Override Host; Graphics Quality; Bar Code Quality; Image Quality - IBM 6400 Programmer's Reference Manual

Installation and Configuration

Override Host

Override Host determines if the operator panel overrides the IPDS application
commands for the following IPDS menu values:

1. Graphics Quality

2. Bar Code Quality

3. Image Quality.

Note: No other IPDS menu values or printer operator panels are affected by
Override Host. Only the three values listed above are affected.
Select one of the two following values:
Disable (Default)
Enable
Graphics Quality
Determines the quality for graphics printing. Override Host must be enabled to
use these settings. Here are the supported resolutions in pels:
High
Medium (Default)
Low
Note:
The higher the resolution you select, the slower the print speed. So when
selecting a resolution, try to balance the resolution quality your application
requires with how fast you want the print job to print.
Bar Code Quality
Determines the quality for bar code printing. Override Host must be enabled to
use Bar Code Quality. Below are the values for non-rotated bar code.
High (Default)
Low
Note:
The higher the resolution you select, the slower the print speed. So when
selecting a resolution, try to balance the resolution quality your application
requires with how fast you want the print job to print.
Image Quality
Determines the quality for image printing. Override Host must be enabled to use
Image Quality. If Override Host is disabled, then the image is assumed to be 144
by 144 and the image is printed at 120 by 144.

6400 IPDS
Does not allow operator panel settings to override IPDS
application commands.
Does allow operator panel settings to override IPDS
application commands.
Vertical is 180; horizontal is 144
Vertical is 120; horizontal is 144
Vertical is 60; horizontal is 72
Vertical is 120; horizontal is 144
Vertical is 60; horizontal is 72
Accepts images with 120 by 144 and prints images 120 by
144. With this setting, the image is printed as is and
requires no conversion. Because no conversion is
required, there is more fidelity between the original image
and the printed image.
