TITLE: ... Changing Appearance of Printscreen Output


Setting Up Different Print Screen PRTF Objects to Change the Appearance of the Printout

It is a common request to have an AS/400 printscreen to print portrait and 10 characters per inch. Following is an example.

On the OS/400 command line, type the following:


CRTDUPOBJ OBJ(QSYSPRT) FROMLIB(QSYS) OBJTYPE(*FILE) +
TOLIB(QGPL) NEWOBJ(PRTSCRN)

On the OS/400 command line, type the following:

CHGPRTF FILE(QGPL/PRTSCRN) PAGRTT(0)

On the OS/400 command line, type the following:

CHGDEVDSP DEVD(name of display) PRTFILE(QGPL/PRTSCRN)
 
These three steps will change the PRTF used by the display from QSYSPRT to PRTSCRN in library QGPL. The PRTSCRN has been changed to degree of page rotation of 0 which forces it to print portrait and 10cpi.
