Re: Sys/36 and an Okidata printer

in the proc
// PRINTER NAME-XX,LPI-8

or a "SET" procedure is like an OVRPRTF to proces that follow
SET 8,,,,, (prompt this, but lpi is the 1st parm

or a native OVRPRTF could do it.

also the S36a (environment attributes i think you can set a printer's default values. try "go cmds36"

Subject: Sys/36 and an Okidata printer

We want to set up a dedicated printer to print invoices. We've done
this already with Bills of Lading forms and it works slick for that.

We have a Sys/36 environment and Okidata printers attached to PCs with a
Client Access printer session. We believe we have copied everything in
our various configurations to be exactly like what we know works. The
new session in fact works fine and prints Bills of Lading just as we
expect them to,

The problem is that when we switch over to the invoices, they are
printing at what looks to us like 8 LPI on the Okidata printer, and they
print at normal 6 LPI everywhere else. I can't imagine what setting in
the Okidata or the Client Access session could give different LPI. They
have no idea what paper is in the printer.

I've looked at the OCL and there is nothing different there that I can
find. In fact I am not even sure how I would use OCL to print 8 LPI.

Any suggestions, ideas, or glimmers of hope would be appreciated.
