This directory contains files used to produce the poster that
will be/was shown at the Jefferson Lab Open house on April 21st,
2001. Some of the files are made in to print on letter size
paper (8.5" x 11") and others on 11" x 17" paper. Printing to
the larger paper (using cchp2 in this case) was very tricky
so I'm documenting how it was done here.


 StarOffice:
-------------
I had some problems getting StarOffice5.1 to produce usable output
so use StarOffice5.2

In the Format:Page...:Page Tab, set the Paper format to "User".
Set it to Portrait mode, and set the width to 17" and the
height to 11".

When you go to the "Print..." dialog, hit the "Properties"
button next to the printer and make sure it is set to
"Ledger" for paper size and "PORTRAIT" for orientation.

You'll need tp print to a file since there is a special option
that must be passed to the printer via "lp" (see below).


 Xfig:
-------
The drawing should be turned sideways and placed in the center
of the 11"(across) x 17"(down) square in the top left corner
of the page.

I when exporting, I selected the "tabloid" paper size and set
it to "landscape" mode. Also, make sure to select "Flush left"
instead of "Centered".

Note that if it doesn't look right when displayed using the
"Ledger" paper size in ghostview, it won't look right when
printed. 

The CCHP2 printer has 11" x 17" paper in tray3. You must
pass options to the printer which (as fas as I know) can only
be done using lp. Thus, you have to print from something like
jlabs1.

The printer seems to ignore the -otray3 -olandscape and
-oportrait options, so don't use them. The command you
want to use is:

lp -dcchp2 -oledger filename.ps
