ROCESSING
When the system operator configures the printer on the host, a default
font ID is configured for the printer, which should be the most commonly
used font. The WP program may also have a default font ID. Since the
default font ID can vary depending on the system setup, ask your system
operator if you have questions about the default font ID.
To change the font, either use the font-change commands in the Card’s
command language, or select a font ID number within the word processing
program. Refer to the WP program’s manual for information on changing
font IDs within the program. See Section 8.4.3 for information on font-
change commands for word-processing documents.
The 5250 Remote Emulator Card allows bolding, underlining, and
super/subscripting by recognizing the host commands for these features
in both WP and DP applications. The 5250 Remote Emulator Card uses a
shadow print for bolding, even on small and italic fonts.

The printer prints up to 66 lines at 6 LPI in HP mode (the line spacing
may be compressed slightly to fit), or 64 lines at 6 LPI in IBM PPDS mode,
on each page of 8.5" x 11" letter-size paper. The System/36 only allows
65 lines per page on 8.5" x 11" letter-size paper.
The printer prints up to 72 lines at 6 LPI in HP mode (the line spacing
may be slightly compressed to fit) or 70 lines at 6 LPI in IBM PPDS mode
on each page of 8.27" x 11.69" A4 size paper.

Configure the printer setup on Card for the paper size used most. The
Card only recognizes these paper sizes:
Letter Paper: 8.5" x 11" (216 x 280 mm)
Legal Paper: 8.5" x 14" (216 x 356 mm)
A4 Paper: 8.27" x 11.69" (210 x 297 mm)
If you choose any other paper dimensions in the word-processing program,
the 5250 Remote Emulator Card ignores them and uses the previous
paper-size choice. The “No Paper Size” selection uses the paper installed
in the tray, regardless of the paper’s size.

ELECTION
The 5250 Remote Emulator Card selects paper from bin 2 only if the
optional paper tray is installed in the printer. If bin 2 or 3 is chosen in a
host document, the printer will print from bin 1 unless the optional paper
tray is installed.
