$totlines when printing
Author: ville.lahdensuo@ladok.umu.se (Ville58)
Hello everybody,
I have countered a problem when printing.
I’m getting different $totlines. If I choose PDF-creator, I get $totlines = 79, but with our default printer $totlines are 76. This difference is causing problems when printing (one page with PDF-creator becomes two when using default printer).
I guess that this has something to do with printer settings. My questions are:
- How does Uniface decide $totlines when I have chosen the printer?
- Is there some way for me to change printer settings so that $totlines would be the same?
I hope there is someone out there who can help me.
Best regards,

Hi Ville,
Just enter in your PRATT different bottom margins to balance the difference.
if you use P_MSWIN3 or P_MSWINX,
uniface communicates with the selected Windows printer driver to get the settings.
Sometimes, you have different settings in the border sizes and this causes different $totlines.
Sometimes, the available fonts can differ and the substitution font is smaller/larger on one of the devices.
Success, Uli

Thank you Uli.
I believe that different printer settings are causing my problem. Different bottom margins are, as you wrote, the way to solve the problem.
Thank you once again.
