Specifying input parameters SEFFNT command When you print a job on large sized paper (such as 11 by 17 inch or A3), the paper must feed with its short edge as the leading edge. This is called "short edge feed" (SEF). The SEFFNT command enables or disables the short edge feed font mapping feature. SEFFNT creates customized mapping files (of the type .LIB) and triggers the system to invoke short edge feed font mapping. It is used in conjunction with the PDE currently in effect. In order to maintain the current definition of landscape and portrait in these jobs, you must define a mapping in which every landscape font used in a SEF job has a portrait equivalent and vice versa. When the system recognizes a SEF job, it scans the PDE font list and substitutes these fonts with font mappings defined in the JSL. If you specify that font mappings are contained in a file, the input task checks to see if this file exists. If the mapping file, or a font file that has been mapped to, does not exist, job processing continues using the font specified in the PDE command. If SEF font mapping is in effect, and if no mapping exists for a font referenced in a PDE, you receive a Continue or Abort Input message on the screen, which gives you the option to continue processing using the font specified in the PDE or to abort the job. The SEFFNT command has different effects depending on the context: • Bypassing font mapping (SEFFNT MAP=NONE) • Mapping contained in the JDL (SEFFNT MAP=label) • Standalone mapping files (SEFFNT MAP=fileid) • Creation of a mapping file (label: SEFFNT SEFMAP= (...)) NOTE: You cannot specify both a MAP and a SEFMAP parameter in the same SEFFNT command. 2-44 Using LCDS Print Description Language
