you can't include a peoplesoft setup sqc if you do a declare-printer because
the setup sqc contains a printer-init.

assuming you are using an HP printer, setup01.sqc sets a pitch of 16.6 cpi
which throws the printer into the line printer font. i don't think you can
change the size of that font. you can do a graphic font command to change the
font and pointsize. 'graphic font 3 4' will give you 4-point courier. if you
want to make your own setup sqc, here's a printer-init that will give you 4
point univers:

printer-init <27>E<27>(10U<27>&l0O<27>&l6D<27>&l66F<27>(s4148t0b0s4.0v1P
