Appendix A. Printer Characteristics
Some printers may not be able to print your output as designed. This appendix
describes some of the printer characteristics, such as pel density and Single Byte
(SBCS) and Double Byte (DBCS) Character Set support, that may affect the
printout. For more information about printer characteristics, refer to the
Advanced
Function Printing: Printer Information
, or appropriate documentation for your printer.

If the four-digit printer type isn't recognized by the AFP Utilities for AS/400, entering
another printer type recognized by the AFP Utilities for AS/400 will produce the
correct data stream.
The interface to specify the printer type has been changed so that as new printers
become available which have different characteristics than any others, the function
to support the printer type and list of supported printers can be added between
releases with Programming Temporary Fixes (PTFs).
