RE: Print left of margin

OK - Using a *WSCST (workstation customization object) does allow me to move
the print over to the far left of the page when changing the source of the
*WSCST.  Great!!!!  However I have to stop the writer and restart it and it
also move other prints from the 400 over to the left as well.  Does anyone
know if there is a way to attach this change only to a spooled file or
something like that???

I've tried to change the FRONTMGN parameter on the PRTF.  I've changed it to
0,0.  This puts the text right on the left margin of any printers default
margin.  However it needs to go more to the left.  Microsoft word can print
farther to the left, so the printer is capable of such a print.  I'm sure
word is using some type of printer driver.  The only thing I have seen is to
create a *WSCST object.  Is or has anyone used this option?

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but you could try defining 
the FRONTMGN and see if that will help....

Print left of margin






I need to be able to to print in a box on a form, that is only about an
1/8 of an inch from the left side of the paper.  Using a PRTF and AFPDS
I can print that close to the edge on the right side of the paper but
not on the left side.  Is there anything I can do on the PRTF compile or
something else on the 400 that can change the default settings of the
printer associated with the outq and allow for printing farther to the
left.  The form is called a UB04 form and is coming out soon.
