What type of file are you printing from DCL?  Is it a simple ASCII text 
file which does not contain any printer control sequences?

What type of document are you printing from ALL-IN-1?  Since you are 
chaning Horizontal Pitch, etc. it would seem to be a document which is 
formatted using WPS-PLUS.  It's probable that the WPS-PLUS formatter is 
inserting printer control sequences which overide what is done by a 
/PAGE_ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE.


Richard

    Richard,
    
    The files I am printing in both cases are simple ASCII text files with
    no special control sequences

More questions...

1.  What is the Handling and Data type of your ALL-IN-1 document?  This
    information can be displayed by selecting the document and typing
    Gold-V. 

2.  When you print the document from ALL-IN-1 and press NEXT-SCREEN on the 
    'Printing Document' menu is the 'WPS-PLUS Formatter Print Settings' 
    menu displayed?


Richard

    Richard,
    
    The handling field is blank and data type is wps-plus. 
    
    When I press next screen the WPS-PLUS Formatter Print Settings Menu
    is given.
    
    Gary.
    

In that case your answer in .2 was wrong.  A data type of WPS-PLUS means 
that it is a WPS-PLUS document and is not an ASCII file.  What you are 
printing from ALL-IN-1 is not the same as what you printed from DCL.

WPS-PLUS documents will be formatted by the WPS-PLUS formatter which 
defaults to portrait.  The ALL-IN-1 Printer Destination for your DEClaser 
is probably set-up such that WPS-PLUS formatting will use the DECLASER 
WPS-PLUS Printer Table.  This will result in the listing file containing 
control sequences to set portrait printing.


How did you create the WPS-PLUS document?

Do you wnat your document to be WPS-PLUS or ASCII?


Richard

    Richard,
    
    Apologies for the mistake concerning the data-type.
    
    I create the WPS-PLUS document in WP using my default editor WPSPLUS.
    As my default editor is WPSPLUS (similar to most of the users) I want
    my files to be created as WPSPLUS files. I hope this clarifies
    everything concerning data-type in ALL-IN-1. T
    
    Regards,
    
    Gary.

I suggest that you contact your system manager to see if any other changes
were made to your system when it was upgraded.  In particular were any
Printer Destinations or Print Styles changed or created 

Could you clarify what you did when you 'set-up an alternative print style
called LN08LAND'.  Were you using the 'User Print Styles' menu?


Richard

    Richard,
    
    I am the system manager. I created the print style using the PT option
    from WP in the ALL-IN-1 manager's account. To do this I followed the
    steps outlined in note 1572.3 of this conference.
    Regarding changes to PRINT STYLES, I am currently using the Declaser
    print style for the LN08. I had to modify this to take out a reference
    to one of the trays which was giving a nasty "Setpapertray" error. This
    should not effect anything related to what I am doing here. When
    creating my LN08LAND print style I used the Declaser print style as a
    template. 
    
    Gary.

You confused me because the WP PT option is used to create and modify 
WPS-PLUS Printer Tables which are used only by the WPS-PLUS Formatter

ALL-IN-1 Print Styles are different and are used to control how all types
of final form files are printed. 

Questions about WPS-PLUS Printer Tables are best asked in the WPS-PLUS on 
node MAGIC::.

    I am not sure if I have understood what the problem is in this note.
    
    If your problem is that landscape printing in ANSI mode gets wrapped in
    a wrong place, then edit the .PRA file, so that page size gets included
    in the DECVPFS sequence used for selecting LANDSCAPE:
    
WPS-PLUS v4.1: Landscape printing wraps on DEClaser 2250 before 132 chars.

PRODUCT:   WPS-PLUS v4.1 under ALL-IN-1 v3.0

DATE:   14-JUN-1993


SYMPTOMS/PROBLEM:

A user prints a 132 characters wide WPS-PLUS document in Landscape to a
DEClaser 2250, but text gets wrapped before the end of the lines.

Printer table DECLSRA4 and form ALLIN1 with a width of 511 is used.


ANALYSIS:

When printing with the same printer table to a DEClaser 1100, 
or with an LN03 table to LN03 or to LN03-R, the printout is OK.

But when printing with DECLSRA4 table to an LN03-R, the text also gets 
wrapped.

It seems that the ANSI translator treats the DECVPFS sequence <CSI>2 z 
differently from how this sequence is treated on a non-PostScript printer.

According to Digital ANSI compliant Printing Protocol, if paper length and
width are not included in the DECVPFS sequence, these parameters will be set
to default for selected tray or casette. 
It seems that this is what happens if a PostScript printer is used.


SOLUTION:

Change the DECVPFS sequence so that paper length and width get included.
Note that the SSU sequence <CSI>2 I or <CSI>7 I determines the size unit 
that should be used.

In the DECLSRA4 table - with 1/300 inch as size unit - we have changed 

    %WPS%
    <ESC>[2 z<ESC>[3358t<ESC>[1;s
    <ESC>[1 z<ESC>[3358t
    %WPS%

to

    %WPS%
    <ESC>[2;2480;3508 z<ESC>[3358t<ESC>[1;s
    <ESC>[1;3508;2480 z<ESC>[3358t
    %WPS%

See Digital ANSI compliant Printing Protocol for further documentation on 
the DECVPFS sequence in order to make the sequence fit to other paper formats

    If you have problems with tray selection, then take a look at the tray
    numbers as they appear in DECprint Supervisor release notes:
    
                        DEClaser 3250:
                           0   manual feed / multi-media feeder
                           1*  upper input tray
                           2   lower input tray
                           3   high capacity feeder (A/A4 only)
    
                        DEClaser 2150 or 2250:
                           0   manual feed
                           1*  lower input tray
                           2   upper input tray (duplex only)
                           3   power envelope feeder (if installed)
    
    This means that LN08R should have <CSI>2!v where LN05R and LN06R should
    have <CSI>1!v and visa versa. 
    This should also be changed in the .PRA file.
