<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>
