Controlling Page Orientation (3812/5219 Emulation Only)
A document can be printed in two different orientations with an additional mode for
landscape orientation:
• Portrait Orientation
• Landscape Orientation
• Computer Output Reduction (COR)
There are four different sources of information that determine the orientation and COR:
• Set Text Orientation command (STO)
• Set Physical Page Size command (SPPS) or
• Set Horizontal/Vertical Format command (SHF/SVF)
• Setting of Page Orientation parameter
• Page Presentation Media command (PPM)
Page Orientation
with the STO
Command
The STO command has the highest priority and the orientation set with this command
can never be overridden by any other setting. Besides setting orientation to Portrait,
Landscape or COR, the STO command can make a setting called Default. The Default
setting means that it’s up to the other commands and parameters to determine page
orientation.
If the STO command isn’t a part of the SCS data stream, determination of page
orientation is made as if Default was set.
