The Question is: How do I configure a LN17 to print in landscape? The Answer is :
With the OpenVMS DCPS package installed for Postscript printing (and
with supported Postscript printers), you can use PRINT qualifiers such
as: /PARAMETER=(PAGE_ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE). This assumes this LN17
is the Postscript variant.
With a PCL-compatible printing device, the sequences used to control
portrait and landscape orientation are organized as follows:
Esc & l Ps O
Where Esc is the ASCII escape character, the ampersand character, a
lowercase l, the selector, and an uppercase O character. Ps is the
selector; Ps is the character 0 for Portrait and 1 for Landscape.
There are no space characters in this sequence. As with various
similar mechanisms, these sequences are often case-sensitive.
This sequence assumes a PCL printer, and various LN17 printers use PCL.
For information on printer device control libraries, please see topics
such as (1020), and see the related referenced topics.
