Product Overview

3 pitch fonts designed for IBM 3800 printers on z/OS. These fonts are now a base element of z/OS. The architecture comprised several key components.

The JES (Job Entry Subsystem) managed the print jobs. Printer drivers translated the print data into a format the printer could understand. Font libraries stored the font data.

The communication between these components was managed by the z/OS operating system. The fonts were stored within system libraries. The printing process utilized the system's resources.

The primary method of interacting with Data1 Fonts involved specifying font characteristics within JCL. This included font selection, size, and other attributes. Security was managed at the z/OS system level.

Data1 Fonts are no longer supported by IBM. Users should utilize the fonts available within the current z/OS environment for their printing needs. Migration involves updating JCL and print job configurations to use the available fonts.

The z/OS system provides a range of fonts that can be used for printing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What were Data1 Fonts designed for?

Data1 Fonts were designed for use with IBM 3800 printers on the z/OS platform. These fonts provided a uniform 13.3 pitch for consistent output. The fonts are now a base element of z/OS.

What specific features did Data1 Fonts provide?

Data1 Fonts offered a consistent 13.3 pitch, ensuring uniform character spacing. This was crucial for readability and professional-looking documents printed on IBM 3800 printers. The fonts are now a base element of z/OS.

What were the primary use cases for Data1 Fonts?

Data1 Fonts were primarily used for generating printed output from z/OS systems. They were integrated into applications that required high-quality, consistent font rendering on IBM 3800 printers. The fonts are now a base element of z/OS.

Is Data1 Fonts still supported?

Data1 Fonts are no longer actively supported by IBM. They are now a base element of z/OS. Users should utilize the fonts available within the current z/OS environment for their printing needs.
