CHAPTER 4 — PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTION STRINGS Page 4-17

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.

COR 10

Select a landscape font greater or equal to 13 pitch (preferably equal to). This PFS is sent to the printer when the 5250 OPTIMA’s page orientation algorithm has selected computer output reduction, and when the System has specified a font with a pitch 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 to greater than or equal to 13 CPI, in order to horizontally compress the print enough for 13.2 inches of print at the System’s CPI value to fit on 10 inches of paper at the printer’s CPI value. If a specific font is needed to achieve 13 CPI, then this PFS should be designed to select this font.

Example: 10 CPI (System’s CPI value) x 13.2 inches (System’s expected page width) = 132 columns. 132 columns ÷ 10 inches (actual paper width) = 13 CPI.

COR 12

Select a landscape font greater or equal to 15 pitch. This PFS is sent to the printer when the 5250 OPTIMA’s page orientation algorithm has selected computer output reduction, and when the System has specified a font with a pitch less than or equal to 12 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 to greater than or equal to 15 CPI, in order to horizontally compress the print enough for 13.2 inches of print at the System’s CPI value to fit on 10 inches of paper at the printer’s CPI value. If a specific font is needed to achieve 15 CPI, then this PFS should be designed to select this font.

Example: 12 CPI (System’s CPI value) x 13.2 inches (System’s expected page width) = 158 columns. 158 columns ÷ 10 inches (actual paper width) = 15 CPI.
