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
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.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Unattended Printer Operation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
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.

This is the IBM42XX help version 1.218.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Printer Settings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
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.
