CHAPTER 4 — PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTION STRINGS

18 — L 5CPI

Print 5 characters per inch in landscape orientation. This PFS is sent to the

printer when the 5250 ALLY’s page orientation algorithm has selected a

landscape orientation, and when the System has requested a font with a

pitch of 5 CPI or less (using either an SCS Set Character Density command

or an SCS Set FID through GFID command).
If the printer is capable of printing any font at any pitch (CPI), then this

PFS should set the pitch for the current font. If a specific font is needed to

achieve 5 CPI, then this PFS should be defined to select that font.
If Option 4F — CPI/Font Order is set to 00 (!AGILE!4F=00;), then this

PFS will be sent before the GFID for the font is sent. If Option 4F — CPI/

Font Order is set to 01 (!AGILE!4F=01;), then this PFS will be sent after

the GFID for the font is sent.

19 — L 8CPI

Print 8 characters per inch in landscape orientation. This PFS is sent to the

printer when the 5250 ALLY’s page orientation algorithm has selected a

landscape orientation, and when the System has requested a font with a

pitch of greater than 5 but less than or equal to 8 CPI (using either an SCS

Set Character Density command or an SCS Set FID through GFID

command).
If the printer is capable of printing any font at any pitch (CPI), then this

PFS should set the pitch for the current font. If a specific font is needed to

achieve 8 CPI, then this PFS should be defined to select that font.
If Option 4F — CPI/Font Order is set to 00 (!AGILE!4F=00;), then this

PFS will be sent before the GFID for the font is sent. If Option 4F — CPI/

Font Order is set to 01 (!AGILE!4F=01;), then this PFS will be sent after

the GFID for the font is sent.

1A — L 10CPI

Print 10 characters per inch in landscape orientation. This PFS is sent to

the printer when the 5250 ALLY’s page orientation algorithm has selected

a landscape orientation, and when the System has requested a font with a

pitch of greater than 8 but less than or equal to 10 CPI (using either an SCS

Set Character Density command or an SCS Set FID through GFID

command).
