- I am using a JDL 850 GL+ plotter/printer in my office with a dual bin
- feeder. I have used this quite easily with VAX/VMS printer queues
- to select between the bins for both plotting cad diagrams and also
- doing print outs. One bin ha 8.5x11 the other has "C" size paper.
-
- I have used both ARRIS CAD and AUTO CAD and have not had problems using
- dual sizes automaticaly.
-
- The problem I have run into with SAS is trying to get SAS to print the
- small "A" size chart starting at origin 0,0 on the plot A paper. When
-
- The following is the test I am running to try and plot correction.
- FILENAME GSASFILE 'TEST.JDL';
- GOPTIONS BORDER
- DEVICE=JDL850
- GSFNAME=GSASFILE
- GSFMODE=REPLACE;
-
- PROC GTESTIT PICTURE=1;
- RUN;
-
- The results I get is the JDL skips down about 8 inches and indents about
- 4 inches so that the bottom left corner of the test print starts in the lower
- right corner of the page, thus it overflows the page and also the top is cut
- off.
-
- Any suggestions would be helpfull. I have tried all of the HP plot
- defintions, and even started creating my own Device definition.
-
- NOTE: I have looked at the output file created by SAS. It appends a bunch
- of HP commands, that I am not sure about.
-
- ? means a mon printable character. Here is the first two lines of the output fi
- le.
