Bar Code Fonts - Non-resident bar code fonts also may be used. Check with
your font vendor for the availability of the desired 300-pel rasterized bar code
fonts.
Overlay Generation Language/370
With the Overlay Generation Language/370 (OGL/370), you can define overlays
used to create forms. The overlay components (offsets, line lengths, line thickness,
radii, and so on) are automatically scaled by the 3130 with the PSF software.
Some differences may occur with slight “stair-stepping” effects for diagonal lines
with rounded corners and some shading changes.
In addition, overlays created with OGL can specify other resources such as fonts
and page segments which may need to be considered for migration or conversion.
You should test applications using OGL/370 before migrating them to the 3130.
AS/400 Migration Considerations (IPDS-Only)
Here are some things to consider if you migrate your print workload to a 3130
attached to an AS/400 operating in the OS/400 environment.
Bolding of Characters
Both OfficeVision and Data Description Specification (DDS, the native OS/400 key
word HIGHLIGHT function) enable you to make characters bold by using a font
modification parameter. The printer automatically prints the indicated characters
bold for any font supported by the printer. The 3130 printer supports this same
function for the set of fonts resident in the printer that have bold versions. See
“AS/400 Bolding Function, Native and OfficeVision (IPDS-Only)” on page 50 for a
list of the 3130 fonts and what will occur when the bolding function is invoked.
Note: Note that bolding may cause changes to line length, and in some cases
may cause information to exceed the page width.
Enlarge Print Function
OfficeVision/400, the Advanced Function Presentation Utilities/400 and the Data
Description Specification (DDS, native OS/400) keyword for CHRSIZ enable you to
direct the printer to enlarge characters. This function is not supported on the 3130
using fonts selected by FGID (Font Global ID). This function is only supported
under DDS if you use GDDM fonts. GDDM fonts are selected by name, such as
ADMVMOB for Multinational Open Block.
Box Draw Function
OfficeVision lets you draw boxes with the cursor and then print them as drawn.
The 3130 supports this function if you specify ON for the AS/400 Box Draw
Enhancement printer configuration item. If you specify OFF for the AS/400 Box
Draw Enhancement printer, boxes drawn with OfficeVision will have breaks in them.
Note: To draw boxes correctly, the 3130 substitutes code page 1091 for code
page 259.
