speed
No Commsync Line Editing Overstrike Editing No Fallback
No dialup No Secure Server No Disconnect Pasthru
No Syspassword No SIXEL Graphics No Soft Characters No Priner Port
Numeric Keypad No ANSI_CRT No Regis No Block Mode
No Advanced Video No Edit_mode No DEC_CRT No DEC_CRT2
No DEC_CRT3 No DEC_CRT4 VMS Style Input
Are any of these settings wrong?
Any help is greatly appreciated

| 2748.1 | Print Form | IOSG::NEWLAND | Richard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2 | Mon May 24 1993 19:48 | 9 |
VMS Print Forms are only used when printing to VMS Print Queues, and are not used with a COPY_TO_PORT. What is the definition of the OA$HLS_80 Print Form on the system? Does printing using the DEFAULT print form change anything? Richard | |||||
| 2748.2 | here is the form | ROM01::DESPOSITO | Wed May 26 1993 11:23 | 16 | |
Here is the OA$HLS_80 form:
Form name Number Description
--------- ------ -----------
OA$HLS_80 (stock=DEFAULT) 1112 ALL-IN-1 form for narrow printers
/LENGTH=66 /MARGIN=(BOTTOM=6) /STOCK=DEFAULT /WIDTH=80
Printing with the form DEFAULT gives the same result.
I've tried to put LENGTH=255 to the OA$HLS_80 form and with this setting
things goes "better".That is, if you print the same file two times, the
first time it's correctly printed, but the second one starts with the lines
shifted up.

| 2748.3 | What type of Document? | IOSG::NEWLAND | Richard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2 | Wed May 26 1993 16:21 | 18 |
WPS-PLUS V3.1 was integrated into ALL-IN-1 V2.4, WPS-PLUS V4.1 is integrated into ALL-IN-1 V3.0. The ALL-IN-1 Application Programming Interface FORMAT function is an interface to the WPS-PLUS Formatter. Because you are formatting WPS-PLUS documents with the WPS-PLUS Formatter is it possible that the change in the version of WPS-PLUS is the cause of the differences that your are seeing. That is, the new WPS-PLUS formatter is creating a different listing file. What happens when you print ASCII documents formatted with the ALL-IN-1 ASCII formatter to the LA75 printer? What happens when you print WPS-PLUS documents formatted with the WPS-PLUS formatter with an LP11 Print Style to the LA75 printer? Richard | |||||
