Code pages
By default, the code page specified on the output connector is used for all fonts. If no code page is specified, IBM CP 500 is used.
Auto generated code page names
A code page is normally uniquely named by resolving the StreamServe code page name. For example, IBM CP 500 is named T1000500. In this case, the auto generated code page name can be used in all modes for code page resources (Embed, Include, etc.)
A code page that cannot be named uniquely by resolving the StreamServe code page name is given a sequential number, for example T1000000. In this case, the auto generated code page name can only be used if the AFP driver runs in Embed mode for code page resources.
Specified code page names
You can use the AFP driver setting .Default (Code page) to explicitly name the default code page. The name you enter in this field overrides the auto generated code page name. The code page name must begin with T1, and be less than 9 characters long.
You can also use the file afp2wfnt.map to name the default code page, as well as any other code pages used in the job. See Mapping fonts and code pages for more information.
Unicode
Unicode is applicable only if the AFP driver runs in Embed mode for code page resources. If you specify unicode (StreamServe name Unicode (UCS-2)) as the default code page on the output connector, the auto generated AFP code page name is T11200.
Code page for TLE information and NOP comments
External applications that read TLE information and NOP comments expect EBCDIC code pages (StreamServe code page name IBM CP nnn). This means if the code page specified for the output is not an EBCDIC code page, you must specify an EBCDIC code page for the TLE information and NOP comments. The AFP driver setting System text code page applies to both TLE information and NOP comments. If you need a separate code page for TLE information, you can use the AFP driver setting TLE code page.
