Command No. 26: Truncate / Wrap
Selects whether the printer should wrap or truncate text lines longer than 8 inches. For printing on
normal or wide paper (14 7/8"), select WRAP, this allows printing to the full extent of the paper width.
The printer wraps printing beyond the margin to the next line (if the printer is configured for that paper
size).
When using narrow paper (8.5"), you may select TRUNCATE. This ignores any printing beyond 8".
Documents must be formatted to fit the narrower paper, since the text beyond the 8" margin will truncate
(i.e. not print).

Command No. 28: 15 CPI Printing
Determines how host commands for 15 CPI printing should be executed.
The I-O 5250 printer emulation module 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.
Value Description
*0
No, prints 15 CPI as 17.1 CPI
1
Yes, prints 15 CPI as 15 CPI
Example:
&%Z28,1
This Host Download command sets the I-O 5250 printer emulation
module to "artificially" produce 15 CPI printing.

Command No. 30: IBM Drawer 4
Matches the host’s Paper Drawer 4 command with a physical paper source from the printer. When the
host sends a command to the printer to feed from paper drawer 4, the printer will feed from the paper
source assigned to paper drawer 4. Consult the printer’s user’s guide for the available paper sources
and respective numbers.
