Cause

Resolving The Problem

Customer is using VICS BOL and has set-up the BOL printing to use VICS BOL (vics_bol_crtn.spec)
When they print out the VICS BOL it prints out on multiple pages instead of one page.
The printer is set to use paper size A (letter) which is US standard size.

When the printer is set to use paper size A4 which is international size, the VICS BOL prints out all on one page.

To Test this:
1) set-up VICS BOL printing (per the instructions for VICS BOL under patch_releases/DCS/6.2/vics_bol on FTP site).

2) Ensure printer is set to use Letter (A) sized paper.

3) Run 08BOL for a shipper that has a BOL (this generates a reprint of a BOL).

The print should now generate across multiple pages instead of a single page.


Workaround is to set printer to use A4 as default paper.
