Re: Infoprint 40, twinax to TCP/IP, shrinks font - solution

Thanks Pat,
Your working InfoPrint 40 looked like mine. I ended up creating a WSCST
for this printer and setting the CPICOR values as follows:

:CPICOR
CPI=10
ASCIIFNT= 204
FNTWTH= 108
FNTATR= 1
DATA =''X.
:CPICOR
CPI=12
ASCIIFNT= 223
FNTWTH= 96
FNTATR= 1
DATA =''X.
:CPICOR
CPI=15
ASCIIFNT= 281
FNTWTH= 72
FNTATR= 1
DATA =''X.

Search on document numbers 17994524, 5381803, 8703311

Between those 3 documents, you will be able to control the font and fill
the
page the way it should be.

I would print the documents and save them... it will come up again.

Here is a working INFOPRINT 40

We're getting a Power 7 soon, and need to shed the final few twinax
devices. I'm starting with an IBM Infoprint 40. It's been on the
network for ages, allowing PCs to print to it. Works great either that
way or via twinax. Deleted the device description, created a new one
*LAN 3812 and the font used is noticeably smaller than the one used by
the twinax interface. Tried IBM PJL, HP PJL, IBM IPP (writer abends)
and IBM SNMP.
