1) Mind that you can plot the DOS on a eV-scale as well, with the fermi 
energy at zero (case.dos1_ev files). That might be easier to compare 
with the literature.

2) In the Ry-scale, the fermi energy is not at zero, but at :FER.

3) Depending on what the value of :FER is, 1.2 Ry might be way above the 
fermi energy and it unlikely you can do anything useful with it.

4) If nevertheless you want to plot the DOS for higher energies, 
increase Emax at the bottom of case.in1.
