Print format problem

Another frustrating problem I need some help with.  Added a new laser printer, wired ethernet connection.

jBase 5.8.5 on Windows 10

Multi-page program output now prints 60 lines on page 1 , 4 lines on page 2, 60 lines on page 3 and so on.  There is no way to set a default line/page on the printer.  I've tried using TERM to change the printer length to 56  and tried creating a formtype with the shortened length but neither worked.  How do I "override" or work around the misplaced formfeed??

Thanks,

Marc

    Marc,

    Setting page size via WIDTH and DEPTH parameters in the %JBCGLOBALDIR%\\config\\jspform-deflt, or creating a custom version thereof would be the recommended solution.

    In /opt/jbase/global or whatever $JBCGLOBALDIR is set to there is a config directory that has an item jspform_deflt.   This item defines how the default form for printers is to treat print jobs.   In there is by default WIDTH 132 and another line DEPTH 64 meaning it will ignore the TERM statement and use those defaults.   You can comment out these lines and restart the printers and TERM will then affect the printer WIDTH and DEPTH

    ED /opt/jbase/global/config jspform_deflt

    change "WIDTH 132" to "#WIDTH 132" and "DEPTH 64" to "#DEPTH 64" 

    file the item

    SP-SHUTDOWN to stop the printers
    REST-SPOOLER to restart printers

    TERM should now affect printer WIDTH and DEPTH

    Good morning Daniel,
    My preference would be to make the change in the formtype rather than using
    TERM.

    I edited the default formtype to DEPTH 60 (was 64), shutdown and restarted
    the spooler...no change.
    Then, edited the default formtype to DEPTH 56, shutdown and restarted the
    spooler...no change.

    What am I missing??

    I edited the jspform_deflt file in the config folder of my JBCGLOBALDIR,
    which is c:\\jBase\\global.
    My JBCSPOOLERDIR is c:\\users\\jspooler

    The configuration file location referenced in your link is
    $JBCSPOOLERDIR$JBCGLOBALDIR/config.

    What directory/file location does $JBCSPOOLERDIR$JBCGLOBALDIR represent?

    Marc,

    There is a problem with that page which needs to be fixed.

    On your system, the notation would be "%JBCGLOBALDIR%" for the correct location of the file in jBASE 5.8.x, see this example:

    ```

    jBASE Telnetd Server

    User name: jBASEAdmin
    Password:
    sh jBASEAdmin ~ -->cd %JBCRELEASEDIR%
    sh jBASEAdmin D:\\jBASE5\\CurrentVersion -->cd config

    10/01/22  15:25                  1,141 jshlogin
    10/01/22  15:25                 10,618 jspform_deflt
    10/01/22  15:25                  3,173 jspjobs_config
    10/01/22  15:25                  3,724 jspxl_deflt

    ```

    This is an example of an ideal jBASE 5.8.x configuration, but it could be that your system has these files in both locations.

    Please see attached...I seem to have the files in the right place and don't
    have duplicate files that I can find. The directory/file structure is what
    the 5.8.5 install created and hasn't (...I don't believe) been changed.

    I have restarted the spooler a couple of times but have not restarted the
    server. Should that be necessary?

    Marc,

    There is a problem with that page which needs to be fixed.

    On your system, the notation would be "%JBCGLOBALDIR%" for the correct location of the file in jBASE 5.8.x, see this example:

    ```

    jBASE Telnetd Server

    User name: jBASEAdmin
    Password:
    sh jBASEAdmin ~ -->cd %JBCRELEASEDIR%
    sh jBASEAdmin D:\\jBASE5\\CurrentVersion -->cd config
    sh jBASEAdmin D:\\jBASE5\\CurrentVersion\\config -->jdir
    22/06/23  12:15                  8,989 jagent_config
    22/06/23  17:24                    560 jbase_config.json
    22/06/23  17:24                  4,264 system.properties
                   3 File(s)         13,813 bytes
    sh jBASEAdmin D:\\jBASE5\\CurrentVersion\\config -->cd %JBCGLOBALDIR%
    sh jBASEAdmin D:\\jBASE5\\global -->cd config
    sh jBASEAdmin D:\\jBASE5\\global\\config -->jdir
    10/01/22  15:25                  6,996 audit_logging.json
    26/05/23  14:15                 13,510 Config_EMULATE
    22/06/23  17:24                 39,265 Config_EMULATE.txt


    20/12/21  16:30                  1,848 Config_EMULATE_jbased3

    10/01/22  15:25                  1,819 Config_TERM
    10/01/22  15:25                  8,989 jagent_config
    22/06/23  17:24                 25,423 jbase_config.json
    10/01/22  15:25                  2,383 jLibDefinition
    10/01/22  15:25                    583 jnet_access
    10/01/22  15:25                    885 jnet_config
    10/01/22  15:25                    333 jnet_env
    10/01/22  15:25                    332 jnet_map
    10/01/22  15:25                    983 jrfs_config
    10/01/22  15:25                  1,141 jshlogin
    10/01/22  15:25                 10,618 jspform_deflt
    10/01/22  15:25                  3,173 jspjobs_config
    10/01/22  15:25                  3,724 jspxl_deflt
    29/06/23  13:57                 57,344 jutil_ctrl
    10/01/22  15:30                 24,576 jutil_ctrl]D
                   22 File(s)        206,250 bytes

    ```

    This is an example of an ideal jBASE 5.8.x configuration, but it could be that your system has these files in both locations.

    Please see attached...I seem to have the files in the right place and don't
    have duplicate files that I can find. The directory/file structure is what
    the 5.8.5 install created and hasn't (...I don't believe) been changed.

    I have restarted the spooler a couple of times but have not restarted the
    server. Should that be necessary?

    Please see attached...I seem to have the files in the right place and don't
    have duplicate files that I can find. The directory/file structure is what
    the 5.8.5 install created and hasn't (...I don't believe) been changed.

    I have restarted the spooler a couple of times but have not restarted the
    server. Should that be necessary?
