5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD
8.3 5219 Printer Emulation
The 5250 Remote Emulator Card’s 5219 emulation is for LaserJet printers.
The HP LaserJet printer file is automatically used when 5219 emulation is
selected.
The 5250 Remote Emulator Card allows bolding, underlining, and
super/subscript by recognizing the host commands for these features
for DP or WP applications. The different character styles and pitch are
controlled through the IBM typestyle number or font ID. The 5250
Remote Emulator Card uses the IBM typestyle number to select an HP font
from a cartridge. The cartridges shown in the Typestyle Reference Chart in
Appendix C are the only fonts supported.
The system operator will specify a default font ID when configuring the
5219 on the host system, which should be the font ID most commonly
used. Select one of the font-ID numbers from the Typestyle Reference
Chart in Appendix C with an asterisk (*) indicating the default font ID,
then change it as necessary in the DP or WP document.
If data-processing reports are sent to the printer, typestyles in the
printer’s CL or OCL statement must be changed.

Condensed print and “8 lpi” commands do not work in data-processing
documents, because 5219 printers only understand font-ID commands.
For DP documents, such as RPG-generated printouts, the Card uses
the system-default typestyle unless you change the fonts by specifying the
typestyle in the OCL or CL printer statement. Since the host only accepts
certain fonts in OCL and CL statements, you can use only the font IDs
marked with an asterisk (*) from the Typestyle Reference Chart in
Appendix C.
To change typestyles in DisplayWrite/36, use one of the following
commands:
[CMD20], selection No. 1
, “Document Option”
[CMD20], selection No. 4
, “Display Current Format”
[CMD9], selection No. 7
, “Change Font”
See the DisplayWrite
®
user’s guide for more information on changing
typestyles.

When you configure a 5219 address on the host, you must select a default
font ID. The normal value is 11 (or 0B in hex), which is a 10-pitch font.
