If the printer is capable of printing any font at any pitch (CPI), then this
PFS should set the pitch for the current font. If a specific font is needed to
achieve 5 CPI, then this PFS should be defined to select that font.
If the RES CPI= option (under FMTINFO: for the output port) is set to
PRE-FONT, then this PFS will be sent before the GFID for the font is sent.
If the RES CPI= option is set to POSTFONT then this PFS will be sent
after the GFID for the font is sent.
P 8CPI
Print 8 characters per inch in portrait orientation. This PFS is sent to the
printer when the 5250 OPTIMAs page orientation algorithm has selected
a portrait orientation, and when the System has requested a font with a
pitch of greater than 5 but less than or equal to 8 CPI (using either an SCS
Set Character Density command or an SCS Set FID through GFID
command).
If the printer is capable of printing any font at any pitch (CPI), then this
PFS should set the pitch for the current font. If a specific font is needed to
achieve 8 CPI, then this PFS should be defined to select that font.
If the RES CPI= option (under FMTINFO: for the output port) is set to
PRE-FONT, then this PFS will be sent before the GFID for the font is sent.
If the RES CPI= option is set to POSTFONT then this PFS will be sent
after the GFID for the font is sent.
P 10CPI
Print 10 characters per inch in portrait orientation. This PFS is sent to the
printer when the 5250 OPTIMAs page orientation algorithm has selected
a portrait orientation, and when the System has requested a font with a
pitch of greater than 8 but less than or equal to 10 CPI (using either an SCS
Set Character Density command or an SCS Set FID through GFID
command).
If the printer is capable of printing any font at any pitch (CPI), then this
PFS should set the pitch for the current font. If a specific font is needed to
achieve 10 CPI, then this PFS should be defined to select that font.
If the RES CPI= option (under FMTINFO: for the output port) is set to
PRE-FONT, then this PFS will be sent before the GFID for the font is sent.
If the RES CPI= option is set to POSTFONT then this PFS will be sent
after the GFID for the font is sent.
