RE: RICOH WSCST object

Scott,

Using spool files in QEZJOBLOG as test spool files:

The original *WSCST object pulls from drawer 2, prints in landscape.

The modified *WSCST object pulls from drawer 1, prints in portrait

The goal is to make drawer 1, look like drawer 2 in all respects.

Michael

Michael,

You shouldn't have to change your WSCST to get portrait/landscape to
work right. These are the same on all PCL printers (unlike paper
drawers), so the stock WSCST should be fine.

You should be able to code the "Page Rotation" (PAGRTT) keyword on the
CRTPRTF or OVRPRTF command in your programs to control the page
rotation.

It can be PAGRTT(0), PAGRTT(90), PAGRTT(180) or PAGRTT(270). The number
is a number of degrees of rotation... I believe PAGRTT(0) is portrait,
and PAGRTT(270) is landscape. But, you can experiment to get the right
value.

Any suggestions on how to accomplish this would be appreciated.

Thanks Scott for your assistance.

Hi Michael,

I am trying to make *RICOHSP6330N printer pull paper from the manual
feed tray. I have tried several combinations of changes the :DWRSLT
parms will no success.

I'm not familiar with the *RICOHSP6330N. I've worked with other Ricoh

printers, though -- primarily the Aficio 2035. (Which is getting old,
now!)

When I started working with this stuff in 2005, Ricoh sent me a manual

with their PCL code specification. Not sure if it still applies to
today's printers, but it says this:

Paper Source Command is ESC& l<opt> H , where<opt> corresponds to
an option. Then, there's a table that lists the options.

The possible<opt> values for manual sheet feeder appear to be 2, 3
and 6.

I'm not exactly sure what you've tried, but in the example you posted
with the<<<<< marks, neither of them looks like a paper source

command.

The first one, '1B266C3768314F'X, is ESC& l 7 o 1 O. I have no
idea what they might do. The second one is '1B266C3768'X which is

ESC& l 7

o. I have no idea what these do??

I would suggest you try 1B266C3248, and if that doesn't work, try
1B266C3348, and 1B266C3648. The second byte from the right (32, 33 or
36 in these examples) is the only one you'd change to change the input

paper source. (32 is ASCII code for the number 2, 33 is the ASCII
code for the number 3, 36 is the ASCII code for the number 6.)

If that fails, keep trying more values (in ASCII from 0 - 40) or
contact Ricoh and ask them for a list of PCL codes for your printer so

you can tell which one you need.

Also, please be sure you are sending the right drawer from your

program.

IF you change the WSCST for DRAWER1, and the program that you're
testing with specifies OVRPRTF DRAWER(2), it won't matter what you put

in the drawer1 spec!

Good luck
