/DEVICE=(option[,...])
Positional qualifier.
Controls whether DSR generates an output file (.LNI) that is
suitable for printing on an LN01, an LN01E, or an LN03 laser
printer.
If you do not get the output that you expect when you print an
.LNI file on an LN01 or an LN01E printer, check with your system
manager. The OpenVMS DIGITAL Standard Runoff Reference Manual
contains information for system managers about setting LN01 and
LN01E laser printers to print .LNI files.
You can choose options from the following list to indicate
output device, page orientation, and type of emphasis for flagged
characters in your .LNI file:
o LN01
Produces an output file suitable for printing on an LN01 laser
printer; the default paper size is 8 1/2 by 11 inches; the
default mode is PORTRAIT. The output file name is the same
as the input file name; the default file type is .LNI. This
option is incompatible with the LN01E option.
o LN01E
Produces an output file suitable for printing on an LN01E
laser printer using the standard European paper size (A4).
The output file name is the same as the input file name. The
default file type is .LNI; the default mode is PORTRAIT. This
option is incompatible with the LN01 option.
o LN03
Produces an output file suitable for printing on an LN03 laser
printer; the default paper size is 8 1/2 by 11 inches. The
output file name is the same as the input file name. The
default file type is .LNI; the default mode is PORTRAIT.
o LANDSCAPE
Causes the appropriate fonts for landscape mode to be loaded
into an LN01 printer; pages are printed with the long
dimension at the top and use a smaller type size. (The page
is 11 inches wide and 8 1/2 inches long.) Allowable page
dimensions are 0 to 73 lines per page and 0 to 132 characters
per line. This option is incompatible with the PORTRAIT
option.
o PORTRAIT (default)
Causes the appropriate fonts for portrait mode to be loaded
into an LN01 printer; pages are printed with the short
dimension at the top and use a larger type size. (The page
is 8 1/2 inches wide and 11 inches long.) Allowable page
dimensions are 0 to 66 lines per page and 0 to 80 characters
per line. This option is incompatible with the LANDSCAPE
option.
PORTRAIT mode is the default when you specify /DEVICE=LN01,
/DEVICE=LN01E, or /DEVICE=LN03.
o ITALIC (default)
Causes the italic and bold-italic fonts to be loaded into an
LN01 printer, and makes characters flagged for underlining
appear in italic type. Italicized characters can also appear
in boldface type, depending on the type of emphasis you
specify in your input file.
The LN03 printer requires no loading of fonts, because default
fonts are present. Text flagged for emphasis is printed in
italic type if the current font has the ITALIC attribute;
otherwise the flagged text is underlined.
o UNDERLINE
Causes the text and bold fonts to be loaded into an LN01
printer, and underlines characters flagged for underlining.
The LN01 printer allows only 63 consecutive characters
(counting a space as a character) to be underlined per line.
If you want to underline individual words and not the spaces
between them, you will be able to underline only 63 words per
line. This option is incompatible with the ITALIC option.
DSR does not report an error if the user exceeds this limit
of the hardware. On an LN03 printer, the flagged text is
underlined if you have specified the UNDERLINE option. The
printer does not default to italic even if the current font
has the ITALIC attribute.
