 iSeries / AS400 FAQ : Operations : Configuration :
Configure Network Printers using HPT so COR matches PC's Landscape Printing. |
| The problem is that when you print a report to a Network Printer using HPT and it performs COR that rotates the output to landscape it is opposite of what a PC would print. If you are using letter head or other forms common to i5 output and PC output you have to switch for each file.
By using a *WSCST you can have OS/400 match other systems. The problem is caused by the IBM supplied transformation which has the landscape and 270 degree rotations switched. RTVWSCST DEVTYPE(*TRANSFORM)
MFRTYPMDL(*HP4000)
SRCMBR(HP4000)
SRCFILE(YOURLIB/QTXTSRC)
This example retrieves the transformation for the HP4000 series of printers and places the source in QTXTSRC member HP4000.Then using the editor of your choice search the member for :PRTORIENT and you will find a block of code similar to: :PRTORIENT
ORIENT=PORTRAIT
DATA ='1B266C304F'X.
:PRTORIENT
ORIENT=LANDSCAPE
DATA ='1B266C334F'X.
:PRTORIENT
ORIENT=RTT180
DATA ='1B266C324F'X.
:PRTORIENT
ORIENT=RTT270
DATA ='1B266C314F'X.
Change the line ORIENT=PORTRAIT to ORIENT=RTT270 and ORIENT=RTT270 to ORIENT=PORTRAIT.Save the source in another member. For this example HP4000M. Create a new *WSCST by: CRTWSCST WSCST(YOURLIB/HP4000M)
SRCFILE(YOURLIB/QTXTSRC)
Then end the writer and vary off the device.Apply the new *WSCST by: CHGDEVPRT DEVD(ZZZZ)
WSCST(YOURLIB/HP4000M)
Vary on the device and restart the writer.You might also want to be aware that any CRTPRTF/CHGPRTF/OVRPRTF commands that use PAGRTT(180) or PAGRTT(270) will now have the opposite effect when printed to this printer. | |
