PQ-8P, PQ-8S
NOTE
IBM Proprinters cannot print
15 CPI. The PQ-8 has the
ability to “artificially” print
15 CPI by printing 17.1 CPI
and adjusting the spacing
through insertion of a space
in graphics mode. Although
this option allows users to
effectively print 15 CPI (e.g.
when using pre-printed
forms) it significantly slows
down the printer.
Example: &%Z28,1 sets the printer
interface to “artificially” produce 15
CPI printing.
COMMAND 32: 11" x 17" (A3)
PRINTING
HP PCL only. Forces the printer to
print on 11 x 17 inch or A3 size
paper, even when the host sends
requests for smaller paper sizes (i.e.
letter, legal, A4, Executive). This
only applies to printers capable of
printing on 11 x 17 inch or A3 size
paper (like the HP LaserJet 4V
printer).

11 x 17 (A3)
selection is ON
NOTE
With the 11 x 17 (A3)
selection ON, the PQ-8’s
APO feature (if turned ON)
will automatically rotate all
documents/reports with
dimensions of 11 x 17 inches
or smaller. To achieve COR
in this case, the
document/report has to be
larger than 11 x 17 inches.
Example: &%Z32,1 Forces printing
on large paper. The PQ-8 will
request the printer to load A3 size
paper when the host requests A4
or A3, and 11 x 17 inch paper in all
other cases.
COMMAND 33: DUPLEX
PRINTING
HP PCL only. Sets the interface to
duplexing mode. This applies only
when a printer with duplexing
capability is attached.
