CHAPTER 9 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION

Eliminating Blank Pages

When printing through VMS, a blank page is often printed after each job. To eliminate this blank page, first create a text file with the following contents:

<ESC>]VMS;2<ESC>\

where <ESC> is the escape character (ASCII 27) and "VMS" is in uppercase. Then insert this file into your default library (normally SYSDEVCTL.TLB), and specify it as a setup module in your form (stop and reset all queues that use the library before doing this procedure). For example:

$LIB/INS SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSLIB]SYSDEVCTL.TLB NOBL $DEF/FORM PCL/SETUP=NOBL

The above example inserts the file NOBL.TXT into the default library and then redefines the form PCL (previously defined in step 4) to eliminate blank pages.

This procedure is not required for DECprint Supervisor (DCPS).
