Page Layout Page (Printer Session Properties Dialog Box)

5250

Use this page to configure the page layout for the host report.

Note:

The options available on this page are ignored unless the Use Windows Printing option on the Printer Destination Page (Printer Session Properties Dialog Box) is selected and the Spool Job Directly option is cleared.

Layout Using—Specifies the type of settings to use when printing data.

: Use Font Info Only—Selects the font style and size for the printed data. In this mode, the selected font and font size—as well as the size of the paper loaded in the actual printer—determine the quantity of text that is printed on each page. When selected, the font information you choose when clicking the Font button is used, but the Page Format settings are ignored.

: Use Page Format Info—Specifies the dimensions of the report in columns and rows, as well as the size of the margins. When selected, the Page Format settings override the font size you choose when clicking the Font button. For example, this option lets you specify that you want 80 columns, 54 rows, a one-inch margin top and bottom, and a half-inch margin left and right. HostExplorer will select a font size and spacing to create a printout with the characteristics specified.

Margins—Specifies the print margins in inches.

Page Format—Controls the size of the printout when the Use Page Format info layout is selected. The system uses the font name (not size) selected and creates a font that fits the specified number of rows and columns.

Orientation—Selects the orientation of the print job. This overrides the value selected in the Printer Setup dialog box.

Printer Font—Displays the currently selected font name. It also displays the currently selected font size if you selected Use Font Info Only from the Layout Using list.

Defaults—Resets all options to their system default.

Font—Selects the font for the print jobs. If the layout mode is Use Page Format info, then only the Font name is used. The Font Size parameter is ignored because HostExplorer generates a font to fit the specified number of rows and columns. If the layout mode is Use Font Info Only, all parameters are used and the paper size, margins, and the font size determine the number of rows and columns.
