c.Click the Output tab, and select Head-to-Toein the Sides Imaged group box, and ASCII in the Format field.

d.Click the ASCII tab, and select the following:

•Font size

•Landscape orientation

(For further information on procedures for setting up a queue, click Help on the Queue Manager window.)

3.Run the job that you want to troubleshoot.

4.Terminate the dump session by clicking End on the Tape Client window.

5.Restore the original settings to the queue, or set up a separate dump queue to avoid constant modifications.
