The 5250 Remote Emulator Card allows bolding, underlining, and super/subscript by recognizing the host commands for these features for DP or WP applications. The different character styles and pitch are controlled through the IBM typestyle number or font ID.
5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD There are two ways to change fonts for word-processing documents: either select a typestyle within the word-processing program or use a fontchange command from the Card’s command language in the document. The word-processing program’s manual should describe how to change the typestyles within the program. Some word-processing programs, such as Text Management/38, do not allow more than one typestyle number per line of text.
5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD 1. Insert a paper tray of the proper size and press the printer’s RESET button. 2. Power the printer OFF and back ON. 3. Release the print job at the host. The System/38 uses a “Printer Support Facility” that sends the margins and other document-form specifications to a printer only when these are different from the previous document or when the printer has been turned OFF. Either way, the LaserJet must be reset when a different paper tray is installed.
5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD of these commands from the Card’s command language on the first line of the document: ¬D0 for simplex printing ¬D1 for landscape-duplex printing ¬D2 for portrait-duplex printing If they are not on the first line, the commands will not become active until the following page. When the printer receives the printing command, it will do all printing in that mode until another printing command is received.
5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD For example, when the ProCollection® cartridge is loaded in the printer, the codes embedded in the following sentence will cause the word “saves” to print in bold Helvetica® instead of plain Courier: On screen: Quality ¬Q45 saves ¬Q85 you time and money. Prints as: Quality saves you time and money. NOTE The host may send the original font code to the printer at the beginning of each page. If this happens, put a font-change command at the beginning of each page of the document.

5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD 9. Troubleshooting The 5250 Remote Emulator Card is designed for easy installation and reliable operation. However, as with all electronic equipment, difficulties can arise. This chapter is intended to help you diagnose and solve these problems. When trouble does crop up, the cause frequently turns out to be host configuration, emulator configuration, or modem settings.
5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD Graphics characters or blinking characters appear on the screen. Cause: Action: Cause: Action: Cause: Action: 5250 Remote Emulator Card not seated properly. Unplug the PC, open it, and check the installation of the 5250 Remote Emulator Card. I/O-address conflict. Check the addresses of all other cards in the PC (referring to those cards’ manuals if necessary).
5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD Cursor appears at the top right corner of the screen when emulation starts. Cause: Action: Invalid station address. Check the station addresses on the host and in the 5250 Remote Emulator Card’s configuration (see Section 6.2.1). Cause: Action: Damaged cabling or connections. Make sure that no cables are broken and that all cable connections are tight. Substitute another cable if necessary. “Snow” appears on the screen. Cause: Action: Wrong monitor type.
5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD Action: Contact the system operator; he or she might need to IPL the host. Make sure the host/modem cable is attached to the emulator. If you can’t find the problem on the premises at either end, have the telephone company check the line. Cause: Action: SDLC encoding not set properly. The host’s and emulator’s encoding settings must match: either both NRZ or both NRZI. If you’re unsure what the host’s setting is, change this setting on the emulator (see Section 6.2.
5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD To check the cable, remove the cable connections at both ends and check for bent, broken, or missing pins. In the modem or CSU/DSU configuration, make sure the DSR (Data Set Ready) and DCD (Data Carrier Detect) are set to normal operation, not forced on. DB25 TX RX RTS DSR CTS CD Figure 9-1. LEDs.
5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD If you have tried all of the above solutions and the emulator is still not active, press the DOS Enter key. This will cause a red error code to appear in the bottom left corner of the display. Refer to the error code chart in Table 9-1 for cause and solution. Table 9-1. Error Codes.
5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD Table 9-1 (continued). Error Codes. SRC Description Possible Causes(s) 0055 Since the startup of the Controller, no valid SDLC frame has been received for the address. This error code will not be displayed if the Controller has ever received any good SDLC frames for any SDLC address. This is true even if the address in the frame is not the address configured for the remote controller, or any of the addresses configured for a multi-card Controller. a.
5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD Table 9-1 (continued). Error Codes. SRC Description Possible Causes(s) 0056 It has been at least 30 seconds since any valid SDLC frame has been received for any address. However, valid frames were received earlier. This error code will not be displayed if the Controller has received any good SDLC frames for any SDLC address in the last 30 seconds.
5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD Table 9-1 (continued). Error Codes. SRC Description Possible Causes(s) 0057 Since the startup of the Controller (at least 30 seconds ago), no valid SDLC frame has been received for this display station’s remote controller. a. The display stations’s remote controller has not been varied on, but one or more other remote controllers configured on the Controller are still varied on. b.
5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD Table 9-1 (continued). Error Codes. SRC Description Possible Causes(s) 0059 An SDLC XID command was received for the display station’s remote controller, but that was at least 30 seconds ago and no SDLC i-frame (data frame) has been received since. The remote-controller model (5294 or 5394) configured for the remote controller doesn’t match the host configuration.
5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD Table 9-1 (continued). Error Codes. SRC Description Possible Causes(s) 0099 There is no SNA session active for the display station. Normally, this means that the display station or its remote controller is varied off, and the screen is blank. In many cases, when this error code appears, it will be replaced in about 30 seconds with one of the previous seven non-Token-Ring error codes.
5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD Cause: Action: Subsystem terminated. Restart the subsystem. Cause: “Drop line upon sign off” selected as “yes” on the AS/400’s display description. Select “no” to drop the line upon sign off. Action: Slow response time for attached devices. Cause: Action: Interference on communications line. Check for interference on the communications line to/from the host. Cause: Selected data rate is too slow for the number of attached devices or the application.
5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD Error Creating File: DOS is unable to create a file in the current disk and directory. This is usually because the current disk is unavailable or writeprotected. Error Deleting File: DOS detects an error while attempting to delete a configuration file. This is usually because the current disk is unavailable or write-protected. Error Reading File: The disk file is the wrong size or the data is invalid.
5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD Device ID in Configuration File is Invalid: An incorrect device was found while processing the configuration file. Verify the device in the configuration file and, if necessary, delete and recreate the file. Emulation Adaptor Does Not Respond: The 5250 Remote Emulator Card has detected a problem. Power OFF the PC and restart emulation. If the problem persists, verify the hardware configuration. If it is correct, contact your supplier.
