Printing On a Copier/Printer

Q:

AS/400, AS/400 print jobs, AS/400 print errors

OK. I have tried everything. We have envelopes that are 12 1/2 by 9 1/2. I generated a spool file with all the data I want on it. B/c of the size we have to put them in the manaul tray. When I do this it will not use the Page rotation. I tired going to drawer 1 and no rotation. Then I tried *E1. Now that worked BUT the data was either in the middle of the page or at the bottom of the page depending on if I used *AUTOCUT or *CUT. I also tried using raster mode with a work station config file. That rotated it but again the data not alligned right. Its almost like its right justified. Does anyone have any kind of ideas. I'm ready to try anything at this point.(except buying a software package). Thanks

I'll try since noone else did
You've got it rotated but it's not at the right location
Try
Front margin:
Offset down .
Offset across
Phil

Tried that... Nothing...
I did however fool it and put rotation of 270 and put the envelopes in the other way. That woks a little better but now not all the data is there. Weird. it almost like it only supports it so big in raster mode. That is the only way I can get it to print out semi fine....

Don't think I can help you..curious, how did you set the
Page size:
Page length .
Page width . .

I recently had to setup a WSCST for a client who needed to print on legal size paper pulling from the manual tray so I had to modify the :PAGSIZE and DATA string. I have modified the text I used and came up with the following for your use. I make no guarantee that this will work for you since I do not have the manufacture and model information of the system you are using. You may still have to do a rotation on the print file to get the correct orientation. I assume the print file you are using corresponds to the size you indicated.

Try adding the following and see if it makes a difference to the WSCST associated with the printer.


 :PAGSIZE                   /* 9.5" X 12.5" Custom form Pull from Manual Tray */   
   PAGWTH=13680
   PAGLEN=18000

Gary,
Its not a print file. Just a general spool file created in RPGLE.
That gives me a "Hexadecimal value on line 0160.00 not correct. " So I broke that up seperating the "1B" and tried each one. That still did not work. Its close I think. I still do not have the rest of the data on the right. The paper is 12.5 x 9.5 and I am using the HP5SI driver. Its a canon ir3035 printer. If I can just get the rest of the output to come out I think I can get it to work. Curently here is my workstation config and overide statment.
The *cut forces it to the manual tray. (*E1 also does this but that is for envelopes). I had to use page roation of 270 b/c if I don;t it will not print top left hand corner. I'm using rastermode set to YES.

Alos how do you figure the HEX decimal values to change them?

Thanks for all your help

Don't know but
'1B266C31303141B266C3248'X. <-- shouldn't that be an even number of digits??
I make it out to be 23 characters...
Phil

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks Phil

I left out the 8 before the second 1B. When I pasted them together I must have overlaid it and did not notice. I corrected the string above with the revision. ('1B266C313031481B266C3248'X.)

There are offset values on the printer file - don't know how those get transmitted
Front margin:
Offset down . . . . . . . . . 0-57.790
Offset across . . . . . . . . 0-57.790
Phil

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This parameter can only be used for printer files with
DEVTYPE(*AFPDS) specified. Mine is a regular printer file. Nothing special. I just want it to print right...lol

Thanks for all your help

Don't know but
'1B266C31303141B266C3248'X. <-- shouldn't that be an even number of digits?? 
I make it out to be 23 characters...
Phil

Thanks Phil

I left out the 8 before the second 1B. When I pasted them together I must have overlaid it and did not notice. I corrected the string above with the revision. ('1B266C313031481B266C3248'X.)

There are offset values on the printer file - don't know how those get transmitted
Front margin:                                            
  Offset down  . . . . . . . . .                 0-57.790
  Offset across  . . . . . . . .                 0-57.790
Phil

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This parameter can only be used for printer files with 
DEVTYPE(*AFPDS) specified. Mine is a regular printer file. Nothing special.  I just want it to print right...lol

You can find information on drawer selection on this web page Drawer Redirection for HP PCL5 Compatible Printers. It will give you the values to use depending on your selection. You may be able to get the PCL datastream information for you printer from Cannon.

On looking at your OVRPRTF I see that you have PAGESIZE(57 216) CPI(10) . At 6 lpi and 10 cpi I would expect you to have PAGESIZE(57 125). (12.5 X 10 = 125). Try changing this and if it does not work look at making the change to the WSCST I gave earlier.

On the overide I was just trying to get it to work. You never know what may work in some of these cases with printers. The Data tag ealier does not work. Is there a digit missing?

Hafwhit 630 pts. | Sep 18 2009 2:21PM GMT

Yes I made a mistake with the data tag and have corrected the missing character. See the answer section.

RonKoontz 1345 pts. | Sep 22 2009 5:38PM GMT

OK.. I got it to where it prints the correct way and all the data to the right. BUT now it truncates the data on the left. Its starting in position 50 instead of 1. So I thought I would out smart it and make my page size bigger. It then prints it upside down. I even have played with the page rotation. There has got to be away to position the page or something. Like tell it where to start on the page. Any ideas almighty RPGLE people?
