QUESTION:
4029 printer card and AIX
I want to print reports from an application in the Polish character
set. That is available on the 4029 with a font card (#16 - code page
852). I would like to define a print queue that automatically
initializes the printer to use the font card 1 as the default. This
would enable the system to manage the printer, as opposed to requiring
the operator intervention to manually reconfigure each job.
---------- ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ----------
A: The command sent to the 4029 to set initial conditions is the 'ez'
parameter. The default value for this parameter is:
'\33.K\14\0\4\61\1 G_G {32} * {133} + ? G_v {8} = t {2} + ; c\201\
G_z ? G_O {3} = t G_u {8} * + e ? G_u {3} = t {32} + ; ; {128} + c
I.m0,m1,m2,m3,m4.'
The octal value '201' listed in this initialization string is the
value that selects the font source. That value needs to be changed to
'300' to have font card 1 selected as the default font source when
initializing the printer.
The 'set initial conditions command is documented in the Technical
reference for the IBM Laser Printer 4029 Series (SA40-0608) in
chapter 4.
The way to modify this value differs based on the operating system
level. In all cases you would enter 'smit chvirprt' and then select
the virtual printer number you need to change.
The next step differs based on the operation system level.
If on AIX3.2 or above from the next prompt enter 'ez~v' and enter.
This allows you to enter the vi editor and modify just the '201' field
in the 'ez' parameter to 300.
If on pre-AIX3.2 after selecting the virtual printer to change, you
would enter 'ez= .....' replacing the ..... with the complete string
for the ez attribute.
