Notes:

1. For

MVS,

make

sure

to

use the PSF APSRMARK utility

to

mark

the

reside

fonts

before

you

use

them. PSF/MVS also ships another

utility,

APSRCF30,

which

you

can

use

to

convert

240-pel

fonts to 300-pel

fonts.

2. For

VSE,

make

sure

to

use the PSF APTRMARK utility

to

mark

the

reside

fonts

before

you

use

them. PSF/VSE also ships another

utility,

APTVCF30,

which

you

can

use

to

convert 240-pel fonts to 300-pel

fonts.

Page Definitions and Form Definitions

Page definitions and form definitions often contain images and fonts tha dependent on resolution. Check these resources to see if they specif overlays, and page segments that need to be considered for migration conversion. Also, overlays can specify other objects such as fonts and segments that may need to be considered for migration or conversion.

Bar Codes

The 3130 can print the following types of bar codes:

Ÿ BCOCA		- If the	print	data	set	was	designed to run on a printer
can	be	run with little or no			change on a 3130. Some bar codes may
slightly		differently	on	the 3130.		Some	differences include:

– The 3812, 3816, and 4028 insert a blank area (called a quiet z beginning of the bar code area. Other printers, such as the 3 4230, and 4234 do not.

– The Code128 modifier may print in a different position with the

– EAN2,

EAN5, UPC2,

and

UPC5

bar

codes

may

print larger

than they

di

on

previous printers.

See the reference materials for your

software and printers for mo

details on bar code implementation. For

implementing

BCOCA

bar

codes,

s

your

application software documentation

for

information.

Ÿ Bar Codes Generated by DCF

-

When

a program

such

as

Document

Composition Facility (DCF) is used to generate

bar

codes using draw

output should be tested on the 3130

with the scanning equipment use

reading the bar codes. The different

resolution

of the

printer

may

slight

differences

in

the

placement of

the bar

code

components.
