Re: Problem with TBSBLSPR Separator Page

Dear Michael,

I once experienced this type of problem when using a
cutsheet laser printer. My customer was specifying 270
degree rotation because they were punching holes in
the paper.

When they specified 90 degree rotation everything was
ok. When they specified 270 degree rotation, the left
margin was not correct.

In looking at the incoming IPDS data stream, we were
expecting to find the paper size to be Letter (8.5 by
11 inches). 

For some reason, the operating system had interpreted
the application specifications as requiring a page
size of 8.5 by 10.67 inches. The printer knew it had
Letter size paper in it. When this "non-standard sized
page" was rotated 270 degrees there was a 0.33 inch
gap between the physical edge of the media and the
beginning of the logical page described by the
application. The attempt by the printer to manage the
"gap" caused left margin difficulties.

The problem was resolved by updating the application
to request an 8.5 by 11 inch page.

You might want to verify at the AFCCU that the
incoming separator page is formatted for the paper
size you are expecting.

HTH

Best Regards,

/Paul
