Using LCDS Print Description Language

If you want to provide consistency between jobs that are
printed on the DP EPS and on a 4635 or DP180 LPS, you
can adjust the alignment by 35 dots using the DP EPS queue
management windows. (Refer to the “Adjusting alignment”
section of your printer operator guide for this procedure.)

PDE FONTS

parameter: points

to note

If different fonts are used on the same print line, character
heights of all fonts used in the print line are compared to find
the largest font in the line. (The line spacing value that was
defined, or specified as an override, for that font is used to
determine the position of the next print line.)

Table 4-85. PDE FONTS parameter options and definitions

Option

Definition

f

font.
Specifies a one to six alphanumeric character identifier (consisting of at least
one letter) corresponding to a font cataloged on the system disk (you can use
up to 128 fonts with the font indexing capability).

s

spacing.
Specifies an optional override line spacing value defined by either the print
lines per inch (LPI) or the dots per print line (DOTS or XDOTS) to be associated
with the font. Maximum value for s is 30 LPI; minimum value is 10 dots.
There is no default LPI value for s.

unit

A unit of measure for the override line spacing to be associated with a font. The
unit can be one of the following:

LPI (lines per inch)

DOTS (dots per print line at 300 dpi)

XDOTS (dots per print line at 600 dpi)

The default unit is LPI.
