- Fellow MacAppers:
-
- I am trying to use preprinted forms for printing and have some questions
- about paper sizes other than the standards offered by page setup. The
- particular form I am using is 8 1/2" wide by 8" long on continuous feed paper.
- In addition, it is sometimes desirable to separate the forms and load them into
- the Laserwriter for printing. My question is how do you safely set the page
- size within the confines of MacApp. I have tried creatively setting the
- margins so that every line on the paper could be used vertically, but this did
- not work. Since the page length is still set at 11" and the printer believes
- there is a portion of the page that just can't be printed on, there are gaps at
- 11" intervals.
-
- The view being printed is a TTEView with text that has been inserted and
- formatted for 8" long forms by the application. It seems that
- TStdPrintHandler.CheckPrinter is the bottleneck for setting up the page
- rectangles within fPageAreas. This looks like the method to override and modify
- but what exactly must be done so that everyone ( the Print Manager and MacApp )
- is happy? If you have any ideas or have tackled this issue a reply would be
- greatly appreciated.
-
- Thanks,
-
