Hello,

I have been using lp5250d along with scs2pdf. I am getting a pdf however it comes up with a page size in the pdf viewer of 10.39 by 9 instead of the expected 11 x 8.5.

Text on the page is also shifted outside the top margin and missing about 1/2 of the page.

I have executed scs2pdf -s and I have noticed the following lines of interest:
Mar 22 07:28:16 localhost scs2pdf[24201]: SHM set left margin to 1
Mar 22 07:28:16 localhost scs2pdf[24201]: SHM set right margin to 27648

As for SPPS (width = 14256) (length = 12240), it does not seems to be the expected measurements. I have to say that that the report has 132 columns.

Based on my testing, the 9 inch measurement is pretty constant however the 10.39 expands if the report uses the full width available.

Additionnaly and maybe related, the 2nd page of the report does not have the text shifting outside the paper and begins correctly close to 1/2 inch to the top.

I have also noticed that at times, after printer the same report a couple times, lp5250d seems to be generating an scs file that causes scs2pdf to report a Floating point exception. The same file however looks normal with scs2ascii.

I would appreciate any help. I am ready to do some more tests as required. Thanks a lot !!
