What Font Resources Are Needed To Print Dbcs Ascii And Euc; Determining What Code Page Your Print Jobs Use And Setting The Correct Environment Variable - Ricoh InfoPrint Pro C900AFP Manual

What font resources are needed to print DBCS ASCII and
EUC?
You can use the db2afp command to transform DBCS ASCII and EUC files that
use these code pages:
v 932 (Japanese PC)
v 950 (Traditional Chinese PC)
v 33722 or eucJP (Japanese EUC)
v 964 or eucTW (Traditional Chinese EUC)
v 970 or eucKR (Traditional Korean EUC)
Note: Code page 938 (Traditional Chinese PC) is not supported on Windows 2000.
If your files use code page 938, you cannot use InfoPrint Manager for Windows on
a Windows 2000 operating system to print them.
Your InfoPrint Manager server must be able to access the appropriate DBCS fonts
when you print the transformed files. DBCS fonts are available for the MVS, VM,
Windows 2000, and AIX operating systems as separately orderable licensed
programs. To make the fonts available on your InfoPrint Windows 2000 system,
you must make sure that you have installed the fonts on your system and then
make the double-byte fonts known to InfoPrint Manager for Windows.
For more information about setting up font resources to print DBCS fonts, see
"Fonts for printing DBCS ASCII and EUC" on page 262.
Determining what code page your print jobs use and setting
the correct environment variable
Before you transform a print job, you need to determine what code page it uses,
then set the PSFDBLANG environment variable to that code page. If the job was
created on an AIX or a Windows workstation, you can determine the code page
that the job uses by finding out what code page is active on that system. On the
system that the job was created on, open a Command Prompt window and type:
chcp
then press Enter. The system responds with
Active code page: xxx
where xxx represents a three- to five-digit number. Use this number to set the
PSFDBLANG environment variable with these steps.
1. On your InfoPrint Manager server system, click the Windows Start button and
2. In the Control Panel window, double-click System.
3. In the System Properties dialog, click Environment.
4. In the Variable field, type PSFDBLANG.
5. In Table 23 on page 195, locate the Code Page Value that you got from your
