AGILE 5250 OPTIMA User’s Guide and Reference

 

 

Command:

Justify Text Field (JTF)

Format:

2B D2 nn 03 rere pr

Printers:

3812, 5219

Action:

Specifies that a field of text is to be justified.

 

Text to be justified follows the command. Justification

 

ends at the next Justify Text Field (JTF), Carriage Return

 

(CR), New Line (NL), Required New Line (RNL),

 

Interchange Record Separator (IRS), Form Feed (FF) or

 

Required Form Feed (RFF) command.

 

The left edge of the field’s placement is the current print

 

position.

 

The rere parameter specifies the right edge the field’s

 

placement in 1/1440-inch units relative to the left

 

margin.

 

The pr parameter specifies the percentage of white space

 

at the end of the field that is to be redistributed within the

 

field.

 

Allowed values of pr for 3812 and 5219 printers are 00h

 

(no change from last value), 32h (50%) and 64h (100%).

 

If the text to be justified does not fit within the field, no

 

justification takes place.

 

JFT cannot occur while Set Justify Mode is active.

IBMEMUL:

Same as IBM.

 

The OPTIMA allows any percentage rule: 00h (no

 

change), and 01h (1%) to 64h (100%).

 

The OPTIMA turns off justify mode (as set by Set Justify

 

Mode) upon receiving this command.

 

The OPTIMA performs all calculations necessary to

 

perform the justification on the target printer. Because of

 

the complexity of these calculations, justification may

 

result in significantly reduced throughput.

 

The OPTIMA sends the PFS SNDXTRA> to the printer

 

between the characters in the text field to place small

 

amounts of additional space between the characters. This

 

results in the text being justified.

275EMUL:

No operation.
