Specifying print format parameters

If you want to provide consistency between jobs that are printed on the DP EPS and on a 4635 or DP180 LPS, you can adjust the alignment by 35 dots using the DP EPS queue management windows. (Refer to the “Adjusting alignment” section of your printer operator guide for this procedure.)

PDE FONTS

Specifies the fonts to be used in printing variable input data and

CME data.

Syntax ac: PDE FONTS = {(f1 [, f2] [,...]) ((f1, s1 [, unit]) [, (f2, s2 [unit])]

[, ...])}

f

font.

 

 

Specifies a one to six alphanumeric character identifier (consisting of at least

 

 

one letter) corresponding to a font cataloged on the system disk (you can use

 

 

up to 128 fonts with the font indexing capability).

 

 

 

 

s

spacing.

 

 

Specifies an optional override line spacing value defined by either the print

 

 

lines per inch (LPI) or the dots per print line (DOTS or XDOTS) to be associated

 

 

with the font. Maximum value for s is 30 LPI; minimum value is 10 dots.

 

 

There is no default LPI value for s.

 

 

 

 

unit

A unit of measure for the override line spacing to be associated with a font. The

 

 

unit can be one of the following:

 

 

• LPI (lines per inch)

 

 

• DOTS (dots per print line at 300 dpi)

 

 

• XDOTS (dots per print line at 600 dpi)

 

 

The default unit is LPI.

 

 

 

 

Default

No default

PDE FONTS

• If different fonts are used on the same print line, character

parameter: points

heights of all fonts used in the print line are compared to find

 

to note

the largest font in the line. (The line spacing value that was

 

 

defined, or specified as an override, for that font is used to

 

 

determine the position of the next print line.)
