LINE FONTINDEX parameter: points to note

Syntax

•When the bitopt option is specified, the initval must also be specified.

•If the initval is ONE or is not specified, the value of the font index byte in the data record is a number in the range 1 to n, where n is the number of fonts specified in the PDE parameter (1 to 128). If ZERO is specified, the font index is a number in the range 0 to n, where n is the number of fonts specified in the PDE parameter minus one (0 to 127). The font index value must be present in every record. If the FONTINDEX in the data record is greater than the number of fonts specified, the first font in the list is used.

•If the FONTINDEX feature is specified, the font index byte is processed for every printed record, and for DJDEs where the IDEN DJPCC parameter causes such processing. A valid FONTINDEX byte should be present in all such records, because it controls line spacing at page transitions.

If the offset to the font index value exceeds the logical record size, the first font in the font list is used.

•If there is a change from a small font to a large font when LINE OVERPRINT=MERGE has been specified, the line is adjusted downward by the difference in height between the first and the largest fonts in the line. (This applies to FreeFlow Print Server LCDS systems, 4850/4890 LPS, and DP92C LPS only.)

•FreeFlow Print Server only: When a new FONTINDEX is specified for a print record, the new line spacing value is always used, regardless of whether the record actually contains printable data.

LINE GDATA

Specifies the starting point of the graphic data from the beginning of the user portion of a data record. This command can be used to skip past information, such as a PCC byte that is not actually part of the image.

LINE GDATA = (offset, termination)
