Chapter 7 Emulation subscripts, underlining, backspace, vertical and horizontal tabulation, line spacing, and paper length. The font mode set for the IBM Proprinter X24E emulation is 0 (the printing system adjusts nothing automatically for font attributes) unless you change it by the FTMD command. If you do not need exact character spacing, you can improve the appearance of some fonts by changing the font mode to 13. !R! FTMD 13; EXIT; It should be noted that for FTMD 13; the default Draft Sans-serif font will be printed in 12 cpi, and the Courier Proportional font will be printed in fixed pitch. To use some of the page printing system's other fonts, you can select them with font selection commands, but a more convenient method is available. You can substitute other fonts for the four embedded fonts with SETF (SET alternate Font) commands. This works because the printing system obtains these fonts from the following default values of the SETF command: Table 7.5. IBM Proprinter Fonts Font name Draft Sans-serif Courier Prestige Elite Draft Sans-serif Courier Prop. Character spacing 10 cpi, 12 cpi 10 cpi 12 cpi Condensed (15 cpi) Proportional ALTF No. 0 1 2 3 4 A substitute font can be any resident font if you use the SFNT command to assign the font number. (See the SFNT command page in PRESCRIBE Commands Command Reference.) To assign a font number to resident fonts for substituting the emulated fonts in IBM Proprinter X24E emulation, all the option parameters (including symbol-set, compression, and angle) for the SFNT command must be specified. Landscape orientation is another feature the printing system can offer that the IBM printer cannot. If you command !R! SPO L; EXIT; the printing system rotates the current font and prints text in landscape orientation. The printing system supports the IBM printer's bit-image graphics in portrait orientation, so graphics software using the IBM Proprinter X24E emulation will print charts, graphs, and pictures without the need for PRESCRIBE commands. The print model and clipping features of the PRESCRIBE path mode graphics will be ignored with the IBM bit-image graphics, however. If you attempt to print beyond the right margin, the characters will wrap around and print on the next line.
