AGILE 5250 OPTIMA User’s Guide and Reference

Special Editors

There are two special editors for translation tables and programmable function strings.

Programmable Function Strings

The appropriate PFSs are defined for an output port when a printer configuration is loaded from the OPTIMA diskette, so most users will not have to change the PFS definitions unless building a printer configuration from scratch.

Before using OPTEDIT to edit PFSs, the user should become familiar with the issues discussed in Chapter 4 — Programmable Function strings.

The PFS (Programmable Function String) editor is used to edit the strings the OPTIMA sends to an output device to perform various system- requested functions, including the function strings used to select various fonts at the printer.

To enter the PFS/GFID editor, at the appropriate output port on the OPTEDIT main screen, use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the words “PFS/GFID Info:,” and press ENTER.

The PFS editor is shown below:
