PQ-8P, PQ-8S

5.7 Laser Printer Operation

The PQ-8 lets you emulate an ASCII laser printer as an IBM 3812 printer. This feature-rich emulation is automatically active when you select the HP PCL output protocol. You can also run an ASCII laser printer under an IBM 5256 emulation. The following section describes how to access the many features of emul- ation of the IBM 3812 printer.

The IBM 3812-1 printer is a laser- type printer that has font-changing capability, plus text-rotation and compression features called Automatic Print Orientation (APO) and Computer Output Reduction (COR).

The PQ-8’s emulation of the 3812 provides bolding, underlining, superscripts, and subscripts by recognizing the host commands for these features in the document. A shadow print for bolding is performed automatically on fixed- pitch fonts. For proportionally spaced (typographic) fonts, the user must specify the font that is to be printed.

Like an IBM 5219 printer, the 3812 printer is configured with a default font ID on the host.

Configure the most commonly used font as the system default, then change as necessary with a printer override or OCL command.

Table 5-1shows which fonts can be used as system defaults for a System/36 or System/38 host.
