FONT ID

The 3812 emulation uses IBM font ID’s to switch from one HP font to another. Only certain IBM font ID's can be used as the system default. These are noted by an asterisk (*) in the Font ID table in Appendix A-3 of this manual.

You specify the default font ID for your printer when you configure the printer on the IBM host. Have your system operator set your default to the font ID you use most and then change as necessary with a printer override, OCL command, or word processing font ID. (See Appendix A-3 for font ID table.)

PAPER SIZE AND ENVELOPES

The 3812 emulation supports the following paper sizes:

Letter

8.5 x 11 inches

Legal

8.5 x 14 inches

A4

210 x 297 mm (8.27’ x 11 .69’)

Executive

7.25 x 10.5 inches

Epson printers support the following envelope sizes:

Commercial 10

9.5 x 4.125 inches

Monarch

7.5 x 3.875 inches

DL

220 x 110 mm (8.66’ x 4.333

CS

229 x 162 mm (9.02’ x 6.38”)

You must send the paper and envelope dimensions from the IBM host to the printer in order for the proper size to be selected. You can use interface setup commands to select A4 size paper as the default or to feed paper regardless of size.

JUSTIFICATION

The 3812 emulation supports right hand justification for all fixed pitch fonts as well as proportional font IDS 158, 159, and 162 (found in the 5410 font cartridge).

INTERFACE TEST MODES

In addition to the self-test described in the section on installing the interface, the C82315* has four other tests you can perform: hex print, communications test, interface diagnostics, and the interface diagnostic loopback.
