Documentation
Definition
Name of the print control which is to be used by the SAPscript printer driver to choose the print font when printing.
Print controls are maintained separately for each device type in the spool administration transaction.
According to the type of printer driver used, these print controls have different functions when printing:
Printer driver HPL2 for PCL-5 printers:
The function of this print control depends on the parameter "Scalable font":
For scalable printer fonts, this print control contains the PCL-5 font number.
Example: 4148 (4148 is the number of the PCL-5 font "Universe")
For non-scalable printer fonts, this print control contains the full PCL-5 command to select character sets and fonts when printing in landscape mode.
Example: ESC(0N ESC(s0p10h0s0b3T (selects "Courier" font in character set ISO 8859/1 with character pitch 10 cpi)
Printer driver POST for PostScript printers:
This print control contains the PostScript names of the font used when printing in landscape mode.
Example: Helvetica Oblique (selects PostScript font "Helvetica Oblique", that is, Helvetica italic font).
Printer driver PRES for PRESCRIBE printers:
This print control contains the PRESCRIBE command to choose fonts when printing in landscape mode.
Example: FONT 12; (selects PRESCRIBE font number 12).
Printer driver STN2 for line printers:
This print control contains the printer command to choose fonts when printing in landscape mode.
Printer driver SWIN for SAPWIN and related device types:
The functions of this print control depends on the "Scalable font" parameter:
If "Scalable font" is deactivated, this print control contains the name of the MS Windows font to be used when printing in landscape mode.
Example: Courier New (selects Windows font "Courier New")
If "Scalable font" is activated, this print control contains the identification of the MS Windows character set ("wincharset") to be used to output the font specified using print control 1. Possible values currently known for wincharset are:
0 ANSI_CHARSET - Standard Windows character set (Latin 1)
1 DEFAULT - In this case, MS Windows automatically determines the character set based on the font used. This is useful with fonts with built-in fixed character sets, such as OCR-A
2 SYMBOL - Windows symbol character set

129 HANGEUL - Korean character set
134 GB2312 - Simplified Chinese (VR China)
