2970.0. "Alternate blank page embeded in WPS-PLUS printer output" by HTSC19::ALEXLUI () Tue Jul 06 1993 10:49

     Hi,
    
     I want to know how to troubleshoot the following case:
    
    Printing a file of 3 pages from WPS-PLUS to a printer queue (which is
    directed to a HP LASERJET IV printer) will get 5-page output with
    alternate blank pages, i.e. page 2 and page 4, embeded.
    
     Any assistenance?   
     Thanks
     Alex

2970.1Page too long?IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeTue Jul 06 1993 12:046
    I would guess that the page size is too long for the printer, and that
    it's putting out a blank page for the overflowing couple of lines.
    
    Check the WPS-PLUS Pagination information P {Next Screen} PG {CR}

2970.2Page length is 66. HTSC19::ALEXLUIWed Jul 07 1993 09:1729
    Thanks Graham! That's a good starting.
    
    However, I havve found that the total lines per page is 66. Here is a
    full list of the pagination settings:
    
    
                          WPS-PLUS Pagination Settings
    
      Number on the first page:       1        Auto paginate (Y/N):          N
      First page printed:             1        Lines in the top margin:      4
      Last page printed:              0        Lines in the bottom margin:   2
      Total lines per page:          66        Spaces between columns:       0
      Print quality:              DRAFT        Spaces in left print margin: 10
      Vertical lines per inch:        6        Replacement character 1:
      Characters per inch (pitch):   12        Replacement character 2:
      Extra half-lines                         Print darkness:          NORMAL
        between lines:                0        Shadow print (Y/N):           N
      Sheet feeder tray:         NOTRAY        Widow/orphan control lines:   0
    

    What should be the device type (Device setting) for LASERJET IV? LN03?
    
    Could anyone please kindly tell me the location of the WPS-PLUS? I
    tried this SCRIBE::WPS-PLUS but "Network object is unknown at remote
    node" was displayed.
    
    Any assitenance?
    Thanks
    Alex

2970.4Top/Bottom Margins?IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer&#039;s ApprenticeWed Jul 07 1993 11:245
    I'm not a WPS-PLUs expert, but does the 66 include the top and bottom
    margin? I've often found that reducing those margins to 0 makes the
    page fit on the paper.
