6.4.9VIEWING AND CHANGING PAGE-ROTATION SETTINGS

Before changing page-rotation settings, first verify the current settings. In OfficeVision/400 and DisplayWrite/36, take these steps to view (and change) page-rotation settings:

1.Press [F20], “Format options.”

2.Press [1], “Document options,” then [ENTER].

3.Press [1], “Document format,” then [ENTER].

4.Press [4], “Page layout/paper options,” then [ENTER].

5.Press [Page Down] to scroll to the second screen.

6.Locate the “Rotate Paper . . .” option.

7.To change the currently selected rotation setting, move the cursor to this setting and type in the desired value.

Be sure to consider how changing the page rotation will affect print orientation (see Section 6.4.8).

To permanently change the page-rotation setting for a data processing report, the print file must be changed. This should be done by an MIS staff member, since a changed print file most likely affects many printers.

Alternatively, the page-rotation setting can be changed temporarily by overriding the print file. The print file must be changed or overridden before the host creates the print job. An overridden print file applies only to print jobs created on the host session that was active when the print file was overridden.

To view the current print file settings, type “CHGPRTF,” followed by a space and the name of the print file, on the command line of the host. Press [F4]. Do not change any settings unless authorized by the MIS director.

To change the print file:

1.Type “CHGPRTF” on the command line of the host, then press [ENTER].

2.Type in the name of the print file to be changed.

3.Press [F10] to display additional parameters.

4.Press [Page Down] to scroll to the fourth screen.

5.Locate the “Degree of page rotation . . .” option.
