Why does my size A4 or Legal document get cut off in SwiftView?
This problem usually occurs in PCL files that do not contain a PCL escape sequence that describes the paper size. In the absence of a page size command, SwiftView behaves like a LaserJet printer with default factory settings, meaning that it selects ‘letter’ size paper. One solution is to change the default for SwiftView, the other is to correct the file: • ICS commands can be used to define the default page size. For example: sview -ics”pcl pagesize 26 | ldoc c:\my_A4_file.pcl | draw” sview -ics”pcl pagesize 3 | ldoc c:\my_Legal_file.pcl | draw” Note that there is no space between -ics and the quote character. • A PCL escape sequence can be added to the beginning of the PCL file that tells SwiftView (and the printer) to treat the file as A4.
