I've recently set up a laserwriter IInt using transcript from a unix machine. Everything's working ok, except that the output is shifted down almost an inch down on the page from where it should be, leaving a large amount of white space on the top of every page, and cutting off parts of the bottom of every page. i don't know very much about postscript, but from a few hours of reading, my guess was that the default transformation matrix is off. If i send a 0 60 translate to the printer before sending a file, everything's ok, but the effect of the translate gets wiped out after the first showpage. the only thing i can find in the language manual that seems pertinent is the framdevice operator. however, framedevice takes a "proc" operand, which the manual says is device dependent, and thus not documented. my questions are: is the solution to this problem to change the default transformation matrix, as is my guess, or is there some other solution, or could this be a hardware problem with the laserwiter? if the solution is to change the default transformation matrix, how is that done? if framedevice is the correct operator, what should the proc operand be for the laserwriter IInt?
