The following example defines PFS 0D — VERMOVE for a Xerox (XES/ UDK) printer.

!AGILE!0D=1B 72 64 _d 20;

This command translates as “Esc r d [insert decimal parameter] (Space).”

GFIDs

IBM systems refer to fonts using numbers from 00001 to 65534. These numbers are called GFIDs, or global font identifiers. (Sometimes they are referred to as font identifiers, FIDs or typestyle numbers.)

The System selects a particular font by sending a GFID request to the printer. The 5250 ALLY takes the GFID request and translates it into an Escape sequence that the printer will use to select a font (unless the job is a COR orientation as determined by the 5250 ALLY orientation algorithm illustrated in Chapter 2 — Advanced Configuration). The Escape sequence that a particular GFID evokes is determined by two tables used by the

5250 ALLY. The Portrait Font Correspondence Table contains the Escape sequences for portrait-oriented fonts, and the Landscape Font Correspondence Table is used for landscape-oriented fonts.

If the printer is listed among the supported configurations, the font correspondence tables will be loaded with the rest of the configuration. The fonts evoked by the Escape sequences in the correspondence tables for the printer will approximate those evoked by the IBM GFIDs as closely as possible using the fonts readily available for the printer.

User Font Configuration

To edit an existing GFID, load a supported printer configuration, either from the front panel as described in Chapter 1 — Getting Started, or with the twinax or alternate host data stream, as described in Chapter 2 — Advanced Configuration. If a printer configuration has already been loaded as part of the user’s configuration process, this step is unnecessary.
