SET-LPTR Proc

The SET-LPTR Proc defines the printer page width and depth.

Format

SET-LPTR

Description

After the SET-LPTR Proc is invoked, the system prompts for a printer page width in the range from 16 through 156 characters and a printer page depth in the range from 0 through 132 lines.

If the user does not enter a value for these parameters, the system assumes a default width of 140 characters and a default depth of 60 lines.

Setting Up the Line Printer

The following example defines a printer page width of 130 characters and a page depth of 55 lines:

>SET-LPTR

PRINTER PAGE WIDTH (# COLUMNS)?130

PRINTER PAGE DEPTH (# LINES)?55

   TERMINAL PRINTER

PAGE WIDTH:     79      130

PAGE DEPTH:     24       55

LINE SKIP :      0

LF DELAY  :      1

FF DELAY  :      5

BACKSPACE :      8

TERM TYPE :      V

After the printer page parameters have been defined, the system automatically displays the current settings for the TERM command.
