LASER CARDS FOR HP 4000 TWINAX AND COAX PRINTERS

10.2 Coax Host Printing

With the Laser Card interface installed and a 9-pin to coax host adapter cable
attached, your printer emulates a 3287, 3262, 3268, 3812-1, 4028, 4214, or 4224
(non-IPDS) printer on your 3270-type host system.

10.3 Selecting Fonts

You can select a printer resident font or a font from an optional font cartridge in
the printer by entering a font change command in the document. The font-
change commands take the following format:
&%[P or L][font ID]
The &% (or the alternate beginning delimiter selected with command 40) is
the delimiter that signals the interface that the information following is a
command. The letter P (portrait) or L (landscape) controls the orientation of the
printing. The font ID number (5 digits) selects the font to be used for printing.
Refer to Appendix A for a list of fonts and their font IDs.
For example:
&%L00086 selects Prestige 12 CPI font in landscape orientation.
The font ID number must select a font available in the printer or in the
installed cartridge. If the proper cartridge is not installed, or the font does not
exist on the cartridge, then the printer will automatically select an alternate
landscape font for printing. Multiple font changes can be made in a document as
long as all fonts are in the same orientation. Changes in orientation (portrait or
landscape) automatically eject the page. A font ID that changes the orientation
from the previous page must be on the first line and first position of the page or a
blank page will be ejected. A blank page at the beginning of a print job is often
caused by a change in orientation.

10.4 Computer Output Reduction (COR)

Computer Output Reduction (COR) is an IBM printer feature that automatically
rotates data-processing reports to landscape orientation and compresses the text to
fit 198 columns x 66 lines on the page. COR is enabled by doing the following:
1. Select APO active with command 61 (value 0) or through the front panel.
2. Select COR for the paper source with commands 62-64 (value 0) or through
the front panel.
