AGILE 5250 ALLY User’s Guide and Reference

4F — CPI/Font Order

This option specifies the order in which the 5250 ALLY will send PFSs to the printer when it receives a command from the System to change both the font and the characters per inch. One setting tells the 5250 ALLY to send the PFS to set the CPI at the printer first, and then to set the font. This is the normal (default) setting. If, after the CPI has been set, the font selection is ignored by the printer because the font is not available, the character spacing will still be correct.

The other setting is used for printers that can vary the character spacing of any font. This setting tells the 5250 ALLY to send the PFS to set the font at the printer first, and then to set the CPI. After the font has been set at the printer, the CPI setting can be made to affect it.

To program this option:

!AGILE!4F=00; Set CPI before sending font (default) !AGILE!4F=01; Send font before setting CPI

51 — Bolding

The choices for this option allow the user to determine the way in which the 5250 ALLY will achieve bolding of text. !AGILE!51=00; (the default value) causes the 5250 ALLY to send PFS 23 to the printer at the beginning of bold printing, and to send PFS 24 to the printer at the end of bold printing.

For printers that are not otherwise capable of bold printing, !AGILE! 51=01; causes the 5250 ALLY to print each bold character in the following way: Character - Backspace - PFS 25 - Character - PFS 26. PFS 25 and PFS 26 are used to perform small relative vertical movements to the right and left, respectively, thereby offsetting the two occurrences of the character and creating a bold appearance.

To program this option:

!AGILE!51=00; Printer performs bolding (default)

!AGILE!51=01; PFS 25 and 26 offset bolding
