APPENDIX B — SCS/DCA COMMAND SUMMARY

Page B-35

 

 

 

Command:

Set Text Orientation (STO)

 

Format:

2B D3 nn F6 caca lala

 

Printers:

3812

 

Action:

This command is used to specify character and line

 

rotation for subsequent text.

 

 

The caca parameter specifies character rotation angle

 

and is not supported on the 3812.

 

 

The lala parameter specifies the text line rotation angle.

 

Valid values are: 0000h (normal portrait), 2D00h

 

(landscape left), 5A00h (upside-down portrait), 8700h

 

(landscape right), FFFEh (Computer Output Reduction)

 

and FFFFh (default orientation based upon page size).

IBMEMUL:

Same as the 3812.

 

 

The 5250 ALLY performs orientation selection in the

 

same way as the IBM 3812, with two exceptions. The

 

5250 ALLY allows system-specified orientation with the

 

STO command to be overridden with Option 54 —

 

Orientation.

 

 

The 3812 does not allow the automatic orientation

 

selection of COR if the pq (print quality) parameter in

 

the Page Presentation Media (PPM) command is set to

 

01h (data processing quality). The 5250 ALLY does not

 

enforce this limitation.

 

 

One of the two PFSs, 0A — PORT or 0B — LAND, is

 

sent to the target printer at the beginning of each page.

 

PFS 0B — LAND is sent for either landscape or COR

 

orientation.

 

275EMUL:

No operation.
