-2 Option—When the -2 option is selected in conjunction with
landscape mode, the effect is similar to printing pages 2-up.
There is still only one logical page, however, so only one header
is printed. Library modules invoked by the -B and -E options are
likewise only executed once. The user should note that there is
no provision for lists of modules as found with the /SETUP com-
mand used with VMS printing. The default font for this combina-
tion is 7 point Courier.
n
-4 Option—When the -4 option is selected, all attributes of each
page, including the header, margins, fonts, and any marks made
by beginning-of-page and end-of-page files, are scaled to half
size. Four miniature replicas of a full-size page are printed on
each page. The -4, -2, and -L options may all be used together,
resulting in an effective 8-up appearance. The default type is 3.5
pt. Courier, which is still large enough to be legible.
n
-B and -E Options—The -B and -E options are intended for
users with some knowledge of PostScript. Three PostScript
strings can be accessed by the files used with these options:
Name
Contents
DT
Time and Date
PG
Page Number
FL
Job Name
These strings can be used to design custom page headers, in
conjunction with the -N option, to turn off the default header. The
format of the DT string is illustrated by the following example:
16-OCT-1997 15:42:56
does this . . .
Does not separate columns with a rule line. In two-
column mode, a vertical line normally separates the
columns.
Does not separate 4-up pages with rule lines.
Normally, two lines are drawn in a cross to separate
the miniature pages.
