If the printer is capable of printing any font at any pitch (CPI), then this

PFS should set the pitch for the current font. If a specific font is needed to

achieve 17 CPI, then this PFS should be defined to select that font.
If Option 4F — CPI/Font Order is set to 00 (!AGILE!4F=00;), then this

PFS will be sent before the GFID for the font is sent. If Option 4F — CPI/

Font Order is set to 01 (!AGILE!4F=01;), then this PFS will be sent after

the GFID for the font is sent.

20 — COR 10

Select a landscape font greater than or equal to 13 pitch (preferably equal

to). This PFS is sent to the printer when the 5250 ALLY’s page orientation

algorithm has selected computer output reduction, and when the System

has specified a font with a pitch less than or equal to 10 CPI (using either

an SCS Set Character Density command or an SCS Set FID through GFID

command).
If the printer is capable of printing any font at any pitch (CPI), then this

PFS should set the pitch for the current font to greater than or equal to 13

CPI, in order to horizontally compress the print enough for 13.2 inches of

print at the system’s CPI value to fit on 10 inches of paper at the printer’s

CPI value. If a specific font is needed to achieve 13 CPI, then this PFS

should be defined to select that font.
Example: 10 CPI (system’s CPI value) x 13.2 inches (system’s expected

page width) = 132 columns. 132 columns

÷

10 inches (actual paper width)

= 13 CPI.

21 — COR 12

Select a landscape font greater than or equal to 15 pitch. This PFS is sent

to the printer when the 5250 ALLY’s page orientation algorithm has

selected computer output reduction, and when the System has specified a

font with a pitch less than or equal to 12 CPI (using either an SCS Set

Character Density command or an SCS Set FID through GFID command).
If the printer is capable of printing any font at any pitch (CPI), then this

PFS should set the pitch for the current font to greater than or equal to 15

CPI, in order to horizontally compress the print enough for 13.2 inches of

print at the system’s CPI value to fit on 10 inches of paper at the printer’s

CPI value. If a specific font is needed to achieve 15 CPI, then this PFS

should be defined to select that font.
