#Tape Calculator
3 messages in this thread
Tracy,
As a "veteran" user of DeskTop Set, I've enjoyed the tape calculator and lament
its demise from the DeskTop Set suite.
Though I know it is no longer included (or supported, I assume), I hope you can
help me with a simple question…
When I print a tape calculator transaction (usually to a LaserJet HP 4M), the
left margin comes out at 1 3/8" inches, rather wide. This causes the right
side of the printout (where all the numbers are) to go off the page. If I go
to Control Panel and change the default printer page orientation to Landscape,
the printout fits. Unfortunately, landscape isn't a workable default as almost
everything else prints best in portrait orientation — as would long tape
printouts.
Is there anywhere to set parameters for tape calculator, such as margins, page
orientation or font? A smaller font would probably fit on a portrait-style
page.
Thanks for your help.

BTW, last I saw the update was anticipated at the end of the summer. Are we
close? Also, is 5.0 on track?
John,
Try deleting the file \desktop\calc.opt. Other than this, I really can't say.
We aren't supporting the calculator anymore and don't have it installed on our
computers.

I quote your 9/12/94 reply to Bill Foltz: << I'll forward your message to
Tracy, who still has the calculator on her computer.>>
My message was addressed to Tracy, specifically because of your response to
Bill.
I understand you don't support the calculator anymore, but please give my
message to Tracy or one of the more "veteran" staff members. I'm not asking
you to fix a bug. I just want to know where calculator looked for its page
setup information. Does it get it from Phone Book Letters, or where? That
would solve my printing problem.
Konstantin could answer this without even thinking about it.
If any user out there knows the answer, please let me know.
Thanks,
John
