Not necessarily. You do need one of the OCR fonts on the 400. But you can use Host Print Transform to convert the spooled file for a specified printer MFG/MDL. The printer device type has to be *IPDS.

Problem with HPT is performance - all the work is done by the 400. A real IPDS printer will do the work at the printer. Also, special functions, overlays, fonts, etc., are downloaded once to a real IPDS printer, whereas HPT has to apply them to each page in turn.

All this info should be in one of the Printing xx redbooks

There's also a printing page at IBM with a nice sampler for printing. Look up QSAMPLER in infocenter or the new search engine at iSeries support.

Hi,

To print OCR chars, is it required that the printer be IPDS?

TIA,
Dave
