COMPUTER OUTPUT REDUCTION (COR), HP EMULATION

The landscape printing capability of the HP LaserJet emulation enables the interface to automatically print traditional data processing reports requiring 66 lines by 132 columns or 198 columns of data on 8.5 x 11.0 inch paper.

When Command 60 selects HP LaserJet protocol and APO is active (Command

61)and COR is selected for the paper source specified (Commands 62-64), the following format changes are automatically made to data processing reports:

The Page is printed in landscape orientation.

Vertical line height is 70% of that specified.

A 0.5 inch blank area is provided on the top and left edge of the paper.

The selected font is changed, as follows:

10 pitch to 13.3 pitch

12 pitch to 15 pitch

15 pitch to 19 pitch

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 LUl (SCS) data streams.

Some data processing applications will not allow the user to insert the data stream commands required to achieve orientation and format selection, Where the insertion of the required data stream commands is not possible, the user can select the orientation and format desired by using the interface’s default

configuration settings. Use of the Write Control Character (WCC) in the DSC/DSE data streams for orientation and format selection is not recommended.

Using the HP LaserJet emulation, the COR feature enables 132 column X 66 line and 198 column X 66 line data processing reports to be printed on 8 1/2" X 11" paper in landscape orientation. This enables a tremendous amount of data to be stored in ordinary file cabinet drawers and a staple on the edge of the pages will secure the sequence of the pages.
