Spooling jobs frees system resources from waiting for a relatively slow device to provide output, and keeps the contents of each print job separated from the contents of every other print job. ═══ resolution ═══ Density or sharpness of an image. For bit-map material, resolution is expressed in dots-per-inch, with higher quality output having more dots-per-inch. You can adjust resolution for some printers. Low-resolution images are printed faster, but appear coarser than high-resolution images. A printer's memory size might limit the resolution you can choose. ═══ device font ═══ A font particular to the printer. Some device fonts have size and language-support restrictions. Printer device fonts are internal to the printer hardware, or they can be installed as a card, or downloaded to printer memory. They are printed faster than system fonts. See also system font. ═══ download font ═══ A soft font copied (downloaded) to the memory of your printer. ═══ printer driver ═══ A file that provides device-independence. This file describes the physical characteristics of a printer and is used to convert graphics into device-specific data at the time of printing. ═══ queue ═══ A list of jobs waiting to be printed at a particular print destination. See also spooling. ═══ system font ═══ One of the general fonts available for screen display and printing. You can specify any size for this font, and it supports any language. Contrast with device font. ═══ radio button ═══ A circle with text beside it. Radio buttons are combined to show you a fixed set of choices from which only one can be selected. The circle is partially filled when a choice is selected. ═══ code page ═══ The character set used to display characters on the screen or print characters on the printer. ═══ soft font ═══ Optional fonts shipped as files. The soft-font files must be copied to the hard disk before you can select them from programs. ═══ push button ═══ A rectangle with text inside. Push buttons are used in windows for actions that occur immediately when the push button is selected. ═══ font ═══ A given size and style of type. A family of characters of a given size and style; for example, 9-point Helvetica. ═══ outline font ═══ A font that enables its characters to be shaped with more flexibility (for example, scaled to different sizes). ═══ default ═══ A value, an attribute, or an option that is assumed when another is not explicitly specified. ═══ path ═══ A statement that indicates where a file is stored. The path consists of the drive letter and all the directories that must be opened to get to a particular file. The directory names are separated by a backslash (\). The first backslash represents the root directory. The first path in the example below shows a file that is located in the root directory of a diskette in drive A; the second path in the example shows a path to a printer driver file on drive C: A:\ C:\OS2\DLL\IBM4019 A path is sometimes followed by a file name and file-name extension (if there is one). ═══ check mark ═══ A symbol that shows that a choice is currently active. This symbol is used in menus and check boxes. See check box. ═══ check box ═══ A square box with associated text that represents one choice in a set of multiple choices. When you select a choice, a check mark appears in the check box to indicate that the choice is in effect. You can clear the check box by selecting the choice again. Contrast with radio button. ═══ 22. IBM Trademarks ═══ Trademark of the IBM Corporation ═══ 23.

Program-specified job properties override defaults of either queue or printer properties. ═══ Printer Messages ═══ For those model printers that support various paper sources and forms, the system issues a Forms Mismatch error message, and prevents a job from printing if the form selected for the job is not also selected in the Form Connections window. Load the appropriate form for the job, then access the printer-driver Form Connections window, changing the selection there to match the form required by the waiting job. ═══ Unattended Printer Operation ═══ To maintain unattended operation of your printer, do not select manual paper or manual envelope paper sources; otherwise, the printer driver might issue a prompt for a form, and operator intervention will be required. ═══ Help Version ═══ This is the IBM42XX help version 1.218. ═══ Printer Settings ═══ To avoid printer errors, set up your printer as follows: o If you have one of the IBM* 4224 Printer models, at the printer's operator panel, set the Characters-per-inch setting to 10 CPI, and the Condensed Print Selection to 16.7 CPI. Consult the information that comes with your printer for instructions in operating the panel. o When using the sheet-feeder option with the IBM Proprinter* III, III XL, X24, XL24, X24E, and XL24E, set up your printer and sheet feeder as described in the information supplied with your sheet feeder. o If you have an IBM 2380, 2381, 2390, 2391, 4226 or ExecJet* Printer, do not lock the font or pitch at the operator panel on the printer. o If you have an IBM Proprinter X24, XL24, X24E, XL24E, or an IBM 2390, 2391 or 4070 Printer, turn off the Alternate Graphics Mode on your printer. For a detailed explanation refer to the printer's operator manual. o If you have an IBM ExecJet Printer, make sure that your printer is in IBM ExecJet Printer/IBM 4208 mode. Consult the information that comes with your printer for instructions on how to set the emulation mode. o If you have an IBM 4070 IJ Printer, make sure that your printer is in IBM 4070 IJ Printer/IBM Proprinter X24E mode. Consult the information that comes with your printer for instructions on how to set the emulation mode. o If you have an IBM 4070 IJ printer, quality fonts will print as draft, if High Speed is on. If this is undesirable, turn off High Speed on your printer. For a detailed explanation refer to the printer's operator manual.
