Hey Paul, Do you (or anyone else) know how to tell a LaserJet to draw paper from a specific tray?

I saw a couple of suggestions in the emails, here's my 2 cents for a program that will set the setting for an HP Laserjet. Note, we have a printer definitions files where you enter the 'hex' codes for the escape sequences to setup the printer and a hex escape sequence to return the printer to the default settings. This is very nice as the user logs on he has a default printer, he can change the printer (from a menu), or a process can be defined to use only the specified printer. Anyway, when user prints the 'software' know which printer is to be used and sends the 'setup' escape sequence and when the print job is complete the 'software' sends the 'reset' escape sequence to the printer. Here is an example program for this and at the end a list of hex commands for a few HP Laserjet and Epson LQ printers - these are old lists and hopefully contain the correct codes. ** PROGRAM : SETUP.HP.LASERJET ** PURPOSE : Send Escape Codes to HP LaserJet ** INPUT ANS ** GOT.CODE=0 BEGIN CASE CASE ANS="L" ; CODE="1B266C314F" ; GOT.CODE=1 ;* Set Landscape mode CASE ANS="P" ; CODE="1B266C304F" ; GOT.CODE=1 ;* Set Portrait mode CASE ANS="R" ; CODE="1B45" ; GOT.CODE=1 ;* Reset to Default CASE 1 END CASE IF GOT.CODE THEN PRINT ICONV(CODE,'MX'): END * END HP LASERJET HEX COMMAND: DESCRIPTION: 1B45 Reset 1B266C314F Landscape 1B266C304F Portrait 1B283855 HP Roman8 1B28733070 Fixed Spacing 31302E303068 10.00 Characters per Inch 31322E3076 12.0 Point Size 3073 Upright Style 3062 Normal Stroke Weight 3354 Courier Typeface 1B266C3644 6 Lines per Inch 1B266C3145 1 line Top Margin 1B266C343946 49 lines Text Length 1B266C363446 64 lines Text Length EPSON LQ and compatible printers HEX COMMAND: DESCRIPTION: Here is a breakdown of what each of these codes mean: 1B40 ====> RESET/INITIALIZE PRINTER 1B50 ====> SELECT PICA PRINT (10 CPI) 1B0F ====> SELECT COMPRESSED PRINT (17 CPI) 1B7830 ==> SELECT DRAFT FONT 1B7831 ==> SELECT NLQ (NEAR-LETTER-QUALITY) FONT 1B4315 ==> SET 21 LINES/PAGE (WHERE 15 HEX = 21 DEC) 1B4316 ==> SET 22 LINES/PAGE (WHERE 16 HEX = 22 DEC) 1B4321 ==> SET 33 LINES/PAGE (WHERE 21 HEX = 33 DEC) 1B432A ==> SET 42 LINES/PAGE (WHERE 2A HEX = 42 DEC) 1B4333 ==> SET 51 LINES/PAGE (WHERE 33 HEX = 51 DEC) 1B433C ==> SET 60 LINES/PAGE (WHERE 3C HEX = 60 DEC) 1B4342 ==> SET 66 LINES/PAGE (WHERE 42 HEX = 66 DEC) 1B4F ====> DISABLE SKIP OVER PERFORATION MODE 0D ======> CARRIAGE RETURN (FLUSH BUFFER, PROCESS COMMAND) An example of a program to set an HP Laserjet printer to Landscape and then to Reset printer back: > Paul Trebbien > Kore Technologies, Senior Support Tech. > "Solutions that work.

LPTR" command line to spool the output to the default printer. However, the results are too wide for portrait orientation and was wanting to find a way to set the orientation with SETPTR prior to the execution of the LIST statement. I tried to use the following statement but that doesn't seem to change the default orientation of the printer: UDTEXECUTE 'SETPTR 0,,,,,1,,"Orientation=LANDSCAPE"' CAPTURING ASPMSG More code pasted below: 095: * 096: *-- SELECTION 097: * 098: PRINT @(0,21):@(-4):"Sort/Select in progress..." 099: START.DATE=OCONV(START.DATE,'D2/') 100: END.DATE=OCONV(END.DATE,'D2/') 101: INIT.CMD='SELECT JOB.MATL WITH' 102: IF START.PERIOD # END.PERIOD THEN 103: INIT.CMD := ' CONO_WPER GE "':CONO:START.PERIOD:'" AND WITH CONO_WPER LE "':CONO:END.PERIOD:'"' 104: END ELSE 105: INIT.CMD := ' CONO_WPER EQ "':CONO:START.PERIOD:'"' 106: END 107: UDTEXECUTE INIT.CMD CAPTURING ASPMSG 108: * 109: UDTEXECUTE 'SETPTR 0,,,,,1,,"Orientation=LANDSCAPE"' CAPTURING ASPMSG 110: CMD = 'LIST JOB.MATL BY CTR BY JOB BY PERIOD BY DATE BY TRANS WITH' 111: IF DEPT.IN <http://DEPT.IN> # 'ALL' THEN 112: CMD:=' JMT.DEPT = "':DEPT.IN:'"' 113: IF DEPT.IN <http://DEPT.IN> = '23' THEN 114: CMD:=' AND WITH GJOB.CHECK # ""' 115: CMD:=' AND WITH P.QTY > "0"' 116: END 117: END 118: IF START.DATE NE END.DATE THEN 119: CMD:=' AND WITH DATE GE "':START.DATE:'" AND WITH DATE LE "':END.DATE: '"' 120: END ELSE 121: CMD:=' AND WITH DATE EQ "':START.DATE:'"' 122: END 123: IF BEG.JOB.NUM # "ALL" THEN 124: CMD:=' AND WITH JOB GE "':BEG.JOB.NUM:'" AND WITH JOB LE "': END.JOB.NUM:'"' 125: END 126: CMD:=' ID-SUPP' 127: IF DEPT.IN <http://DEPT.IN> = 'ALL' THEN 128: CMD:=' BREAK-ON NP-DIV.DESC "':"'V'":'"' 129: CMD:=' BREAK-ON NP-JOB.DESC "':"'V'":'"' 130: END 131: CMD:=' JOB PROD JMT.R.S.ID <http://JMT.R.S.ID> WHSE CTR TYP CUST TRANS PERIOD DATE RC.JOB RC.TRAN' 132: CMD:=' TOTAL P.QTY TOTAL S.QTY UM TOTAL MATL.COST TOTAL SALE' 133: CMD:=' HEADING "':"'TLC'":' JOB MATERIAL HISTORY REPORT ':"'LC'" 134: CMD:=' PERIOD ':START.PERIOD:' THUR ':END.PERIOD:' - DATE ':START.DATE 135: CMD:=' THROUGH ':END.DATE:" 'L'":'" GRAND-TOTAL' 136: CMD:=' " TOTAL FOR COMPANY - ':"'U'":'"' 137: CMD:=' LPTR ' 138: EXECUTE CMD CAPTURING ERRMSG I've checked numerous manuals and reference materials I have readily available to me and can't seem to find a decent example of what I'm trying to accomplish. I know I could re-write this report to not use the "LIST ... LPTR" statement but instead use PRINTER ON, PRINT, and PRINTER OFF commands...wanted to try avoid having to re-write the report at the present time though.
