<h4 id="rzalu3x74">3x74-attached printers</h4>
|
||
|
|
<p>There is no 3270 emulation pass-through (<span class="italic">pipeline</span>)
|
||
|
|
support for 3x74 remote-attached printers. Printing capability is limited
|
||
|
|
to the Logical Unit 1 support. Printer data management and spool support is
|
||
|
|
not provided for printers that use the 3270 Information Display System data-stream
|
||
|
|
capability.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For i5/OS printing applications, the extent of the function is limited
|
||
|
|
to that provided by a 3287 printer, regardless of the type and model of the
|
||
|
|
printer actually attached. This is functionally equivalent to a 5256-003
|
||
|
|
printer. For example, a 4224 printer, which has all-points-addressable capability,
|
||
|
|
only provides 3287 printer capability when attached to a 3x74 controller.
|
||
|
|
However, if a 3284 printer is attached to the 3x74 controller, it does not
|
||
|
|
provide the 6 or 8 lines per inch (LPI) support of the 3287 printer because
|
||
|
|
it is not equipped with the necessary hardware features.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When using a 3x74 remote-attached printer (for example, a 4224) configured
|
||
|
|
as a 3287 printer, make sure that the page length set on the printer hardware
|
||
|
|
switch matches the length of the forms that are in the printer. If the length
|
||
|
|
of the forms loaded does not match the printer hardware switch setting, the
|
||
|
|
application will still print correctly on the forms. However, when the spooled
|
||
|
|
file completes printing, the 4224 uses the default page size set on the printer
|
||
|
|
hardware switches.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For example, assume your page length set on the printer hardware switches
|
||
|
|
is 11 inches, your actual forms are 3 inches long, the spooled file just completed
|
||
|
|
printing, and you press the Page Eject key to get the last printed form. By
|
||
|
|
pressing the Page Eject key, you can advance the forms 11 inches instead of
|
||
|
|
the 3 inches your form takes up.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">DBCS printer considerations</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If the spooled file contains double-byte data (IGCDTA(*YES) specified on
|
||
|
|
the printer file), it can be printed on printers attached to a 3x74 controller.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>However, the following attributes or DDS keywords are ignored if the target
|
||
|
|
printer is attached to a 3x74 controller: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>DFNLIN (DDS keyword)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>IGCCHRRTT (DBCS attribute and DDS keyword)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>IGCCHRSIZ (DDS keyword)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>IGCCPI (DBCS attribute)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>IGCEXNCHR (DBCS attribute)</li></ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>The IGCSOSI printer file parameter is processed in the i5/OS program and
|
||
|
|
not in the printer being used to print the spooled file.</p>
