line2afp transform, and a new-line-option-data-encoding document/default document attribute. For more information about this support, see InfoPrint Manager: Reference. Fonts for printing DBCS ASCII and EUC In ideographic languages, like Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, there are thousands of characters. A single byte of information cannot represent all of these characters because a single byte only accommodates 256 characters. Therefore, at least one more byte of information is required. For DBCS ASCII files, each ideographic character is either one byte or two bytes for each character. For Extended UNIX Code (EUC) files, each ideographic character can be two, three, or four bytes, depending on the EUC implementation and language. Single-byte ASCII characters can be mixed in with DBCS ASCII and EUC characters. InfoPrint supports printing DBCS ASCII and EUC files in these formats: v DBCS ASCII files in the Japanese and Traditional Chinese languages, which can contain formatting controls for the InfoPrint 5577 or 5587 printers. v EUC files in the Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean languages. EUC files cannot contain any formatting control characters. The following section contains these topics on printing with DBCS Fonts: v Fonts required to print a double-byte transformed file v Installing DBCS fonts on Windows 2000 v Setting up font resources for DBCS ASCII and EUC printing v Printing Japanese DBCS messages at the end of a job Fonts required to print a double-byte transformed file You can use the db2afp transform command to transform input files that use these code pages: v Japanese PC (code page IBM-932) v Japanese EUC (code page IBM-eucJP) v Traditional Chinese PC (code page IBM-950) v Traditional Chinese EUC (code page IBM-eucTW) v Korean EUC (code page IBM-eucKR) The transformed files contain font references to the double-byte character set. You set the character set and code page you want by either setting the PSFDBLANG environment variable or using the default-character-mapping default document attribute defined in the InfoPrint Manager: Reference. When using the default-character-mapping default document attribute, you must also specify document-format=debs-ascii for each applicable document or default document. To set the PSFDBLANG environment variable, see the Determining what code page your print jobs use and setting the correct environment variable section in Chapter 23, "Working with transforms," on page 177. After you have used the db2afp command to transform DBCS ASCII and EUC files to AFP data stream files, you must have access to DBCS fonts when you print the 262 InfoPrint Manager for Windows: Procedures
