Printing A4 Paper Size

If you have not changed the page size of the PRTF, it is still 132 x 66. The Host Print Transform looks at this value and translates it into the escape sequence requesting that the paper at the printer be 13.2″x 11.” Paper. This can be printed to your PC-attached printer when using RPM Remote Print Manager.

i.e to change the entry for letter:..PAGSIZEPAGWTH=12240PAGLEN=15840 (these are the size of the pagein 1/1440ths of an inch)
Data=’1B266C303241′XChange this toData=’1B266C323641′X

It is not possible with some printers so they are not including in the transform - normally you would default to PPRSRC1 parameter; but, if you are using RMTOUTQ there is no DEVD. It must send something so it requests LETTER rather than A4. To fix you can change the PRTF so that it has a PAGESIZE that reflects A4 or you can edit the transform.

We suggest you look at the Redbook AS400 Printing IV if you have it, otherwise the basic principle is to RTVWSCST *TRANSFORM *HP4 <specify a PF to retrieve into>. Then use SEU to edit this file and either create another PAGESIZE tag for 13.2″ x 11″ or change the one for letter.

What you are doing is sending the escape sequence for A4 rather than letter sized paper. Save this and then CRTWSCST. Add this into the RMTOUTQ under WSCST.
