Product specific information for the printer and queue system is provided.

Although this printer detects the presence of a font cartridge, the host system cannot. You must tell the system about the font cartridge in any of the following instances:

  • Plug in a font cartridge that includes a font in Code Page 850.
  • Print using the font.
  • Print characters unique to Code Page 850 (European characters).

To tell the system about the font cartridge:

    smit chpq
  2. Select the appropriate print queue and select Printer Setup on the Change/Show Characteristics menu.
  3. Specify yes for the CODE PAGE 850 attribute.
