RE: SCS writer

[DReid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Carriage return and line feed will do you no good.
Use methods newLine() and endPage()
// example
// define attributes
    pList = new PrintParameterList();
    pList.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_PAGELEN 66F);
    pList.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_PAGEWIDTH, 132F);
    pList.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_OUTPUT_QUEUE, "TEST");
    out = new SpooledFileOutputStream(as400, pList, null, null);
// define writer
    scsWtr = new SCS5256Writer(out, 37, as400);
// new line
        scsWtr.newLine();
// end page
    scsWtr.endPage();

Subject: SCS writer

I'm creating a spooled file using SCS5256Writer and have trouble getting
the page-feeds right.  This job will print customer labels for our
catalogs.
I'm not using a print file, but I set the parameters like this:

     parms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_MEASMETHOD, "*ROWCOL");
     parms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_PAGELEN, (float)18.0);
     parms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_OVERFLOW, 18);

I send lines continuously to the printer (four lines of data ending with
carriageReturn() and lineFeed() followed by fourteen CR/LF's).  I put
greenbar in the printer to test it (form type *STD), but it appears to
print one greenbar-sized page and then stop at the bottom printing over
and over itself.  What am I doing wrong?
