Print Orientation - Black Box PC124C Installation Manual

This command appears on the screen but will not print. The ouput command
will take effect immediately and continues until the next output command is sent.
Note that ^O00 causes the interface not to send any output instructions to the
printer. All print jobs will be directed to the output bin set through the printer's
operator panel.
The output commands are as follows:

6.10 Print Orientation

When operating the printer and printer interface in IBM 3812-1 emulation mode,
the printer orientation of the host document or report is determined by a variety
of factors. These factors are in order of their impact on the final print orientation:
1. Page Rotation specified in the print file of a data-processing document or in
the document format menu of a word-processing document.
2. Automatic Print Orientation (APO) setting on the printer interface.
3. Print Orientation setting on printer interface.
As you read the following explanation, refer to Figure 6-1 for an illustration of
the print-orientation logic.

AGE OTATION
Degrees of page rotation can be specified through the print file of a data
processing document or in the document format menu of a word-processing
document. See "Changing Page-Rotation Settings" in Section 6.11 for a
description on how to access the print file and the document format menu. The
available settings are 0, 90, 180, 270 degrees and AUTO (AS/400 only). The print
file also offers DEVD and COR (AS/400 only).
a. With 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees you can specify the desired rotation directly
from the host.
b. The COR setting will always print COR, unless the print quality (AS/400 and
S/38) is set to NLQ or STD, or Text (S/36) is set to YES. If the page rotation
is set to COR and print quality/text is one of the above mentioned settings,
the print job will print in portrait in the requested font.
c. With the DEVD and AUTO settings the host does not influence the print
orientation. Rather, the print orientation is determined by the settings on the
printer interface.
