SETTING-UP PRINTING
Print Options
In Leo 99, the user can print horoscopes in different sizes such as
Pocket Size, Book Size and File Size or any other user de-
fined size on different printers in different printing modes, orienta-
tion along with the facility of center staple etc. The user can define
own paper type by specifying orientation, paper height, paper width
and its left, top, bottom & right margins depending on the type of
stationary he/she is using. The user can also specify total number
of pages per paper, horoscope to printed on single side or both
side etc. The user can save the paper layout in the database by
pressing Save Button.
In Leo 99 there are printer settings already defined for so many
printers for basic paper sizes (Pocket, Book and File). However,
if your printer is not present in the list of printer type, it is required
to define the printer and specify the dimensions and adjustments
of different paper sizes.
Suppose you have a printer named HP Deskjet 610C printer at
your place from which you want to print horoscope and the printer
lets say is not present in the list of printers. Let us now add a new
printer HP Deskjet 610 C Printer and define Pocket Size paper
type. Press Add button in the Print Options Screen as shown in
the figure 6.1.1 Printer Type and Paper type fields will become
blank. Now specify Printer Type as HP Deskjet 610C and Paper
type as Pocket. Now specify the paper width, paper height ac-
cording to the stationary you are using. Here we have taken the
paper height to be 180mm and paper width to be 130 mm (as
CHAPTER-VI
40 Leo '99
Figure : 6.1.1. Print Option Screen
Figure : 6.1.2. Paper height/width, margins & orientation options
shown in the figure 6.1.2). Now you have to specify left, right, top
and bottom margins for the pocket size paper type. For defining
Leo '99 41
pocket size paper type for HP Deskjet 610C printer we have taken
left as 8 mm right as 2 mm, top as 8 mm and bottom as 1 mm. We
have also defined two pages per paper for pocket size paper type.
As soon as you change these values, the printing area is auto-
matically calculated by the program.
You can now specify the orientation
of the horoscope to be printed. For
'Pocket Size' horoscope we have
taken the orientation to be 'Land-
scape' according to our stationary
we are using. In pocket size station-
ary we can print two pages per pa-
per, therefore, we have selected the
printing mode to be Both Side. The
user has got the facility to print the
model in single side, both sides and
alternative sides too (Figure 6.1.3).
Since different printers feeds the
paper in different ways, for exam-
ple, Laser printer normally feeds the
paper from Center and Deskjet/Inkjet printer feeds that paper from
extreme right side, in case if the paper size is smaller than the
normal A-4 size paper. Since we are defining the Pocket Size
paper type which is smaller than the normal A-4 size, there is a
need to specify Width & Height option from Auto Adjust Width
and Auto Adjust Height as shown in the figure 6.1.4.

Since there are so many printers available in the market, it is quite
possible that these settings still doesnt give you the exact output,
you desire. Therefore, you may directly change these values in the
Adjustment Box slightly to adjust these Right or Down settings
for the printer till you get the exact printout of the horoscope.
If you are printing the horo-
scope in both sides of the
paper then select Center
Staple option as shown in
the figure 6.1.6.
There is also a very useful
option called Collate As-
cending in the Print Options
(Figure 6.1.6). Let us con-
Now suppose, your printer HP Deskjet 610C feeds the paper
from extreme right side of the printer. Click on Right from No,
Left and Right options available and Extreme from Center
and Extreme options as shown in the figure 7.10. Similarly, for
Height settings, click on Down option out of No, Up and Down
and Extreme from Center and Extreme options available. When
you select these settings Left or Right and Up or Down,
Adjustments in mm are automatically calculated in the Adjust-
ments box (Figure 6.1.5.).

sider an example of printing Pocket Size horoscope in both sides
from a Laser Printer. In this case it will print half of the pages of
the model and will collect the pages one by one in its upper tray. In
this way First page will become the last page when papers are
feeded in the reverse direction. However, in case of a Deskjet,
which normally keeps the printed pages in a sequence such that
the first printed page remains in the beginning when printed in
reverse direction. Therefore, In case of a Laser Printer if you se-
lect (Check) collate ascending option then the sequence will be
generated in an order such that the First page which has now
become the last page after printing half pages of the model, will
become the last page to be printed. Similarly if you do not select
(Uncheck) Collate Ascending option then the sequence will be
such that first page printed will become the first page after print-
ing half pages of the model.
Suppose your model consists of 33 pages and you want to print
the model in pocket size paper type in both sides. Suppose you
have selected two pages per paper. In this case, you will have 3
blank pages at then end of the horoscope. You can Check the
option of Beginning Blank as shown in figure 6.1.6, to have blank
pages to appear in the beginning of the horoscope instead of ap-
pearing at the end.
After defining paper type of your own, you can now press Save
button to save the layout and other information. In the same way
you can also edit a particular paper type. Select a paper type and
simply edit the values and press Save button. You can delete a
specific paper type by selecting a specific paper type from the
paper type list box and pressing Delete.

Figure : 8.5.1. Question Master Screen
78 Leo '99
For example, you want to add a question Will I be promoted?.
Now this question is related to Profession and fulfillment of
desire, so the house signifying the question as per rules are 10
and 11 in order of preference. Similarly planet related to the
question is Sun which signifies power and respect. Let us take
another example of defining question Will I go abroad? in
question master. The houses related with this question are 12, 9
and 7 and related planet is Rahu. To define this question, Press
Add button in the question master ( Figure 8.5.1) and select the
specific category of the question. Now type in the question Will
I go abroad? in the question field and select House no. 12, 9, 7
in the same sequence and select Rahu as the related planet.
Now press Update button to save this question in the question
master database.
If you have entered some wrong information in a specific question
such as wrong sequence of houses then simply select that ques-
tion and make changes. Now press Update button to save
changes for that question. In the same way you can delete a spe-
cific question by selecting a question and pressing Delete.

by other start-up or memory resident programs such as Microsoft
Findfast etc. Try removing unnecessary memory resident and start-
up programs and free some resources to print the horoscope.
4. "Horoscope displays and print Junk Characters."
This problem occurs when some of the necessary fonts that
comes with the software are copied on your system but are not
CHAPTER-IX
80 Leo '99
installed properly. Go to control panels and double click on fonts
to open fonts folder. Now, double click on All fonts of Leo '99 as
specified in the list of fonts. The system will automatically regis-
ter those fonts.
5. "My mouse doesn't work properly after the message 'Leo
Key Not Found'."
This problem occurs when you have not attached Leo Key while
you are running the software or its installation. Open any dos pro-
gram and close the program from the windows. The mouse then
will work properly. If the problem still persists then reboot the sys-
tem and run the software again.
6. "Printer Error."
This problem occurs when you are running the software at the time
when you haven't installed the printer on your computer. Leo '99
does not work when there is no printer installed on the system.
Install a printer first to run the software.
7. "Invalid Property Value. Error Number 380."
This message appears when you are using date format instead of
English (United States). You must set the date format to US En-
glish and the date separator must be "/" in order to avoid the error.
To set the date format go to Control Panel and Double Click 'Re-
gional Settings' to open Its properties. In Regional Settings tab
Scroll down to locate English (United States). Now Confirm the
date separator by clicking Date Tab and Press OK.

tings." & "Pressing show button displays very large fonts."

Leo '99 81
colour scheme instead of windows standard which shows large
fonts. Select any other scheme that uses smaller fonts as com-
pared to the current scheme.
9. "Everything is printed in the Horoscope except circular
charts."
This problem normally occurs when proper driver of the printer is
not installed. For example, incase if you have installed an HP
Laserjet 6L PCL Printer driver for printing the horoscope, which
uses less printer drivers then this problem may occur. Since, the
software requires complete printer drivers. You have to Install HP
Laserjet 6L Printer instead of Laserjet PCL printer.
This problem may also appear with other printers also. Since
Windows automatically recognises printers and sometimes
installs the drivers for some printers, it is therefore, recommended
to not to use drivers set supplied by windows by deleting that
printer from the printers folder. Always install proper driver
provided along with printer.
10. "My parallel CD-ROM doesn't work when I attach
Leo-Key.
or
"I am unable to print after attaching the Leo-Key."
This happens when Leo-Key drivers conficts with drivers running
the printer/CD-ROM because of improper installation of the key
from the installation program. In this case you are supposed to
install the driver for the Leo-Key properly by running Hdd32.exe
from the '\LeoKey' directory of the directory in which you have
installed the software. You can run the specified file and follow
instructions of the setup to complete the installtion.

11. "Device conflict error. Both programs cann't run. Only one
program can run at a time. "
If you run Leo-1, then at the time of printing this problem may
occur. To solve this problem go to printers folder and open your
printers properties. Now click on 'Details' tab and press 'Port
Settings' button. 'Configure LPT Port' box will appear. Uncheck
'Spool MS-Dos print jobs' and 'check port state before printing'
and press OK button.
12. "Active-X component can't create objects. "
This problem occurs when a particular active-x components is not
properly registered in windows. Restart Windows and run the

software.
