Forms printing

[jmmckee <jmmckee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Two direct questions:

1)  I compile the printer file with 12 CPI instead of the default 10.  Most things fit nicely.  One field is rotated 90 degrees.  It is a bit tiny.  What keyword would I use on that field to make it print larger?

2)  For a duplex form, are two writes used to get the back to print?


Now, a seemingly off-the-wall question:  Forms are printed now by a Lexmark printer, if it has a special forms chip installed.  Is there any way to maybe get that file out of the printer without it printing and then rescanning it?  I have been given multiple scanned versions of this stupid form.  All >slightly< different.  Bad enough that I have to use the POSITION keyword on every field, in CM units, without having to keep repositioning previous data.  I have over a hundred fields to position.   have only managed to get maybe 20 so far.  Every scan does something to the height and width.  Thus, my curiousity as to whether the Lexmark >might< store the merged file somewheer internally until printed.  FTP right now shows only a single directory, and no read access - just write.  Maybe the merged file gets dropped there.  Or not.  I just don't know a command to change the access to the directory to make it readable, if such exists.

Anyway, apologies for bringing up this topic again.
