PSF selects symbol sets according to the following hierarchy:
1. If you select a symbol set that matches the print quality specified in the form definition, PSF prints the
file.
2. If you select a symbol set but do not specify a print quality, the print quality selected in the printer
configuration or the printer default print quality is used.
3. If you select a symbol set that does not match the print quality specified, the printer attempts to print
the text using a “best fit”font, which it selects.
4. PSF for OS/390, PSF/VM, and PSF/VSE If you select a symbol set that is not available on the 6400
Printer, PSF does not print the remainder of the file.
5. With PSF for AS/400, if you select a symbol set that is not available on the 6400 Printer, and you
specified absolute fidelity, PSF does not print the remainder of the file. If you specified content fidelity,
PSF substitutes another symbol set and prints the file.
Printer Capabilities
The capabilities of the 6400 Printer are different from those of most of the other printers supported by PSF
in the following ways:
vDifferences in the contents of the character sets in the fonts provided by PSF and in the symbol sets
resident in the 6400 Printer may result in inconsistent printed output between the two types of fonts.
vThe 6400 Printer prints only with resident symbol sets.
vThe PSF for OS/390 and PSF/VSE default fonts specified with the CHARS parameter in the PRINTDEV
statement cause errors in which PSF issues messages saying “resource not found”. Change or override
the CHARS parameter to use a 6400 Printer symbol set.
vThe 6400 Printer prints text and images in 0°and 180°character rotation and prints graphics in all four
rotations. The 6400 Printer does not print text in 90°or 270°rotation.
vThe 6400 Printer has a 120 x 140-pel printhead, but the printer microcode enables the 6400 Printer to
print with simulated 144 x 144-pel resolution.
vThe 6400 Printer does not support multiple subgroups within a copy group in a form definition, nor does
it print multiple copies of individual pages within a subgroup.
