═══ 1. Program overview ═══ The OPUS Print Subsystem lets you view and print OPUS print files. Formatting and font changes can also be performed. Furthermore, you can view and change OPUS print styles. The OPUS Print Subsystem is an extension of the OPUS program. However, it is a separate, independent program and can be used when OPUS is not active. For exampl, a series of print files can first be generated and the OPUS Print Subsystem then used to display and print the files, without requiring OPUS to be active. The OPUS Print Subsystem is started by OPUS when necessary after the Print function has been invoked. Each print request generates an ASCII file with the name 'nnn.ODR', where 'nnn' is a 3-digit number. The number 'nnn' ensures that the name is unique. Normally, the "Automatically open files" option is active, causing the OPUS Print Subsystem to periodically scan the program directory for .ODR files. If such a file exists, it is opened, and the file content is shown in the OPUS Print Subsystem main window, which pops up over the OPUS window. After the file has been viewed and possibly printed, you can return to OPUS. When printing a graphic such as a Gantt chart, a network diagram, or a calendar, a metafile (extension '.MET') is also generated. In this case, the .ODR file contains a reference to the metafile. The metafile contains the graphic commands used to display the graphic in OPUS. When the file is read by the OPUS Print Subsystem these commands are re-issued and the graphic is reproduced. The .ODR file also contains a reference to a print style. A style is an ASCII file with the extension '.ODF'. The formatting information it contains can be viewed in the OPUS Print Subsystem and modified if desired before printing. The OPUS Print Subsystem prevents any attempt to start more than one copy of the program. ═══ 2. Main Window ═══ Select a topic: o Program overview o File menu o Style menu o Zoom menu o Options menu ═══ 2.1. File menu ═══ This menu allows you to: 1. Open and close print files 2. Print 3. Select or set up a printer 4. Define the layout of the printed page 5. Exit the program Overview Open Displays the standard Open dialog for selection of a print file. The Automatically open files option must be off for this menu item to be active. Close Closes the current print file Print Produces a printout from the current print file. Printer setup Displays the Select printer dialog for selecting and/or setting up a printer. Page setup Displays the Page setup dialog for defining the page layout. Exit The program is terminated. ═══ 2.1.1. Open menu item ═══ Click on this menu item, enabled when the Automatically open files is off, to open a print file manually. The Open dialog is displayed. By default, only files with the extension 'ODR' are listed. These are file that have been generated by the Print function in OPUS. The name of the file is shown in the title bar of the window. If necessary, change directories. Open the print file by double-clicking on the list entry or by clicking on OK. The Automatically open files option must be off for this menu item to be enabled. ═══ 2.1.2. File/Close menu item ═══ This menu item closes the currently displayed print file. A dialog gives you the opportunity to delete, rename, or simply close the file. If the file has an 'ODR' extension and the Automatically open files option is active, the file must either be deleted or renamed, since it would otherwise be selected again by the automatic opening mechanism. Automatic file opening can be inactivated if it is desired to retain the 'ODR' extension. In renaming, the file must not have an extension beginning with 'OD'. ═══ 2.1.3. File/Print menu item ═══ This menu item lets you print all or selected pages of a print file. The subsequently displayed Print dialog lets you define the page range: either 'All' or a range designated by the fields "From" and "To". The preset page number in these fields is that of the current page. ═══ 2.1.4. File/Printer setup menu item ═══ When this menu item is selected, a dialog appears in which you can select another printer or view or update various printer settings such as page orientation (portrait/landscape). ═══ 2.1.5. File/Page setup menu item ═══ Selection of this menu item is followed by display of a dialog allowing you to select a form or change the margin settings. ═══ 2.1.6. File/Exit menu item ═══ This menu item exits the program. ═══ 2.2. Style menu ═══ This menu supports the maintenance and application of print styles. Overview Apply If a print file is open, another style can be selected. If no print file is open, this menu item is disabled. Update If a print file is open, the current style is shown. The latter can be modified as desired. If no print file is open, a list of styles is shown for selection. Create If no print file is open, you can create a style via this menu item. ═══ 2.2.1. Style/Apply menu item ═══ If a print file is open, another style can be selected. If no print file is open, this menu item is disabled. ═══ 2.2.2. Style/Update menu item ═══ If a print file is open, the current style is displayed. It can then be modified as desired. If no print file is open, a list of styles is shown for selection. ═══ 2.2.3. Style/Create menu item ═══ If no print file is open, you can create a style via this menu item. ═══ 2.3. Zoom menu ═══ This menu allows you to enlarge or reduce the display. Overview 50% Shows an entire graphic on a scale of 1:4. Note that the grid in the background represents the area on each page which is available for the graphic, not the whole page. The page margins will cause the printed graphic to be segmented. 100% Shows the entire page. The scale with this option is 1:2. 200% Enlarges the page such that it is approximately the size it will have when printed. ═══ 2.3.1. Zoom/50% menu item ═══ The entire graphic is shown in overview form. The background shows the limits of the area available to the graphic on each page (as opposed to the total page area). Due to the page margins, the printed graphic will be segmented. The Style dialog lets you modify the page configuration or orientation so that the graphic is optimally positioned and the area is used to the best advantage. Note that the graphic is generally scaled to fit the available area. However, the aspect ratio of the graphic is maintained, so that the longer dimension determines the final size. This menu item is enabled only for print files containing a reference to a metafile. ═══ 2.3.2. Zoom/100% menu item ═══ Shows the entire page. The scale with this option is 1:2. ═══ 2.3.3. Zoom/200% menu item ═══ Enlarges the page shown such that it is approximately the size it will have when printed. ═══ 2.4. Options menu ═══ This menu allows you to set or reset program options. Each selection of these menu items toggles the respective condition. Overview Automatically open files Enables the automatic opening of OPUS print files (extension 'ODR') in the current directory. Automatically delete files Enables the automatic deletion of files after they are printed. ═══ 2.4.1. Options/Automatically open files menu item ═══ Enables the automatic opening of OPUS print files (extension 'ODR') in the current directory. If no print file is open, the program searches the current directory at fixed intervals for a file with an 'ODR' extension. Only when this option is enabled is there an automatic link between OPUS and the print subsystem: when OPUS creates a print file, it will be automatically opened and displayed by the print subsystem. If the option is disabled, the print files are still created, but they are not displayed. Display can take place at some later time by enabling the option or by opening the files manually via the menu item 'File/Open'. Print files are not necessarily opened and displayed in the order they were created in OPUS. Depending on the extent to which previous files were deleted or renamed, the sequence for display can vary. This option is stored in the OPUS initialization file and is set to its previous value at program startup. If a print file is open, automatic file opening is disabled. It is re-enabled (if applicable) when the file is closed. The option is also disabled if an error occurs when reading a file. This prevents repeated attempts by the program to open the file. ═══ 2.4.2. Options/Automatically delete files menu item ═══ Enables the automatic deletion of print files after printing. If this option is disabled, you will be prompted to confirm that the file should be deleted. This option is stored in the OPUS initialization file and is set to its previous value at program startup. ═══ 2.5.

Messages ═══ ═══ 4.1. Message ═══ Explanation: During an attempt to terminate the program, an internal process was indicated as still in progress. Response: If repeatedly pressing "Cancel" leads to this message, click on "Yes". The process in question usually has terminated, and the application can be closed without any side effects. ═══ 4.2. Message ═══ Explanation: A new style can be loaded only if a print file is not open. Response: 1. Disable the Automatically open files option in the Options menu. 2. Close the current print file. 3. Repeat the original style request. ═══ 4.3. Message ═══ Explanation: The font you specified could not be loaded. Instead, OS/2 has selected a replacement font. Response: Check that the font was properly selected. ═══ 4.4. Message ═══ Explanation: The printer specified in the style being loaded is not the currently selected printer. Special settings (such as landscape mode) may have to be performed. Printer settings are stored in the OPUS initialization file (OPUS.INI) and remain in effect across multiple OPUS Print Subsystem sessions until a new printer is selected. If that happens, you may have to activate certain printer settings (such as landscape mode) if they are not the defaults. Response: Set up the printer by clicking on 'Job properties' in the Select printer dialog. ═══ 4.5. Message ═══ Explanation: An error occurred when loading a style (possibly the style associated with the current print file). The style cannot be used. Response: 1. Ensure that the style (file name '.ODF') is present in the current directory. If this is not the case, restore the file. 2. Otherwise, print the file and contact Alpha International. ═══ 4.6. Message ═══ Explanation: You are asked to confirm that an existing style should be overwritten. Response: If you reply 'No', the style on disk remains unchanged. ═══ 4.7. Message ═══ Explanation: The standard unit of measurement defined in the system is not the same as that in the style. In the style, margin settings, for example, are given either in inches or in centimeters. The system measurement unit is used when these are displayed in dialogs. The specified values will be converted as necessary, but the saved style is not updated automatically. Response: If the style conversion changes should be saved, invoke the menu item Style/Update and click on "Save". If, on the other hand, the system unit of measurement is incorrect, select the 'Country' object in the 'System' folder and make the change. Then restart the OPUS Print Subsystem. ═══ 4.8. Message ═══ Explanation: An extension starting with "OD" is not permitted. Otherwise, this file might be treated by OPUS as an internal control file. Response: Enter a different extension. ═══ 4.9. Message ═══ Explanation: A file you specified does not exist. Response: Correct the file name entry, if necessary. If the file is in another directory, switch to that directory. ═══ 4.10. Message ═══ Explanation: When changing printers, the program attempts to select the previously selected form for the new printer. That form is not defined, however. Response: The Page setup dialog will be displayed to let you select a form. ═══ 4.11. Message ═══ Explanation: The internal maximum number of styles are present in the current directory. Any additional styles are not listed. ═══ 4.12. Message ═══ Explanation: The printer driver servicing the queue has been changed since the last session. The print job properties stored in the OPUS initialization file must therefore be considered invalid and will be discarded. Response: Redefine the job properties as required. To do this, click on "Job properties" in the Select printer. dialog. ═══ 4.13. Message ═══ Explanation: A memory allocation failure occurred when attempting to load fonts. Response: System error. Please contact Alpha International. ═══ 4.14. Message ═══ Explanation: No matching fonts could be found. Response: System error. Report the error to Alpha International. ═══ 4.15. Message ═══ Explanation: There are no print queues currently defined. The print and printer setup functions will be disabled. Response: Define at least one print queue. Restart the print subsystem. ═══ 4.16. Message ═══ Explanation: A print job failed because no pages were printed. Response: Ensure that the page range was specified correctly. ═══ 4.17. Message ═══ Explanation: An error was encountered opening or reading the print file, or an associated metafile or style. Either the file cannot be recognized as an OPUS file, or it is either defective or busy. The "Automatically open files" option has been disabled to prevent the error from occurring repeatedly. Response: Restore the file, or ensure that the file is no longer busy. A metafile has the same name as the print file but with extension 'MET' rather than 'ODR'. ═══ 4.18. Message ═══ Explanation: A system error was encountered when attempting to rename a file. Renaming has failed. Normally, the reason is that a file already exists with this name. Response: Enter a different file name, or first delete the existing file. ═══ 4.19. Message ═══ Explanation: There are too many fonts defined. Response: System error. Please contact Alpha International. ═══ 4.20. Message ═══ Explanation: The form you selected is not the same as the one defined for the printer as the "current form". Response: Ensure that the form specification is correct. ═══ 4.21. Message ═══ Explanation: At least one line of a multi-line field in the print file (usually a free-form field such as 'Notes') exceeds the length of the form. The remainder is truncated. Response: 1. If not already selected, try setting the printer to landscape mode. 2. In OPUS, separate the text into multiple lines. ═══ 5. Terms ═══ Click on a term: Print file Style Metafile Extended pages ═══ ═══ An ASCII file created by the OPUS program that is formatted, displayed, and printed by the OPUS Print Subsystem. The print file has an 'ODR' extension. A metafile (extension 'MET') is associated with a print file representing a graphic ═══ ═══ A file that stores formatting information. This file is loaded as a result of either being referenced in a print file or being selected by you for display or update. A style has an 'ODF' extension. ═══ ═══ A file containing graphic commands. It is essentially a recording of the original graphic output. This recording can be played back in another program, thereby reproducing the graphic. The OPUS Print Subsystem processes OPUS-generated metafiles representing calendars, Gantt charts, and network diagrams. A metafile has the extension 'MET'. ═══ ═══ A form of representing lists in which entries longer than the page length are extended over multiple pages horizontally. The corresponding form of representation formats such an entry in multiple lines on the same page.
