transformed files. The DBCS fonts for Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean are available with Infoprint Fonts, which is a separately orderable feature of InfoPrint Manager. Installing DBCS fonts on Windows To make the fonts available to InfoPrint on your system once you have the licensed programs, you can use the Windows licensed programs to install the fonts, or copy the fonts to a particular directory on your Windows system. Setting up font resources for DBCS ASCII and EUC printing To print the transformed files that contain font references to the double-byte character set, you must make the double-byte fonts known to InfoPrint through one of these methods: v Create a resource-context object that identifies the location of the double-byte fonts and associate the resource-context object with a default-document object and an InfoPrint logical destination. Using this method makes the fonts known to InfoPrint for any job submitted to the logical destination associated with the default-document object. v Add the drives and specific folders to the search path for actual destinations using this procedure from the InfoPrint Administration GUI: 1. From the InfoPrint Administration GUI main window, highlight the actual destination. 2. From the main menu, select the Printer → Properties path to open the selected printers' Printer Properties window. 3. From the Printer Properties window, click AFP Resources. 4. From AFP Resources, you can specify the fully qualified path where the double-byte fonts are in the Location of Resources field. This makes the fonts known to InfoPrint for any job processed by this actual destination. Printing Japanese DBCS fonts at the end of a job You can have DBCS messages print in Japanese at the end of each DBCS print job. As with printing any DBCS jobs, you must have already installed the appropriate DBCS fonts on your system, and your printer must be DBCS-enabled. Also, you must have installed the font from the AFP Font Collection - Japanese Fonts CD-ROM to support printing the Japanese DBCS message page. If you have installed this prerequisite and can print DBCS output in Japanese, this support is enabled and messages print in Japanese automatically. Note that if you do not install the appropriate fonts, InfoPrint Manager defaults to printing the appropriate message in English. Fonts for printing line data When you specify a coded font name with the chars keyword of the line2afp command or with the chars document attribute, the font name is limited to four characters, excluding the two-character prefix. This table provides a list of the IBM Expanded Core Fonts for use with unformatted ASCII input data. InfoPrint stores these coded fonts in the Chapter 26. Working with fonts 263

transformed files. The DBCS fonts for Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean
are available with
Infoprint Fonts
, which is a separately orderable feature of
InfoPrint Manager.
Installing DBCS fonts on Windows
To make the fonts available to InfoPrint on your system once you have the licensed
programs, you can use the Windows licensed programs to install the fonts, or copy
the fonts to a particular directory on your Windows system.
Setting up font resources for DBCS ASCII and EUC printing
To print the transformed files that contain font references to the double-byte
character set, you must make the double-byte fonts known to InfoPrint through
one of these methods:
v
Create a
resource-context
object that identifies the location of the double-byte
fonts and associate the
resource-context
object with a default-document object
and an InfoPrint logical destination. Using this method makes the fonts known
to InfoPrint for any job submitted to the logical destination associated with the
default-document object.
v
Add the drives and specific folders to the search path for actual destinations
using this procedure from the
InfoPrint Administration GUI
:
1.
From the
InfoPrint Administration GUI
main window, highlight the actual
destination.
2.
From the main menu, select the
Printer
Properties
path to open the selected
printers'
Printer Properties
window.
3.
From the
Printer Properties
window, click
AFP Resources
.
4.
From
AFP Resources
, you can specify the fully qualified path where the
double-byte fonts are in the
Location of Resources
field.
This makes the fonts known to InfoPrint for any job processed by this actual
destination.
Printing Japanese DBCS fonts at the end of a job
You can have DBCS messages print in Japanese at the end of each DBCS print job.
As with printing any DBCS jobs, you must have already installed the appropriate
DBCS fonts on your system, and your printer must be DBCS-enabled. Also, you
must have installed the font from the
AFP Font Collection – Japanese Fonts
CD-ROM
to support printing the Japanese DBCS message page. If you have installed this
prerequisite and can print DBCS output in Japanese, this support is enabled and
messages print in Japanese automatically.
Note that if you do not install the appropriate fonts, InfoPrint Manager defaults to
printing the appropriate message in English.
Fonts for printing line data
When you specify a coded font name with the
chars
keyword of the
line2afp
command or with the
chars
document attribute, the font name is limited to four
characters, excluding the two-character prefix.
This table provides a list of the IBM Expanded Core Fonts for use with
unformatted ASCII input data. InfoPrint stores these coded fonts in the
Chapter 26. Working with fonts
