5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD
For example, when the ProCollection
®
cartridge is loaded in the printer,
the codes embedded in the following sentence will cause the word “saves”
to print in bold Helvetica
®
instead of plain Courier:
On screen: Quality ¬Q45 saves ¬Q85 you time and money.
Prints as: Quality saves you time and money.
NOTE
The host may send the original font code to the printer at the beginning
of each page. If this happens, put a font-change command at the
beginning of each page of the document.
If the font-change command changes the pitch, the host may continue
to format each line with the original font-ID pitch. Text Management/38
and some other word-processing programs don’t let you specify more than
one font ID per line.
Font IDs and font-change commands for the fonts and font cartridges
used by the 3812 and 5219 printer emulations are listed in Appendix C.
Format font-change commands this way:
• 3812 Printer Emulation: Enter font-change commands for 3812
emulation using the format ¬Qn, where ¬ is a “logical not” (Shift 6),
Q indicates a font change, and n is the typestyle number (font ID).
• 5219 Printer Emulation: Enter either of two types of font-change
commands that you can use with 5219 emulation:
¬QHL selects fonts from HP font cartridges: ¬ is a “logical not” (Shift
6), Q indicates a font change, H indicates the HP font cartridge, and L
is one or more uppercase letters that indicate a particular font in the
cartridge;
¬QIn selects fonts from IBM font cartridges: ¬ is a “logical not”
(Shift 6), Q indicates a font change, I indicates the IBM font cartridge,
and n is the typestyle number (font ID).

You can also insert commands into your document that perform other
functions, such as enabling true 6-LPI printing, causing the Card to ignore
format commands from the host, and sending the printer an ASCII ESC
command. These commands, shown below, are similar to the font-change
commands.
