APPENDIX B — SCS/DCA COMMAND SUMMARY

Page B-39

 

The printing mechanism of the 4214 prints characters

 

only as 8 x 10. If character bit image information is

 

loaded with 8 x 9 mode (mm=01h), the 9th slice of the

 

image is automatically copied into the 10th slice, to

 

expand the character width to 10 slices.

 

 

The 5225 is not capable of printing solid black areas for

 

more than 5 minutes. Permanent damage to the 5225 may

 

result if the printer is made to print solid black areas for

 

more than 5 minutes. IBM suggests that after high-

 

density printing on the 5225, the printer is allowed to

 

cool down (no printing) for 10 minutes.
