Specifies the default FGID (Font Typeface Global Identifier),
which identifies the default resident font the printer uses.
The default FGID is 416, which specifies Courier 10 point as
the default resident font.
To display the list of fonts and FGIDs the printer supports,
print out a list of IPDS resident fonts (see "Printing a List of
IPDS Resident Fonts" on page 30).
Selects characters-per-inch (pitch) for the default font. Valid
values are 5.0 to 30.0 in tenths of an inch. The default value
is 10.
Turns valid printable area checking on or off.
v ON—the printer checks for pels that fall outside the
intersection of the logical and physical pages. If pels fall
outside the area, the printer reports an error to the host if
the IPDS Exception Handling Control command setting
requires error reporting.
v OFF—The printer does not report pels outside the valid
printable area.
Sets the print offset in the X (horizontal) direction. nnn can
be from -999 to 999. The default setting is 0 pels. Positive
values move the starting point for printing to the right of
the physical point of origin. Negative values move the
starting point for printing to the left. The physical point of
origin is towards the top left corner of a portrait page. If
you rotate the page, the physical point of origin rotates as
well.
Note: The X-OFFSET and Y-OFFSET options are intended to
allow line printer print jobs to fit on a page where
edge-to-edge printing is not possible. Using X-OFFSET and
Y-OFFSET is NOT recommended when generating new
applications, especially duplex applications.
Sets the print offset in the Y (vertical) direction. nnn can be
from -999 to 999. The default setting is 0 pels. Positive
values move the starting point for printing down from the
physical point of origin. Negative values move the starting
point for printing up. The physical point of origin is
towards the top left corner of a portrait page. If you rotate
the page, the physical point of origin rotates as well.
Note: The X-OFFSET and Y-OFFSET options are intended to
allow line printer print jobs to fit on a page where
edge-to-edge printing is not possible. Using X-OFFSET and
Y-OFFSET is NOT recommended when generating new
applications, especially duplex applications.
