In order to save paper, you may need to rotate the job through the Postscript driver interface. Rotating a job is controlled by a setting in the PostScript driver; it can be enabled or disabled. When you enable the rotation feature, both the page and the image are rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. Note that the HP driver will override the setting in the front panel. Consult the PostScript driver documentation to find out where to set the rotation feature. page size and rotation When you rotate a job, the page length may be increased to avoid clipping, because the top and bottom margins are usually larger than the side margins. rotating a job using a non-hp PostScript driver If you are using a non-HP PostScript driver, you can rotate the image using the Rotate setting in the front panel (Page Format > Rotate). For more information, consult the driver documentation. what on the page is rotated? If the page size is specified in either the front panel or the application in which the image was made, then the page and the image are rotated, as shown below. However, if the page size is unspecified, the page is not rotated, only the image. file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/---/Desktop/HP/html/p0180.htm (1 of 2) [8/5/2002 4:28:49 PM]
