File: Problems Printing Landscape with Custom Setup
Last reviewed: October 27, 1994

Article ID: Q65401

Summary:

In Microsoft File version 2.00, records with a custom setup size that have been formatted in landscape mode will print to an ImageWriter vertically the same length specified by Width in the Custom Setup dialog box (on the File menu). For example, in Custom Setup with a record 3 inches long and 2 inches high with landscape mode selected, the records will print only 2 inches of text vertically on the page even though the spacing between records will be 3 inches.

More Information:

With the ImageWriter driver selected under Chooser, File's Custom Setup defines length of text to be equivalent to the width of the custom paper size specified in the Width box. When Landscape is selected, the length of records is still equivalent to the width of the custom setup even though the records print vertically (relative to the setting in the Height box).

Note: This behavior does not occur on the LaserWriter because the specifications for Height and Width are interpreted as Width and Height, respectively, when Landscape is selected.
