3012.0. "DT and printing a landscape doc." by ISLNDS::MCGINNESS () Thu Jul 15 1993 17:39

    A landscape document is created in EDT and transferred into ALL-IN-1
    via DT.
    Upon printing the document to a landscape LN03 que, the text pitch
    doesn't change and does not paginate correctly.  It's a multiple page
    document and most of the time, only one line per page is printed.  This
    is also happening with other landscape documents created in EDT and
    DT'd.
    I've tried the following: 
    1. Created a document in WPS and "Gold get" the document from mail.
    2. Converted document to a WPSPLUS document.
    
    Anyone experince this problem or have any more suggestions?
    
    Thank you,
    Kathy

3012.1	Landscape documents?	IOSG::NEWLAND	Richard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2	`Thu Jul 15 1993 17:53`	17
	This is most likely to be a set-up problem on your system because ALL-IN-1 does not ship with a 'landscape LN03 que'. Are your landscape documents just ASCII files with long lines, or do they contain printer control sequences to perform landscape printing? What happens when you print the ASCII files to the same printer queue from VMS? What is the ALL-IN-1 printer destination when printing to a 'landscape LN03 que' and how is this defined on your system? Which version of ALL-IN-1 are you using? Richard
3012.2	More info on printing landscape prob.	ISLNDS::MCGINNESS		`Mon Jul 19 1993 20:56`	26
	Richard, We are using version 3.0 of ALL-IN-1. VMS 5.5-2. Landscape documents are just ASCII files with long lines. Same file prints fine from VMS to same printer queue. ALL-IN-1 printer destination is System_printer - foreground function is DO WPPSYSTEM Background function is DO WPPBGFORMAT Format is LN03-R. Device is LN03A4. I was able to print the document landscape from A1 by editing it and putting in the following print control commnand: Printer format landscape A I also had to change the pitch. I also created a landscape document in A1 and that also printed only one line per page and did not change the pitch,. I thought we could print landscape in the previous version. Thank you, Kathy
3012.3	Print from VMS?	IOSG::NEWLAND	Richard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2	`Mon Jul 19 1993 23:16`	11
	More questions... When you print from VMS do you use any qualifiers on the PRINT command, e.g. /FORM? When you print an ASCII file from ALL-IN-1 what qualifiers does the Print job have? Richard

	If you are getting one line per page, it sounds like a /TRUNCATE is on form DEFAULT. Or that DEFAULT is not defined as form 0. If neither is true, check your mounted forms at the time of printing (I guess OA$HLS_80 or OA$HLS_132). These could have /TRUNCATE on them. I know /TRUNCATE should only truncate lines of text, but I have seen problems when this was defined. Hope this helps. julia
