The Question is: Is there any way to specify a different set of setup modules to use for flag pages that are different than the setup modules that are used in the definition of a print form? I have a number of HP LaserJet printers and some OCE 3165 printers that I print to via TCP/IP (UCX v4.2 ECO4 - Telnet & LPD symbionts) for which I'd like to get the flag page printed properly in a compressed font while still having the print job properly processed based on the setup modules specified by the print form that is used to print the job. Currently, my print jobs don't get their flag pages printed properly if the printer cannot handle 132 columns of output. I get truncated flag pages and this makes it difficult to properly sort and route print jobs that come out on a high volume printer t hat is shared by many users. Setting up a default print form that puts the printers in a 132 column printing mode is not acceptable since the end users don't like to read the compressed print when the entire print job is compressed. I only want the flag page to be compressed. The Answer is : All banner pages format information to the width and length of the default form size of 80 characters by 51 lines. You can control the wrapping and the truncation. You could also roll your own symbiont or replace module(s) in an existing symbiont, of course -- the existing symbionts do not have forms for bracketing the banner page.
