5.8.2AUTOMATIC PRINT ORIENTATION

If no page rotation was specified on the host, the PQ-8’s Automatic Print Orientation (APO) feature is the first setting to determine the final print orientation. This feature automatically rotates print jobs with dimensions of 8.5 x 14 inches or smaller to portrait or landscape orientation.

a. With the APO feature ON, the PQ-8 first checks the dimensions of the host print job. If the print job is larger than 8.5 x 14 inches, the PQ-8 cannot fit the print job on one page. In this case the orientation of the print job is determined by the print orientation setting on the interface (BLOCK 3).

b. If the dimensions of the print job are 8.5 x 14 inches or smaller, the PQ-8 compares the width to the height and automatically rotates the print job to portrait if the height is larger than the width or landscape if the width is larger than the height.

The dimensions of a word- processing document are specified directly through the document format menu. The dimensions of a data processing report are calculated in the following manner:

Width = Page Width (in number of columns) / CPI

Length = Page Length (in number of lines) / LPI

5.8.3PRINT-ORIENTATION SETTINGS

The PQ-8’s print-orientation settings determine the orientation of the host document/report after the host’s page-rotation setting and the PQ-8’s APO setting have been obeyed.

The available print-orientation settings are portrait, landscape, and two COR options. The COR feature rotates documents to landscape orientation and compresses the font as needed to fit the complete document on a standard 8.5" x 14" page. This allows the user to print a report initially designed to fit on 14 7/8" x 11" green bar paper onto a standard letter- or legal-size page without redesigning the report.

When used together, the APO and COR features can be a powerful tool to print host jobs in portrait, landscape, or if required in landscape with reduced font (COR) without user intervention.
