APPENDIX B — SCS/DCA COMMAND SUMMARY

Page B-15

 

 

 

Command:

Set FID through GFID (SFG)

 

Format:

2B D1 nn 05 gfid fntw ps

 

 

Printers:

3812, 5219

 

 

Action:

Selects the font and spacing used for subsequent text.

 

The gfid parameter specifies the Global Font ID (GFID)

 

or typestyle number to be used.

 

 

The fntw parameter divided by 1440 specifies the

 

character width in inches (Characters Per Inch equals

 

1440 divided by the fntw parameter).

 

 

For the 5219, the fntw parameter is restricted to 0060h

 

(15 CPI), 0078h (12 CPI) or 0090h (10 CPI). All other

 

values default to 0060h (10 CPI).

 

 

The ps parameter specifies whether monospacing (01h)

 

or proportional spacing (02h) is to be used. A value of

 

00h means no change.

 

 

 

For the 3812, both the fntw and the ps parameters are

 

discarded. The 3812 always uses the spacing for which

 

the font requested was designed.

 

IBMEMUL:

Same as IBM.

 

 

 

When the 5250 ALLY receives this command, it selects a

 

font at the target printer in the following manner:

 

If Computer Output Reduction (COR) is active, and if

 

the CPI value selected by the fntw parameter is different

 

than the current setting, one of these PFSs is sent to the

 

target printer:

 

 

 

PFS:

Condition:

 

 

PFS 20 — COR 10

CPI = 10

 

 

PFS 21 — COR 12

CPI = 12

 

 

PFS 22 — COR 15

CPI > 12

 

For COR mode, these PFSs should select fonts 13, 15 and 20 CPI, respectively, to provide horizontal reduction. If the orientation is COR, this is the only action performed.
