Supported Functions

The following lists some examples of supported functions:

TRC characters are supported.
This makes it possible to print four different fonts controlled by the TRC character. For example, SCRIPT files formatted for the 3800 model 1 using up to four fonts can be printed on printers supported by this interface.
Multiple copy groups can be defined in each FORMDEF.
The Invoke Medium Map control record in a file can be used to select copy groups.
Multiple page formats can be defined in each PAGEDEF.
The Invoke Date Map control record in a file can be used to select page formats.
Multiple print lines can be defined in one PAGEFORMAT or PAGEDEF.
This can be used for multiple printing, such as printing several logical pages on a single physical piece of paper.
Fields can be defined within a print line.
This allows:
- Printing different parts of one record at different positions on the paper
- Printing different parts of one record using different fonts
- Printing fixed text not present in the file
Masks to determine whether files must be deleted when the printer has finished using them.
Performance can be improved by keeping modules in storage.
