ACCESSING PRINTER FEATURES FROM IPDS

This section compares the Xerox font sets and code pages
provided for your Xerox printer to those provided for the IBM
4028, IBM 3812, and 3816 printers. 

The Xerox MRP Family IPDS interface option uses two font sets
to emulate the three IBM IPDS printers:

•

The IBM 3812 and 3816 printers have identical font sets,
which are emulated in the Xerox MRP Family 3812/16 font
set. 

•

The IBM 4028 font set is emulated by the Xerox MRP Family
4028 font set.

The 3812/16 font set has 37 standard fonts.  The following IBM
fonts are not included:

•

Roman Text 10 pitch (FGID 41)

•

Serif Text 10 pitch (FGID 42)

•

•

There are a number of font substitutions available on the IBM
printers that are not present in the 3812/16 font set.  IBM has a
number of alternative font sets available for the IBM 3812 and
3816 printers to meet special requirements.

The Xerox MRP Family 4028 font set has 30 standard fonts.  The
