SEFFNT command
When you print a job on large sized paper (such as 11 by 17 inch
or A3), the paper must feed with its short edge as the leading
edge. This is called “short edge feed” (SEF).
The SEFFNT command enables or disables the short edge feed
font mapping feature. SEFFNT creates customized mapping files
(of the type .LIB) and triggers the system to invoke short edge
feed font mapping. It is used in conjunction with the PDE
currently in effect.
In order to maintain the current definition of landscape and
portrait in these jobs, you must define a mapping in which every
landscape font used in a SEF job has a portrait equivalent and
vice versa.
When the system recognizes a SEF job, it scans the PDE font
list and substitutes these fonts with font mappings defined in the
JSL. If you specify that font mappings are contained in a file, the
input task checks to see if this file exists. If the mapping file, or a
font file that has been mapped to, does not exist, job processing
continues using the font specified in the PDE command.
If SEF font mapping is in effect, and if no mapping exists for a
font referenced in a PDE, you receive a Continue or Abort Input
message on the screen, which gives you the option to continue
processing using the font specified in the PDE or to abort the job.
The SEFFNT command has different effects depending on the
context:
•
Bypassing font mapping (SEFFNT MAP=NONE)
• Mapping contained in the JDL (SEFFNT MAP=label)
• Standalone mapping files (SEFFNT MAP=fileid)
• Creation of a mapping file (label: SEFFNT SEFMAP= (...))
NOTE: You cannot specify both a MAP and a SEFMAP
parameter in the same SEFFNT command.
