STEP 2: Compiling the font resources
If you are using an IPDS printer, you will need to create the PDF417 font resources from the
source files provided. Four fonts have been supplied: 2 for 240 DPI printers and 2 for 300, 600,
and 1200 DPI printers. NeoMedia recommends that your compile and install both fonts.
PSF/400 searches a default set of single byte character set libraries (
QFNT01
through
QFNT19
)
when looking for AFP font resources. NeoMedia recommends that you install our PDF417 fonts
in one of these libraries. If you have not installed custom fonts on your system before, you may
have to create a library (e.g.,
CRTLIB LIB(QFNT01)
). Note that we do not recommend that
the fonts be installed in the IBM supplied library
QFNTCP
L.
The following commands demonstrate how to compile the font resources, installing them in the
QFNT01
library. Note that the order in which the files are compiled is important: a coded font’s
character set and code page must be compiled first (e.g.,
C0PD2206
and
T1PDF417
must be
compiled before
X0PD2206
). Since all four fonts use the same code page (
T1PDF417
), we
only need to compile it once:
CRTFNTRSC FNTRSC(QFNT01/T1PDF417) FILE(PDF Vxxxx /QFNTRSC)
CRTFNTRSC FNTRSC(QFNT01/C0PD2206) FILE(PDF Vxxxx /QFNTRSC)
CRTFNTRSC FNTRSC(QFNT01/X0PD2206) FILE(PDF Vxxxx /QFNTRSC)
CRTFNTRSC FNTRSC(QFNT01/C0PD2309) FILE(PDF Vxxxx /QFNTRSC)
CRTFNTRSC FNTRSC(QFNT01/X0PD2309) FILE(PDF Vxxxx /QFNTRSC)
CRTFNTRSC FNTRSC(QFNT01/C0PD3309) FILE(PDF Vxxxx /QFNTRSC)
CRTFNTRSC FNTRSC(QFNT01/X0PD3309) FILE(PDF Vxxxx /QFNTRSC)
CRTFNTRSC FNTRSC(QFNT01/C0PD3412) FILE(PDF Vxxxx /QFNTRSC)
CRTFNTRSC FNTRSC(QFNT01/X0PD3412) FILE(PDF
Vxxxx
/QFNTRSC)
NOTE: these fonts use the standard AFP font naming conventions. Thus, those are zeros in the
file names, not O's.
Any printer writers that will be using these fonts should be stopped and restarted to guarantee that
they find the new fonts.
