Asynchronous Terminals and Printer Processes Programming Manual

PREFACE
• Section 3 contains descriptions of the procedure calls and
examples of how to use them to interact with asynchronous
terminals.
• Section 4 contains examples of communication with
conversational-mode and page-mode terminals. This section
also describes procedures for managing communication through
modems and for handling errors.
• Section 5 contains a comparison of ATP6100/CSSPRINT and
SERIALPRINTPROCESS and a list of the printers they support.
This section also describes the printer characteristics that
can be controlled by SYSGEN, CMI, and the file-system proce-
dure calls.
• Section 6 contains descriptions of the procedure calls and
examples of how to use them to interact with serial printers.
• Section 7 contains information and examples of communication
with the different printer models. This section also de-
scribes procedures for managing communication through modems
and for handling errors.
• Appendix A summarizes the system console messages that are
generated by ATP6100, TERMPROCESS, and SERIALPRINTPROCESS.
• Appendix B summarizes the parameters for terminal CONTROL,
SETMODE and SETPARAM procedure calls.
• Appendix C summarizes the parameters for printer CONTROL,
CONTROLBUF, and SETMODE procedure calls.
• Appendix D describes the procedure for using CMI to get
information about TERMPROCESS.
• Appendix E lists the default values for the terminals and
printers supported by ATP6100, TERMPROCESS, and
SERIALPRINTPROCESS.
• Appendix F describes the ATP6100 support using the 3681
Multifunction controller.
• Appendix G lists the dip-switch settings for 5573 printers.
Although this manual is designed to be as self-contained as
possible, you will also need to refer to some of the following
manuals:
• T16/6520 and T16/6524 Video Display Units Programming Manual
• 6530 Multi-Page Terminal Programmer’s Guide
• Lear-Siegler ADM-2 Operator’s Handbook
