4019 printer information

The 4019 is supported on i5/OS by treating it as an emulated version of another device. In some respects the result achieved with the 4019 is not identical to the emulated device. The following table expresses capabilities in terms of the emulated printers, but indicates some situations in which the 4019 result exceeds that of the emulated device. See QWP4019 program for information on how to work with your emulated 4019 printer to make the 4019 resident fonts available.

Note that image, graphics, and bar codes are not supported under any emulation or means of attachment.

Pay special attention to the treatment of fonts and the footnotes relating to page length and width.

The following table lists the ways that you can attach the 4019 printer, the emulation method used, and the function provided by the combination of the attachment and emulation methods. In this table a supported function is indicated by an X.

Notes:
1
Existing applications or documents might not fit on the 4019 page since there is an unprintable border around the outside edge. You might have to change the margins and lines per page (and re-paginate in some cases) to obtain the desired output.

This unprintable area applies to both envelopes and paper of any size. The unprintable area is 6.35 mm (0.25 in) from the sides and 4.23 mm (0.17 in) from the top and bottom. This results in an 8-inch writing line on 8.5 by 11 inch paper and a 7.7-inch writing line on A4 paper. With 6 LPI for example, this yields 64 lines on an 11-inch page or 68 lines on A4 paper.

Consideration should be given to the effect of this unprintable area when a document is formatted to assure that it prints correctly. If data is formatted to print beyond the printable area on the sides, the excess will print as an additional short line.

2
LPI(9.0) is not supported by the 5219 printer; therefore, LPI(9.0) is not supported for any of the 5219 emulations.
3
On the Create Printer File (CRTPRTF), Change Printer File (CHGPRTF), and Override with Printer File (OVRPRTF) commands you can avoid direct specification of a font by using FONT(*CPI). This allows the system to default to any font that supports the requested CPI value. However, the defaulted font might be one that is not supported on the 4019. An unsupported font will cause printing to halt and require operator intervention. We therefore recommend that you specify FONT explicitly on these commands.
4
CPI(5.0) is not supported by the 5219; therefore, CPI(5.0) is not supported for any of the 5219 emulations.
