Text Parameters
You can set the following general parameters for 3270, 5250, and VT display sessions.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| CPI | Specifies the number of characters to be printed per inch. If CPI was not set previously, a CPI value suitable for the font selected from the Font list box is assumed as the default. |
| LPI | Specifies the number of lines to be printed per inch. If LPI was not set previously, an LPI value suitable for the font selected from the Font list box is assumed as the default. |
| Maximum Number of Lines per Page | Specifies the maximum
number of lines per page. A number in the range 1–255 can be
specified. The default is 66.
When you set this to a value other than the default, Z and I Emulator for Windows uses it to scale the LPI and font to the best fit for the page. |
| Maximum Number of Characters per Line | Specifies the maximum
number of characters per line. A number in the range 1–255 can
be specified. The default is 132.
When you set this to a value other than the default, Z and I Emulator for Windows uses it to scale the CPI and font to the best fit for the page. |
| Font | Lists the fonts that can
be used with the currently selected printer.
The fonts in brackets [ ] are device fonts specific to the printer driver. The other fonts are graphics display interface (GDI) fonts printed in bit map formats. |
| Margins | This option maps the text on the
screen to the printed page size.
This option is disabled by default.
It is available for the following sessions:
|
| Top or Left Margin |
Specify the decimal number (either inches or centimeters, depending upon your location), which represents the offset that will be reserved as the margin. Note: The value entered must represent the distance from the paper's
edge. However, most Print Drivers enforce a nonprintable border (area).
The default (original value shown) represents the Print Driver's enforced
margin. Your input value cannot be less than that value; if it is,
the Driver's value is substituted for your value. Some printers have
an additional nonprintable border not represented in the Driver's
value. |
