3.3.13 Exception Control
It is often practical to suppress exception reporting on undefined characters and on position errors
(printing outside the valid printable area, VPA). This option overrides the Exception Handling Control
in the IPDS data stream.
Report All*
No suppression of exceptions. Exception reporting is controlled by the IPDS data
stream.
Sup Beyond VPA
Exception reporting on position errors (outside VPA) is suppressed. The printer
IPDS emulation will print the IPDS job but not report "08C1" printable area
exceptions or "0411" bar code exceptions to the host.
Sup Undef Char
If an undefined character is found, exception reporting is suppressed. The printer
IPDS emulation will print the IPDS job but not report "0821" undefined character
exceptions to the host.
Suppress Both
Both position errors and undefined character exceptions are suppressed.
3.3.14 Font Control
This option defines how strict the reporting will be if a selected font does not correspond to a valid
combination of code page and character set.
Relaxed*
The printer makes an intelligent decision concerning whether the selected combination of
code page and character set is adequately supported. A “Relaxed” setting will report very
few exceptions. If the selected font is not found, the printer will substitute with the
closest matching font. If a font/code page combination is selected, which is not fully
supported, characters may be missing.
Strict
A “Strict” setting reports exceptions when a requested font/code page or substituted
font/code page combination is not valid. The “Strict” setting prints all characters.
3.3.15 Font Type
This option selects the type of fonts used by the printer when a standard resident fixed pitch Courier,
Prestige, or Letter Gothic Font is requested by the host.
Use Scalable*
Use printer resident scalable fonts for Courier, Prestige, and Letter Gothic fonts when
bitmap font IDs are received from the host.
Use Bitmap
Use printer resident bitmap fonts for Courier, Prestige, and Letter Gothic fonts when
bitmap font IDs are received from the host.
