TN5250e Font Table
Introduction The SCS/TNe Emulation has a programmable font table, which con-
tains the conversion between the IBM font IDs (sent from the sys-
tem) to the internal fonts used in the printer. The font table has a
limit of 50 fonts + 3 fonts used for COR (Computer Output Reduc-
tion). The SCS/TNe Emulation will detect free font table positions.
When attempts to program more than 50 IBM fonts are made, it will
print out a message and a font table status sheet. This status sheet
has the IBM IDs indicated in the second column. To free font posi-
tions the DEL parameter in the PRGFNT command has to be used.
Alternatively, an existing IBM font definition can be overwritten with
the PRGFNT command.
The PRGFNT DEL command deletes an IBM font defined in the font
table. This is necessary if more than 50 different IBM font IDs are
programmed in the font table. It is not necessary to use the PRGFNT
DEL
command if an existing IBM font ID is used. In that case, the
PRGFNT command overwrites all information attached to the previ-
ous font definition.
