RE: Windows 98 Logoff & CA Network Printer problem

["Pytel, Alexei" <pytela1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

By default, AS/400 will perform such thing called COR (Computer Output
Reduction).
If report lines are too long to fit on a page of given size in a given
font, portrait will be changed to landscape and font will be reduced.
Exact rules are rather cumbersome to remember. I think they should be
described in "OS/400 Printer Device Programming" book.

The simplest thing to suppress COR is to change or override printer file
to PAGRTT(0) - default ios *AUTO). Then it will always print portrait
even if characters will be lost at the tail of lines.

    Best regards,

          Alexei Pytel
