       /DEVICE=(option[,...])

    Positional qualifier.

    Controls whether DSR generates an output file (.LNI) that is
    suitable for printing on an LN01, an LN01E, or an LN03 laser
    printer.

    If you do not get the output that you expect when you print an
    .LNI file on an LN01 or an LN01E printer, check with your system
    manager. The OpenVMS DIGITAL Standard Runoff Reference Manual
    contains information for system managers about setting LN01 and
    LN01E laser printers to print .LNI files.

    You can choose options from the following list to indicate
    output device, page orientation, and type of emphasis for flagged
    characters in your .LNI file:

    o  LN01

       Produces an output file suitable for printing on an LN01 laser
       printer; the default paper size is 8 1/2 by 11 inches; the
       default mode is PORTRAIT. The output file name is the same
       as the input file name; the default file type is .LNI. This
       option is incompatible with the LN01E option.

    o  LN01E

       Produces an output file suitable for printing on an LN01E
       laser printer using the standard European paper size (A4).
       The output file name is the same as the input file name. The
       default file type is .LNI; the default mode is PORTRAIT. This
       option is incompatible with the LN01 option.

    o  LN03

       Produces an output file suitable for printing on an LN03 laser
       printer; the default paper size is 8 1/2 by 11 inches. The
       output file name is the same as the input file name. The
       default file type is .LNI; the default mode is PORTRAIT.

    o  LANDSCAPE

       Causes the appropriate fonts for landscape mode to be loaded
       into an LN01 printer; pages are printed with the long
       dimension at the top and use a smaller type size. (The page
       is 11 inches wide and 8 1/2 inches long.) Allowable page
       dimensions are 0 to 73 lines per page and 0 to 132 characters
       per line. This option is incompatible with the PORTRAIT
       option.

    o  PORTRAIT (default)

       Causes the appropriate fonts for portrait mode to be loaded
       into an LN01 printer; pages are printed with the short
       dimension at the top and use a larger type size. (The page
       is 8 1/2 inches wide and 11 inches long.) Allowable page
       dimensions are 0 to 66 lines per page and 0 to 80 characters
       per line. This option is incompatible with the LANDSCAPE
       option.

       PORTRAIT mode is the default when you specify /DEVICE=LN01,
       /DEVICE=LN01E, or /DEVICE=LN03.

    o  ITALIC (default)

       Causes the italic and bold-italic fonts to be loaded into an
       LN01 printer, and makes characters flagged for underlining
       appear in italic type. Italicized characters can also appear
       in boldface type, depending on the type of emphasis you
       specify in your input file.

       The LN03 printer requires no loading of fonts, because default
       fonts are present. Text flagged for emphasis is printed in
       italic type if the current font has the ITALIC attribute;
       otherwise the flagged text is underlined.

    o  UNDERLINE

       Causes the text and bold fonts to be loaded into an LN01
       printer, and underlines characters flagged for underlining.
       The LN01 printer allows only 63 consecutive characters
       (counting a space as a character) to be underlined per line.
       If you want to underline individual words and not the spaces
       between them, you will be able to underline only 63 words per
       line. This option is incompatible with the ITALIC option.

       DSR does not report an error if the user exceeds this limit
       of the hardware. On an LN03 printer, the flagged text is
       underlined if you have specified the UNDERLINE option. The
       printer does not default to italic even if the current font
       has the ITALIC attribute.
