ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> spool file ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A file containing output data that has been saved for later processing.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> spooling ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The process of temporarily storing print jobs while waiting for an available
printer or port at a print destination.  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.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> resolution ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

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.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> device font ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

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.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> download font ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A soft font copied (downloaded) to the memory of your printer.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> printer driver ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

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.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> queue ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A list of jobs waiting to be printed at a particular print destination.

See also spooling.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> system font ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

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.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> radio button ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

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.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> code page ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The character set used to display characters on the screen or print characters
on the printer.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> soft font ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Optional fonts shipped as files.  The soft-font files must be copied to the
hard disk before you can select them from programs.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> push button ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A rectangle with text inside.  Push buttons are used in windows for actions
that occur immediately when the push button is selected.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> font ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A given size and style of type.  A family of characters of a given size and
style; for example, 9-point Helvetica.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> outline font ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A font that enables its characters to be shaped with more flexibility (for
example, scaled to different sizes).


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> default ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A value, an attribute, or an option that is assumed when another is not
explicitly specified.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> path ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

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).

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Printer, Queue, and Program Job-Properties Setup ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Those properties, which give a print job such characteristics as resolution,
orientation, form, and font, can derive from three different sources:

 o If you submit a job (for example, from a DOS session) that does not have
   program-specific characteristics, and does not take on the job properties of
   its queue, the job is printed with the job properties you specified in the
   printer properties window during printer-driver setup.
 o If you submit a job (for example, from a Presentation Manager* program) that
   does not specify print-job characteristics, but does take on characteristics
   from its queue, the job is printed with the job properties you specified for
   that queue.
 o If your program enables you to set up job properties for a specific print
   file, the job is printed with those characteristics.  Program-specified job
   properties override defaults of either queue or printer properties.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Printer Messages ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The IBM* 5202 Quietwriter* III and the IBM 5204 Quickwriter* permit you to use
fonts from only one cartridge on a single page.  If a program tries to use
fonts from more than one cartridge on any one page, the printer driver returns
an error to the program.

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.

The system prompts you to insert a cartridge if a job requires a font, and the
printer-driver Cartridges window has the appropriate cartridge selected in the
Available Cartridges list, but not in the Currently Mounted list. Install the
cartridge to enable the job to be printed.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Unattended Printer Operation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

To maintain unattended operation of your printer:

 o Do not select any Available Forms for the manual paper or manual envelope
   sources; otherwise, the printer driver may issue a prompt for a cartridge,
   and operator intervention will be required.
 o Select, in the Available Cartridges list, only the cartridge actually
   installed in the cartridge slot; otherwise, the printer driver may issue a
   prompt for a cartridge, and operator intervention will be required.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Help Version ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This is the IBM52XX help version 1.210.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Printer Settings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

You must set two switches to Off on the IBM* 5202 Quietwriter III: Setup Switch
2 in Switch Group 1, and Setup Switch 4 in Switch Group 2. For more
information, refer to the IBM 5202 Guide to Operations, "Setup Switches"
section.
