Using LCDS Print Description Language

If the host application program uses ANSI carriage control
commands, the host operating system converts each
command to a valid 3211 or 4245 channel command before
sending it to the printer for online printing. The printing
system online interface (as well as the 3211 and 4245)
rejects any commands other than those processed.
Therefore, the only appropriate PCCTYPE for an online JSL
file is IBM3211, which is the online default.

Because the carriage control command is sent before the
data record (rather than as part of it), offsets to fields (such as
DJDE prefix and font index) are typically one byte less for
online than offline mode, since the offline carriage control
byte is part of the data record. For the same reason, the
online LINE DATA parameter typically has a default offset of
0, rather than 1.

VOLUME KANJI

Specifies the double-byte character printing mode. Allows
printing of data streams of intermixed single-byte and double-
byte characters.

Syntax

VOLUME KANJI = {YES | NO}

Options

Default

NO

VOLUME KANJI

parameter: point

to note

This parameter functions the same as the VOLUME DBCS
parameter, which is the preferred method of specifying double-
byte character printing mode. The VOLUME KANJI parameter is
supported only for compatibility purposes.

Table 2-65. VOLUME KANJI parameter options and definitions

Option

Definition

YES

Allows printing of a data stream of intermixed single-byte and double-byte
characters.

NO

Allows printing of only single-byte characters.
