How to change the font set

DocOut™ comes with three IBM font sets: 3812, 3816, and 4028. In PrintGuide™ there is a one to one correspondence between the emulation selection and the font set. However, it is possible to override the binding between emulation (3812, 3816, and 4028) by changing the contents of the DocOut™ font directories (RES3812, RES3816, and RES4028) or by going through the following steps:

  1. In PrintGuide™; Upload the configuration from the DocOut™ PrintServer.
  2. Record the name of the logical printer. You will need the name or description when you edit the configuration file. If the name is not already unique, you should double-click the logical printer and edit its description to make it unique.
  3. On the File menu, click Save As to save the configuration to a file (*.cf2).
  4. Open the file (*.cf2) in Notepad or another editor.
  5. In Notepad; Search for the name of the logical printer you recorded earlier. Scroll down to the first occurrence of "TRANSFORM_SEL IPDS". Record the ID (12).
  6. Search for the text "IPDS 12" where 12 is the ID you recorded before.
  7. Scroll down to the first occurrence of "RESOURCEPATH". Change the value to the directory you want to use. The values include; "RES3812", "RES3816", and "RES4028".
  8. On the File menu, click Save to save the configuration to a file (*.cf2).
  9. In PrintGuide; On the PrintServer menu, click Update Configuration to download the modified configuration file (*.cf2).
