<h4 id="rzaluhptraster">Host print transform in raster mode</h4>
|
||
|
|
<p>In raster mode, the host print transform builds a raster image for each
|
||
|
|
page of the output. The raster image is then compressed. AFP™ fonts must be
|
||
|
|
installed on i5/OS before using the raster mode. Both the SCS-to-ASCII and
|
||
|
|
AFP-to-ASCII transforms support raster mode.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Reasons to use raster mode</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Raster mode preserves the relative position of text, images, barcodes,
|
||
|
|
and overlays if the output is positioned within the no print border of your
|
||
|
|
ASCII printer. Use raster mode to:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Transform SCS or AFP output to formats other than printer data streams.
|
||
|
|
The host print transform function can, for example, transform SCS or AFP output to TIFF
|
||
|
|
(Tagged Image File Format) for viewing or archiving.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Support SCS or AFP functions not available on your ASCII printer. For
|
||
|
|
example, the IBM® 4019 printer does not support multiple print orientations on the
|
||
|
|
same page.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Support the printing of AFP output spooled with DBCS or Unicode encoded
|
||
|
|
data.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Support printing of SCS output spooled with DBCS data on PCL
|
||

|
printers<img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li></ul>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Enable raster mode</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To enable raster mode:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Install IBM AFP Compatibility Fonts (option 8 of IBM i5/OS).</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>For better font support, install IBM AFP Font Collection for IBM Operating System
|
||
|
|
(5648–B45).</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>For SCS or AFP output containing double byte characters (DBCS) install the Advanced Function Presentation™ DBCS Fonts for AS/400 (5769-FN1). You can also install one of the DBCS
|
||
|
|
outline font features for the IBM AFP font collection. For AFP output containing
|
||
|
|
Unicode encoded data, install the AFP Unicode migration fonts or Additional
|
||
|
|
Fonts (Option 43 of i5/OS). For SCS output, you must also specify the i5/OS
|
||
|
|
system value QIGCCDEFNT (double byte coded font).</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Configure the host print transform to use a Workstation Customization
|
||
|
|
Object (WSCST) with the following tag:
|
||
|
|
<pre class="xmp">:RASTERMODE
|
||
|
|
SCS=YES
|
||
|
|
AFP=YES. </pre></li></ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>Raster mode does not support all printer data streams. Refer to <a href="../books/sc415605.pdf" target="_blank">Workstation Customization Programming</a>
|
||
|
|
<img src="wbpdf.gif" alt="Link to PDF" /> for detailed information
|
||
|
|
about raster mode support.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Limitations of raster mode</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The following are limitations of raster mode:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Raster mode requires more i5/OS resources and is slower than the host
|
||
|
|
print transform mapping mode.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Raster mode does not support dot matrix printers.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The host print transform can only produce raster images with 240 or 300
|
||
|
|
dots per inch (dpi). It does not support ink jet printers that have a resolution
|
||
|
|
of 360 or 720 dpi.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Raster mode does not support hardware justification of text.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>For SCS output that contains double-byte characters, you can specify
|
||
|
|
only one double-byte coded font. Select this font by setting the QIGCCDEFNT
|
||
|
|
system value.</li></ul>
