Black Box PC118C-R2 manual Using Fonts in Data Processing

HPIIISi TWINAX CARD

To select a different font that is not a resident scalable font, type in a font- change command “¬Qnnnnn”, where “¬” is a “logical not”, “Q” indicates a font change, and “nnnnn” is the font ID.

To select a resident scalable font with a specific point size, type in a font- change command “¬Fnnnn,xx”, where “¬” is a “logical not,” “F” indicates a change to a resident scalable font, “nnnn” is the font number, and “xx” is the desired point size. The resident scalable font numbers are listed in Appendix D.

All text following the command will be printed in the new font until you specify a different font.

NOTE

The host might send the code for the original font to the printer at the beginning of each page. If this happens, you may need to put a font- change command at the beginning of each page of your document.

If the font-change command changes the pitch, the host might continue to format each line using the pitch of the original font. For Text Management/38® and other word-processing programs, you might

not be able to use more than one font per line.

6.4.2USING FONTS IN DATA PROCESSING

To change fonts for a data-processing report, you must add the new font to the CL or OCL printer statement (for the System/36, you must convert the font number to hexadecimal before adding it to the printer statement).

The font IDs listed in Table 6-1 can be used in host printer statements.

6.4.3USING FONTS IN WORD PROCESSING

When your system operator configures the printer on the host, a default font ID is configured for the printer. The default font ID should be that of the most commonly used font. The word-processing program might also have a default font ID. Since the default font ID can vary depending on the system setup, ask your system operator if you have questions about the default font ID on your system.

If necessary, you can change the font ID with an appropriate command in the word-processing document. You can use the Card’s font-change commands, or you can select a new font-ID number in the word-processing program. Refer to the operator’s manual(s) of the word-processing program for information on changing font IDs within the program.
