AGILE 5250 ALLY User’s Guide and Reference

This is not normally used with laser printers, and it is only used when some type of PFS Suppression is active or when Option 46 — Vertical Movement has been set to Line Feed (!AGILE!46=02;). Normally, the 5250 ALLY sends PFS 0D — VERMOVE to control all vertical movement.

0A — PORT

Print page in portrait orientation. This PFS is sent to the printer at the beginning of all portrait pages, determined by the 5250 ALLY’s page orientation algorithm (diagrammed on page 2-17). This should cause the printer to enter a portrait page orientation and to select a default font for that orientation. If page orientation for the printer is selected by font, the user needs only to select the appropriate font.

0B — LAND

Print page in landscape orientation. This PFS is sent to the printer at the beginning of all landscape pages, determined by the 5250 ALLY’s page orientation algorithm (diagrammed on page 2-17). This should cause the printer to enter a landscape page orientation and to select a default font for that orientation. If page orientation for the printer is selected by font, the user needs only to select the appropriate font.

0D — VERMOVE

Move the printhead vertically. This is sent to the printer whenever the 5250 ALLY needs to position something vertically on the page, e.g., the beginning of a line of text or the top margin of a page.

The SCS commands that may affect this PFS include: Required New Line, New Line, Interchange Record Separator, Line Feed, Set Initial Conditions (top margin parameter), Set Vertical Margins (top margin parameter), Index Return, Absolute Vertical Print Position and Relative Vertical Print Position. The 5250 ALLY uses the ls parameter in the SCS Set Line Spacing command to calculate the vertical movement commands to send to the target printer.

This PFS is dependent upon two format options (46 — Vertical Movement and 48 — Vertical Resolution). If Vertical Movement is set to Absolute (!AGILE!46=00;), the parameter specifies the vertical position to which to be moved. If Vertical Movement is set to Relative (!AGILE!46=01;), it provides the distance down to move. The unit of measure must be supplied in Option 48 — Vertical Resolution.
