76.2A sideways view of paperCHEST::WRIGHTWhats this do?Fri Oct 16 1987 11:4710
    Iain,
    
    For the LPS40 use /PARAMETERS=(PAGE_ORIENATION=LANSDSCAPE)
    
    this is about the only thing I can get to work apart from using
    the left hand corner of a� sheets of paper :-)

76.3Yup...thats what the LPS40 will doELBOW::DRAPERSteve DraperSat Oct 17 1987 22:0510
    re: 0., .2
    Tony - I think you have hit on a problem that currently can only
    be solved by using a bit of postscript programming to force the
    LPS40 to do what you want. By default, it will do exactly as you
    describe.
    
    There is a more detailed discussion of this problem in the notes
    conference CLOSET::DOCUMENT. Press Kp7 to add it to your notesfile.

76.5Is there a PS_??? que?CHEST::RUSSELLACR - Another Crescent RefugeeTue Mar 13 1990 14:2112
    With LPS20s an  40s, you usually have a specieal PS que name,
    so if the LPS is call FRED, you should(!) have a PS_FRED que.
    
    We didn't do anything special with them at UCG, just followed the
    standards....
    
    If you can't find a que own there, either contact the local I.S.
    help desk, or find Jerry Thompson - he's hiding somewhere down there!
