A/C-7P RO, A/C-7S RO
A combination of control codes in
the printer data stream and the
settings in the configuration are
used to determine page orientation
when processing DSC, DSE, or LU1
(SCS) data streams.
Some applications will not allow
you to insert the data stream
commands required to select
orientation and format. Where the
insertion of the required data stream
commands is not possible, you can
select the orientation and format
desired by using the printer
configuration settings. Use of the
Write Control Character (WCC) in
the DSC/DSE data streams for
orientation and format selection is
not recommended.
5.7 Automatic Print Orientation
(APO)
When Automatic Print Orientation
(APO) is activated (command 61,
value 1), the A/C-7 (RO) notes the
format of the print image and
calculates the required print
dimensions. Figure 5-1 shows how
the page size determines the
orientation for coax COR.
If a calculated paper size is larger
than 8 1/2" x 11", the paper-tray
orientation selection (commands 62-
64) determines the orientation.
In LU3 (DSC/DSE) mode, the
values used in the calculations are
specified by the A/C-7 RO’s active
configuration selections. In LUl
(SCS) mode, the values are specified
in the data stream by the SCS
controls. If a value has not been set
in the SCS data stream, the A/C-7
RO’s active configuration is used
instead.
The APO feature also uses the
calculated print width and length to
determine the print orientation
when the dimensions are less than 8
1/2" x 11". When the width is
greater than the length and APO is
active, the document prints in
landscape, even if the font is
specified as portrait.
The following steps describe
printing with the APO feature (refer
to Figure 5-1).
1.If APO is not active (command
61, value 0), the A/C-7 RO uses
the paper source selections
(commands 62-64) to control
orientation in the active font. If
APO is active, the report
continues to block 2.
2.The A/C-7 RO calculates the
page size. If the page size is more
than 8 1/2" x 11" the interface
uses the paper source selections
to control the orientation in the
active font. If the report is less
than 8 1/2" x 11" it continues to
block 3.
3.At block 3, the interface checks
the length and width. If the
report is longer than it is wide, it
prints in portrait. If the report is
wider than it is long, the report
prints in landscape.
