= SUMMARY =

When you print to the Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet printer, there are two ways to enter the code to print in a landscape orientation.

Method 1
Enter the following code under Print Options Setup

[E[&&l1O

where the character after the second ampersand (&) is a lowercase L, the second-to-the-last character is the number one, and the final character is the capital letter O (not a zero). There are two ampersands so that Multiplan does not recognize the original as a reserved character.

Method 2
Enter the code in the first cell of the spreadsheet:


 * 1) Select the first cell in the worksheet.
 * 2) Press A for Alpha.
 * 3) Press CTRL+SHIFT+B (all three keys at the same time).
 * 4) Press a left bracket, “[”.
 * 5) Press a capital E.
 * 6) Press CTRL-SHIFT-B again.
 * 7) Press a left bracket, “[”.
 * 8) Press an ampersand, “&”.
 * 9) Press a lowercase L, “l”.
 * 10) Press the number one, “1”.
 * 11) Press a capital letter O.
 * 12) Press the ENTER key.

Note that when the code is entered in a cell, the ampersand does not have to be doubled as it does when entered under Print Options Setup.
