I have a problem with a Linotronic machine the someone may be able to
help me with. (Its an L200 I think. Does that make sense?)

I am trying to send some postscript to the device which uses the entire
width of the film but when my drawing comes back it is cropped at
8.5 x 11 inches!  I suspect that the guy who runs this sends a header
file to the machine before my file is sent! 
Does anyone know the "statusdict" variables that need to be reset to
be able to get the full 12 inches width and corresponding height!
What commands might restore the device to a known default state, and
what is that default state?, (landscape or portrate / and cliparea)?
