Procedure for specifying attributes

To fill in ISPF panels to specify a fixed-pitch font:

• If the printer is controlled by PSF, name the font in the Character sets field on the Allocation panel.
• If the printer is controlled by IP PrintWay™, and IP PrintWay uses the AFP to PCL transform or the AFP to PostScript transform for line data, name the font in the Character sets field on the Allocation panel.
• If the printer is controlled by IP PrintWay, and IP PrintWay does not use a transform for line data, specify PCL commands to select the font in the Document header field on the IP PrintWay Options panel. Also, be sure to reset the printer to its original state in the Document trailer field.

Examples

Example 1. Specifying a fixed-pitch font for a printer controlled by PSF

This example shows how to fill in the ISPF panels to specify a fixed-pitch font for a printer controlled by PSF. Also, use this example if the printer definition is controlled by IP PrintWay and IP PrintWay uses the AFP to PCL or the AFP to PostScript transform.

In this example, PSF, the AFP to PCL transform, and the AFP to PostScript transform use the Gothic Text Latin1, fixed-pitch, font. The pitch is 10 characters per inch.

Example 2. Specifying a fixed-pitch font for a printer controlled by IP PrintWay

This example shows how to fill in the ISPF panels to specify PCL commands to select a fixed-pitch font to print the data and then reset the printer to its default settings.
