AXIS 5470e User’s Manual Section 20: IPDS Overview

IPDS Fonts

This section describes how IPDS fonts are handled by the AXIS 5470e.

There are two different approaches to font handling:

• downloading fonts from the host.

• using fonts that are already resident in the printer.

Both methods are supported by the AXIS 5470e.

Host Downloaded

fonts

IPDS provides functions for downloading fonts from the host

computer. The font resolutions of 240, 300 and 600 dpi are

automatically converted by AXIS 5470e to the resolution of the

attached printer.

Note:

Printer Resident Fonts

The rest of this section deals with printer resident fonts. The non-

standard PostScript fonts are resident in the AXIS 5470e (OCR-B is

one example), so you do not need font cards etc. to use the listed

fonts.

In IPDS mode, printer resident fonts can be selected by the system

referring to the FGID (Font Global IDentifier) and FW (Font Width).

AXIS 5470e supports a large set of resident fonts.

Note:

AS/400 downloaded fonts requires [AFP = *YES] in the AS/400 device description.

(IBM Mainframe only) For PSF systems, resident fonts need to be mapped to the

host font name and code page. In PSF/MVS, this is done using the APSRMARK

utility and in PSF/VM using the APRFTBLV (RSCS) or APRFTIDB files. For more

information, refer to the PSF/MVS and PSF/VM manuals.
