5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD
There are two ways to change fonts for word-processing documents:
either select a typestyle within the word-processing program or use a font-
change command from the Card’s command language in the document.
The word-processing program’s manual should describe how to change
the typestyles within the program.
Some word-processing programs, such as Text Management/38, do not
allow more than one typestyle number per line of text. In such cases, use
the font-change commands in the Card’s command language (see
Section 8.4.1).

The 5219 emulation allows 65 lines per page at 6 LPI for word-processing
documents and 66 lines per page at 6 LPI for data-processing documents.
The HP LaserJet printer allows a maximum of 63 lines per page at 6 LPI.
To print 65 lines, the 5250 Remote Emulator Card increases line spacing
from 6 lines per inch to about 6.25 lines per inch. This small change is
normally not noticeable. A similar small change is made to 8-LPI printing
on 8.5" x 11" letter size paper.
The printer prints up to 72 lines at 6 LPI in HP mode (the line spacing
may be slightly compressed to fit), or 70 lines at 6 LPI in IBM mode, on
each page of 8.27" x 11.69" A4 size paper.

Configure the printer setup on the Card for the paper size used most.
The Card only recognizes these paper sizes:
Letter Paper: 8.5" x 11" (216 x 280 mm)
Legal Paper: 8.5" x 14" (216 x 356 mm)
A4 Paper: 8.27" x 11.69" (210 x 297 mm)
If you choose any other paper dimensions in the word-processing program,
the 5250 Remote Emulator Card ignores them and uses the previous
paper-size choice. The “No Paper Size” selection uses the paper installed in
the tray, regardless of the paper’s size.
Selecting legal or A4 size paper dimensions on the DisplayWrite/36
“Change Page Format” screen causes the LaserJet display window to flash
“Legal Paper.” If the paper dimensions specified are different from letter,
legal, or A4, the paper size is unchanged.
In Text Management/38, the System/38 does not send paper
dimensions to the printer. Instead, it sends a forms message for legal paper
to the controlling workstation assigned to the printer. To change the paper
tray, take these steps:
