Re: Printer stopped doing autorotate -- MIDRANGE-L

Just looked at the DEVD. PRTQLTY is set to *STD. Tried to change, but that
parameter is not presented to change. Renamed the old DEVD, and tried to opy
to original name. Saw PRTQLTY parameter. But, cannot change it to *DRAFT. Attempting to do so produces an error.

Error text is:

Message . . . . : Print quality cannot be specified.
Cause . . . . . : Print quality (PRTQLTY parameter) can only be specified if
the device class (DEVCLS parameter) is local (*LCL) and the device type is
ASCII.
Recovery . . . : Remove the print quality (PRTQLTY parameter) value
specified. Then try the request again.

Quoting Wayne McAlpine <wayne.mcalpine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

John, there is no PAGRTT parameter on the device description. What that
means is that a default page rotation code will be sent to the device.

The default for PAGRTT is *AUTO, but it's interesting to note that this
only works if PRTQLTY is *DRAFT. If PRTQLTY is *STD, no rotation is
performed. If you want to insure that rotation is performed, specify
PAGRTT(*COR) on the CRTPRTF command; this will work regardless of the
PRTQLTY setting.

On my system, CHGPRTF does have PAGRTT parameter. It is currently set

Which makes me think that there is some parameter on the DEV command to
control this. But, it is not on either CHG or CRTDEVPRT. So, why does
CHGPRTF
have *DEVD for PAGRTT? Is there some other keyword on the CRT and CHG
commands
other than PAGRTT?

John,

It is not on the CRTDEVPRT or the CHGDEVPRT. The parm is associatted
with
the Print File, CRTPRTF, CHGPRTF or OVRPRTF.

Re: Printer stopped doing autorotate

That is what is bugging me. We are at V5R4. The PAGRTT parameter is not
showing on either CRTDEVPRT or CHGDEVPRT.

John McKee

Quoting Nick_Radich@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx:

On our box, at V4R5, the CRTPRTF cmd has a parm PAGRTT, which is about 5
pages into the command. The default is set to *AUTO.

The same is true for the CHGPRTF command, only with 4 pages/screens into
the command.

When you key in the command and prompt on it, you have to hit F10 to see
the rest of the parms.

Re: Printer stopped doing autorotate

The print file was changed, apparently, in August. Currently, PAGRTT
is set to
*DEVD. But, I don't see PAGRTT parameter when I use CHG or CRT

commands.

I just compared the retrieved source of the problem printer with one

that

appears to be working. No PAGRTT parm there either.

So, if the printer file states *DEVD for PAGRTT, what parameter is that?

John McKee

Quoting Nick_Radich@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx:

Hi John,

Has the PRTF been changed/recompiled? The PAGRTT parm might have been
changed then. Or, is there an OVRPRTF in the CL that was changed?

Thanx,

Nick

Printer stopped doing autorotate

I was called to look at a printer yesterday. Currently, it is printing

in

portrait mode, even though it should be printing this report in

landscape.

To
accomplish this, the font has been changed to a tiny font.

I was told that the printer had not been changed. I have been looking

at

the
setup page for it, a Lexmark Optra T610. Nothing there seems unusual.

According to the caller, the behavior changed in December. Lo and

behold,

the
device description has a change date in December.

I retrieved the source, but don't know what parameter is effecting this
behavior.

Can somebody point me to the parameter that is inhibiting page

rotation.

based
on the device description below?

Thanks!
