Specifying print format parameters
Using LCDS Print Description Language 4-33
LINE OVERPRINT
parameter
example
Following is an example of the LINE OVERPRINT parameter.
LINE PCC
Specifies the position (and possible translation) of the printer
carriage control field.
NOTE: The PCC parameter is ignored in online printing by the
DP EPS, because online carriage control is derived from
commands that are sent using the online channel protocol.
However, you may create a JSL containing this parameter and
transfer it to another laser printing system for use with offline
printing.
Syntax LINE PCC = (offset [, transtype])
Options
Default (0, NOTRAN)
LINE OVERPRINT=(MERGE,NODISP), VFU=V1,
DATA=(1,132), PCCTYPE=ANSI,
PCC=(0,NOTRAN);
Table 4-36. LINE PCC parameter options and definitions
Option Definition
offset A number specifying the byte offset of the user portion of the record within the
user portion of each record to the printer carriage control (PCC) field.
The default offset value is 0.
transtype translation type.
Specifies whether or not the printer carriage control byte is to undergo code
translation.
This option has the following alternatives:
• TRAN: Indicates that the byte is to be translated into standard EBCDIC
before being applied, using the translation defined in the CODE parameter
of the VOLUME command.
• NOTRAN: Prohibits translation.
The transtype default is NOTRAN.
