Printing in Arabic

To enable printing in Arabic, you need to do the following :
  • For 3270 sessions, using PDF files, do the following:
    1. Install the 864 Arabic printer fonts.
    2. Modify the PDF files as follows:
      1. Define the escape sequences of the fonts that you want to use, as in the following example.
        /*   Naseem (  1  0  V  (  s  0  p  1  5  h  9  v  0  s  0  b  3  T     */
        NSM   EQU 1B 28 31 30 56 1B 28 73 30 70 31 35 68 39 76 30 73 30 62 33 54
        Note:
        You can get the font escape sequences by printing out the font names from the printer menus.
      2. Add the escape sequence of the font that you want to use to the START_JOB escape sequence, as in the following example.
        START_JOB=CUL CBP NSM    /* Switch to Arabic Font   */ 
    3. Compile the PDF to get the PDT file.
