CHAPTER 4 — PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTION STRINGS Page 4-21

LOWQUAL

This PFS is sent to the printer when the System has selected a low quality or draft print mode using the SCS Page Presentation Media command with the pq parameter set to 03h. This is normally applicable only for dot matrix printers. The user can use this PFS to control any mode of operation of the printer. Start that mode of operation by selecting draft print mode at the System.

MEDQUAL

This PFS is sent to the printer when the System has selected a medium quality print mode using the SCS Page Presentation Media command with the pq parameter set to 01h. This is normally applicable only for dot matrix printers. The user can use this PFS to control any mode of operation of the printer. Start that mode of operation by selecting the appropriate print mode at the System.

HIQUAL

This PFS is sent to the printer when the System has selected a high quality or “near letter quality” print mode using the SCS Page Presentation Media command with the pq parameter set to 02h. This is normally applicable only for dot matrix printers. The user can use this PFS to control any mode of operation of the printer. Start that mode of operation by selecting the appropriate print mode at the System.

SIMPLEX

Print in simplex (single-sided) mode (selected by sending the SCS Page Presentation Media command with the dx parameter set to 01h). If the System is printing in duplex mode, it will insert an additional Form Feed into the data stream if necessary at the end of print jobs.

Note: This command will not be sent by the OS/400 operating system, due to IBM restrictions, but some application software may support it.
