8.2 3812 Printer Emulation
The 5250 Remote Emulator Card lets a local (attached to the PC) laser
printer that supports HP or PPDS modes emulate the IBM 3812 (non-
IPDS) printer. The 3812 printer provides font-changing capability, text
rotation, compression features called Computer Output Reduction (COR),
and Automatic Page Orientation (APO). The 5250 Remote Emulator
Card’s 3812 printer emulation provides font changes and a true 3812 COR
emulation. It also obeys host commands for duplexing like the IBM 3816
printer.
