Orientation using PCL

[williyam]

Hi - I hope someone can help.

I am using PCL commands to print information in a program. Sometimes I need to rotate the text and such so I use the PCL command e/c&a#P where # is the degrees of rotation from 0-360 in steps of 90 degrees.

This works fine for 0, 90, 180 and 360 but 270 prints incorrectly (correct rotation but wrong side of paper).

Has anyone else noticed this - do you know a cause or soloution?

Cheers.

Will

Found the solution. I was setting left and right margins when I setup the printer. These were causing the paper to be reduced in width when the paper was rotated - so the 270 degrees text was off the paper.
