Protocol
specifies how to convert the output to a format that can be processed by a
protocol converter that connects the mainframe to an ASCII device. Protocol
information is applicable only to IBM hosts.
Translate Table

translate table is needed when an EBCDIC host sends data to an ASCII device.
Buffer Size
refers to the buffer size to use when sending output to the printer.
Previewer
refers to the name of the viewer that will be used when a print preview occurs.
This option is not used in mainframe environments.
Preview Command

mainframe environments.
6 (Optional) Select Font to open a window where you can set the default font
information for your printer.
Note: Printer properties are stored in the SASUSER library and remain in effect
until changed.
See “Setting Up Printers in Your Environment” on page 158 for information
regarding the way printer properties are used in the mainframe environment.
Changing the Default Font
The font included in the definition of the current default printer is the font used to
generate output, unless you override it with the SYSPRINTFONT= system option.
SYSPRINTFONT= sets the font to use when printing to the current default printer or
to the printer identified with the optional keywords NAMED or ALL. You can specify
SYSPRINTFONT= in your configuration file, at SAS invocation, or in an OPTIONS
statement.
The syntax is as follows:
SYSPRINTFONT=(face-name
)
face-name
specifies the name of the font face to use for printing. This must be a valid font
face name. If the face-name consists of more than one word, it must be enclosed in
single or double quotation marks. Valid font face names are listed in the Printer
Properties window under the Font tab.
weight
specifies the weight of the font, such as bold. A list of valid values for your specified
printer appears in the Printer Properties window. The default value is NORMAL.
style
specifies the style of the font, such as italic. A list of valid values for your specified
printer appears in the Printer Properties window. The default is REGULAR.
point-size
specifies the point size to use for printing. This must be an integer. If you omit
this argument, SAS uses the default point size.
