or 4224 (non-IPDS) printer on your
3270-type host system.

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
selects the font to be used for
printing.
For example:
&%L086 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.
7.10 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.
