HP4000tn - landscape 14cpi and 3hole

[Brad Marks]

Im using an HP k-420 running HP-UX 10.2 and try to submit a print job with the following syntax:

-dmis -s -o3hole -olandscape -olpi8 -olm6 -ofp14 -ocs8U -oduplex -otl60

If I remove the "-o3hole" it works fine but, with -o3hole, the fontsize is 10 and, thus, 132 characters will not fit on the page.
Further, while the first 60 lines look great on page 1, page 2 (the flip side, since I'm using duplex)begins with line 62 (61 is simply gone) and line 62 has the top third of all characters chopped off.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Brad

Hi Brad,

I would also post this question in the HP-UX section of these ITRC forums. Here's a link to that site:

Good luck!

Hello Brad,

What PCL command is sent for "-o3hole"? If it sets pitch to 10 CPI, then perhaps you can follow that with a command to reset the pitch smaller? The PCL command for pitch is

Ec(s0p##H

where "0p" sets fixed-spacing and ## is the CPI. Also, you can avoid printing in the unprintable area between pages by enabling perforation-skip mode. The PCL command is
