Xerox FS 5250, User’s Guide

If there is no STO command, no valid page size specified for Function Y98: Automatic Page Orientation, and the selected tray is set to COR, portrait orientation can be selected by setting the following parameters:

System /38 CL: PRTQLTY (*STD) or (*NLQ)

PAGRITT

System /36 OCL: TEXT -YES

ROTATE-0

Y98 Disabled

If function Y98 is disabled or if the logical page is wider and longer than the physical page (i.e. page not valid), then function Y10 will determine the page orientation. The interface will then use the default orientation as specified in Y10. The orientation may be in landscape, portrait or in COR. If you select COR and the system's print quality is not set to draft, then printing will be made in portrait.

11.5. Fonts

This section will provide the user with details on font selection and definition in PCL and XES mode.

11.5.1 Selecting Fonts - PCL

NOTE:

The procedures in this chapter can only be used, if you havelectedse the PCL option on the interface.

The Xerox FS 5250 emulates the IBM 5219 or 3812 printers. The fonts of these printers are different from the fonts 5 of a Xerox printer. You can install more fonts either as soft fonts or as font cassettes in the printer.

Many software programs will provide you with the facility of changing fonts. But if your software does not have this facility, you can still change fonts in a document by sending FSL commands to the interface.

What to consider

When you send a font change command to the interface, you must remember the following:
