Mapping host-resident to printer-resident code pages

Code pages are necessary for jobs to print. Some printers have code pages stored in memory or on a font card (printer resident code page); other printers do not.

Refer to the following table if one of the following is true:

• Your spooled files are directed to a 4224, 4230, 4234, 4247, or 64xx printer that is configured as an AFP™ printer.
• Your spooled files have a host resident code page (stored on the iSeries server) specified.

This table can help you determine what printer resident code page is substituted when your spooled file specifies a host resident code page instead of a registered code page identifier (ID).

This code page substitution is necessary because these printers do not support the downloading of 240-pel host resident fonts. Depending on the host resident code page name that is requested for a particular font reference, the appropriate registered code page ID value is selected to match (as closely as possible) your font request.

The Map fidelity column indicates whether or not the substituted printer resident code page is considered to be an exact match to the code page that is requested in your spooled file.
