An anomaly in the core Mac OS X 10.2.x causes custom
paper sizes to be incorrectly rotated by 90 degrees, the Oki
PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file implements a
counter-rotation to solve this problem. However, some
applications such as Quark Xpress or Macromedia
Freehand may create their own PostScript code. For these
applications, the custom paper size rotation issue does not
apply.
In such cases, if the Oki PPD file is selected in Quark or
Freehand’s print dialog, the print job will be incorrectly
rotated by 90 degrees.
The Oki printer driver contains a Page Rotate option – this
may be used to fix the problem. Alternatively, you may be
able to rotate the page in your application program.
