Important Configuration Basics Introduction IMPORTANT: Unless otherwise noted, the term printer refers to printers and MFPs, and the term control panel refers to operator panels and touch screens on these types of products. SCS/TNe MENU options settings can be changed and saved in three ways: • Use the control panel (“Understanding the Control Panel” on page 10 - which also contains all basic information on types of settings).
All of these descriptions include the available options and their values. What are “IDB Options”, “IDB events etc.? Setup Options vs. Printer Setup Options On many of the descriptions you may notice the use of terms like IDB events, IDB options, IDB values, IDB User Parameters, IDB Language, etc. Refer to “IDB Basics” on page 248 for additional information. Note that in most cases, only technical specialists need to understand and use IDBs.
IMPORTANT: Restoring the factory defaults using the printer menu Restore Default option does not affect the SCS/TNe MENU settings. Settings you choose in the SCS print job may override the user default settings displayed in the printer operator panel. This guide discusses setting up the SCS/TNe Emulation and changing the SCS/TNe Emulation settings.
Understanding the Control Panel Introduction This chapter introduces the SCS/TNe MENU options as well as illustrating how how the control panel works. Printers and MFPs differ, so both operator panels on printers and touch screens on MFPs are illustrated here. If you are familiar with the use of the control panel, skip this chapter, but we recommend familiarizing yourself with the contents of “Remote Configuration Using a Browser” on page 24 before proceeding with installation setups.
Printer operator panel Accessing the SCS/TNe menu Access the SCS/TNe Emulation options and settings from the operator panel SCS/TNe MENU. To reach the menu: 1 From a Ready status, press the MENU button . on the operator panel. This opens the menu index in the operator panel’s screen. 2 Use the navigation buttons or through the main menus displayed on the screen.
When you select an option, you will always be alowed to scroll through the list of values presented. Numerical entries can be done either by scrolling or by using the numeric pad. Several examples of how to use the operator panel to select and store new values are shown below. The section “Selecting a New Value as a Setting” on page 12 shows all details, while the following two sections discuss slight differences.
In this example, you are going to change the Country Code for TN3270. 1 Navigate to TN3270E SETUP. Press the Select button. SCS/TNe MENU COMMON SETUP TN3270E SETUP TN5250E SETUP 2 Navigate to SCS OPTIONS. Press the Select button.
3 Navigate to MISC SETTINGS. Press the Select button. SCS OPTIONS MISC SETTINGS Cor APO Sett TEST OPTIONS 4 Navigate to the Country Code option. Press the Select button.
5 The displays shows the the currently active setting (in this example English (US). The currently active setting is marked with an asterisk *, and in this example, it just happens to be factory default. If you want to change the setting, for example to Fin/Swe, use the navigation buttons to move down through the list. When the on-screen checkmark is next to the desired setting.
7 When the setting is saved, the display will revert to the previous menu level. MISC SETTINGS Format Ctrl Sup Country Code Skip Blank Page If you want to check the value of a setting, press the Select button again. You will see an asterisk * beside Fin/Swe to show it is the current active setting. Press the Back button changing the setting. in order to leave the screen without 8 If you need to make additional changes within the same menu group - such as MISC SETTINGS, scroll through the list.
Changing a Text String The method for changing a text string is actually the same as that for selecting a value, because you select the letters from pre-programmed lists. What is special is that the value you select consists of several fields. For example, if you select MENU > Option Card Menu > SCS/TNe MENU > TN5250E SETUP > CONNECTION #1 > SERVER 1 INFO > MSGQ 1 Name, you see the following display: MSGQ 1 Name Q S Y O P R The currently editable character is marked with below it.
Changing a Numerical Setting If you choose a menu item that has a numerical value, you can usually choose between scrolling just as you would to select any value, or using the numerical pad. If the setting has more than one field, navigate as shown in “Changing a Text String” on page 17.
MFP Touch Screen Accessing the SCS/TNe menu Access the SCS/TNe Emulation options and settings from the operator panel SCS/TNe MENU. To reach the menu: 1 Make sure that the printer is on and the Ready message appears. 2 Touch the key icon (Menus) on the operator panel 3 Touch or to scroll through the main menus displayed on the screen. 4 Touch Option Card Menu. 5 Now you will see a list of options. Touch SCS/TNe MENU. The same method is used to scroll through lists of menus and options.
Several examples of how to use the operator panel to select and store new values are shown below. The section “Selecting a New Value as a Setting” on page 20 shows all details, while the following two sections discuss slight differences. User-selected default settings remain in effect until you save new settings or restore the factory defaults. All saved options become active on the next host session.
6 Now you will see a list of options.Touch or to scroll to the desired item. In this example locate and touch Country Code. 7 The currently active setting, in this example English (US), is always presented first. Touch or to scroll through the settings until you see the item you need. 8 Touch (Submit) to save changes. NOTE: If you just want to check the active setting of an option without making changes, touch (Back) and no changes will be saved.
3 Select the "abc 123" tab above the keyboard. If you select any other tab, the LU Name will not be recognized by the host. 4 Use the Keyboard to enter the LU Name. 5 Touch Enter (on some MFPs touch Submit) when you have completed the name. The screen returns to the previous menu level. 6 Touch Changing a Numerical Setting (Submit) to save changes.
Some numerical values contain more than one field. For example, Menus > SCS/TNE Menu > TN3270e Setup > Network Setup > Server Info > IP Address. For these, use the Keyboard as described in “Changing a Text String” on page 21.
Remote Configuration Using a Browser Introduction The Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe includes an http user interface. You can use a browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape, to remotely configure most SCS/TNe settings. The only requirement is that the printers are attached to a LAN using a Standard Network port or MarkNet internal print server. IMPORTANT: Unless otherwise stated, the term printer in this manual refers to both printers and MFPs.
These new option value settings are saved in the printer and will become active when the next SCS/TNe session is started. If new option value settings are submitted during an SCS/TNe session, the new option value settings will not be used until the current SCS/TNe session ends and a new SCS/TNe session is established. How to Use the Browser Interface To access and change SCS/TNe option settings through your browser: 1 Access the printer web page by typing the IP address of its print server as the URL.
If a session has not been disconnected, check to see if jobs are being received on this session. Wait for the jobs to finish printing or end the session from the host. If no jobs are printing, you may need to end and reset the session at the host. 8 Return to SCS/TNe Settings. 9 Select one of the TN3270E or TN5250E menus. 10 All option values which may be changed remotely will be displayed. Change option settings as desired. 11 Select the Submit button at the bottom of the page.
16 The SCS/TNe emulation will attempt to reconnect to the host. 17 Check to be sure that all sessions have been reconnected. Click on each TNxxxx Connection Status menu item to check the status of each session. If all configured sessions have not been established within 90 seconds, you may need to end and reset the sessions at the host and repeat steps 14 - 16. On each TN menu, you will see a Reset Form button at the bottom of the page, next to the Submit button.
Installation Setup for Mainframe Users Introduction IMPORTANT: Tasks may be completed in any order but all tasks must be completed to begin printing. This chapter applies to LAN-attached Mainframe users printing directly or via an SNA Server. (AS/400 and iSeries users refer to “Installation Setup for AS/400 and iSeries Users” on page 55.) Tasks numbered #A are unique for printing directly from a Mainframe. Tasks numbered #B are unique for printing via a SNA Server.
Mainframe Direct Users SNA Server Users Task 6A - Verifying the Mainframe Connection Task 6B - Verifying the Mainframe/SNA Server Connection Mainframe Installation Setup: Introduction 29
Task 1A Configuring the Host TIP: How to define an LU-1 printer in VTAM is described in IBM's VTAM documentation. The Mainframe software must support TCP/IP and extended Telnet protocols to print SCS jobs to a LAN attached printer. “Mainframe Software” on page 279 lists versions which support these protocols. The printer with the SCS/TNe Emulation is defined to the host like a normal LU-1 (SCS) printer. Three sample configurations follow.
Sample Configuration number 2: PU/LU definitions in VTAM VBUILD TYPE=SWNET PSWPG9 PU ADDR=C9,MAXDATA=1033,MAXOUT=7, PACING=(1,1),IDBLK=O61,SSCPFM=USSSCS, ISTATUS=ACTIVE,IRETRY=YES,IDNUM=B0008, PASSLIM=7,PUTYPE=2,DISCNT=NO,VPACING=0 LCPG90 LU LOCADDR=2,MODETAB=MT3274P,USSTAB=USB3274B, DLOGMOD=T3274M2,ISTATUS=ACTIVE LCPG91 LU LOACADDR=3,MODETAB=MTP3816, DLOGMOD=SCS1,ISTATUS=ACTIVE LCPG92 LU LOACADDR=4,MODETAB=MTP3816, DLOGMOD=SCS1,ISTATUS=ACTIVE LCPG93 LU LOACADDR=5,MODETAB=MTPRINT, DLOGMOD=SCS,
Sample Configuration Number 3: Local Device - Using VTAM LOCAL LU nodes First create a major node in VTAM to define the VTAM LU's (printer or terminal devices) for telnet sessions as follows: TCP VBUILD TYPE=APPL SC0TCP01APPL AUTH=NVPACE, EAS=1, PARSESS=NO, MODETAB=ISTINCLM, SESSLIM=YES IMLU1 APPL AUTH=NVPACE,EAS=1,PARSESS=NO, MODETAB=MODETAB2,SESSLIM=YES,DLOGMOD=SCS DHW3270 APPL AUTH=NVPACE,EAS=1,PARSESS=NO, MODETAB=MODETAB2,SESSLIM=YES,DLOGMOD=SCS EJ3270 APPL AUTH=NVPACE,EAS=1,PARSESS=NO, MODETAB=MOD
Second, define the VTAM printer member (i.e. IMLU1 listed above) to the host print software being used. The following is an example of a TN printer definition defined in VPS print software: DEST=VPSIMLU1, LUNAME=IMLU1, *LUNAME=SNA047, QBUFSIZE=23476 *ALOGMODE=VPSLU1, *ALOGMODE=VPSCOL, *SEPINFO=HPL The asterisk (*) denotes fields that are not required, and therefore have been commented out.
Task 1B Configuring the Host for Printing via a SNA Server The printer with the SCS/TNe Emulation is defined to the host like a normal LU-1 (SCS) printer. Two sample configurations are shown below. TIP: How to define an LU-1 printer in VTAM is described in IBM's VTAM documentation.
Sample Configuration number 2 - PU/LU definitions in VTAM VBUILD TYPE=SWNET PSWPG9 PU ADDR=C9,MAXDATA=1033,MAXOUT=7, PACING=(1,1),IDBLK=O61,SSCPFM=USSSCS, ISTATUS=ACTIVE,IRETRY=YES,IDNUM=B0008, PASSLIM=7,PUTYPE=2,DISCNT=NO,VPACING=0 LCPG90 LU LOCADDR=2,MODETAB=MT3274P,USSTAB=USB3274B, DLOGMOD=T3274M2,ISTATUS=ACTIVE LCPG91 LU LOACADDR=3,MODETAB=MTP3816, DLOGMOD=SCS1,ISTATUS=ACTIVE LCPG92 LU LOACADDR=4,MODETAB=MTP3816, DLOGMOD=SCS1,ISTATUS=ACTIVE LCPG93 LU LOACADDR=5,MODETAB=MTPRINT, DLOGMOD=SCS
Task 2A Configuring a Host For TN3270e Printing TIP: Refer to your system documentation for further details. Refer also to IBM books such as the IBM book OS/390 eNetwork Communications Server V2R5, TCP/IP Implementation Guide, Volume 1: Configuration and Routing (document no. SG24-5227-00). The printer with the SCS/TNe Emulation is defined to the Telnet server in much the same way as a display LU. Instead of the LUGROUP and LUMAP commands, the PRTGROUP and PRTMAP commands are used.
BEGINVTAM ; ; PRTGROUP PRINTERS RA3ATPR1..RA3ATPR5 ; printers for specific ; mapping and printer to LU ; association ENDPRTGROUP PRTGROUP PRINTERS RA3ATPR6..RA3ATPR9 ; generic printers ENDPRTGROUP IPGROUP SPECIP 157.184.116.
printer group to the IP group as shown above (PRTMAP PRINTERG SPECIP). NOTE: You may also direct a printer device name to the printer IP address using PRTMAP statement as follows: PRTMAP PRT1 xxx.xxx.xxx.
Task 2B Configuring an SNA Server For TN3270e Printing IMPORTANT: The TN3270e components have to be installed in order to be able to configure the LU printer connection on the SNA gateway or router. A number of different vendors provide SNA gateways and routers. The procedure in this section shows how to set up a Microsoft SNA Server. It does therefore not apply to all SNA gateways or routers. However, the parameters that are configured should be easy to recognize.
2 Fill in the LU Number and the LU Name. The LU Number must match that on the host. If you do not know the LU Number, ask your system administrator. Finish by pressing the |OK| button. 3 Right-click the connection created in the previous step. Choose Assign To > TN3270 Service on > Name-of-SNAServer to assign the connection to the SNA server. Rightclick the new connection again and choose Properties. 4 Left-click the TN3270 tab. Mark Specific Printer and the IBM3287-1 terminal name.
Task 3 Configuring a Print Server IMPORTANT: The SCS/TNe Emulation can only receive jobs through a single printer server. Moving the selected print server or inserting a new print server may cause a loss of SCS/TNe print capability. SCS/TNe Emulation printing requires a MarkNet internal print server or a Standard Network port on the printer. A. To check the installed print server firmware version 1 From a Ready state touch Menus. 2 Touch Reports. 3 Scroll until one or more of the following appears.
B. Configuring the Print Server To enable SCS printing, several print server settings may need to be changed. You can make these changes from the printer operator panel. 1 Set NPA Mode to Auto. Select Menus > Network/Ports. Select the print server to be used for SCS printing, for example Standard Network. Locate NPA Mode and scroll to the Auto setting. Touch Submit to save. This setting will ensure that the printer’s LAN connection will detect the Card.
2 Set the Job Timeout. This timeout is used by all print servers. Select Menus > Network/Ports. Select the print server to be used for SCS printing, for example Standard Network. Select Standard Network > Std Network Setup > Network Card > Job Timeout. Scroll down to 0. Touch Submit to save. Option Value Network Job 0 Timeout Description This is the recommended setting and corresponds to “disabled”. Other settings may cause communication problems.
TCP/IP Option Value Description Address Address available from your network administrator. Netmask Netmask for your network. Contact your network administrator. Gateway Address of the IP gateway. Contact your network administrator. Enable DHCP On or Off On, if you use a DHCP server. Off, if you set the IP address another way. Enable RARP On or Off On, if you use a RARP server. Off, if you set the IP address another way. Enable BOOTP On or Off On, if you use a BOOTP server.
Task 4 Configuring the SCS Settings Several SCS option values may need to be changed to properly format and print SCS jobs that do not contain formatting commands in the job. The following three settings are usually the most important, but there are many other possibilities. TIP: A. To select Non-US SCS3270 Defaults Refer to Operations Reference - TN3270E SETUP: SCS3270 Defaults, page 153 to see the differences in these settings. Factory defaults are US.
B. To select a different SCS country code 1 Select Menus > Option Card Menu > SCS/TNe MENU > TN3270E SETUP > SCS OPTIONS > MISC SETTINGS > Country Code. MISC SETTINGS Option Default Value Recommended Value Comments Country Code (IDB Option 2) English (US) Your preferred country 2 Scroll to the desired value. Touch SelectSubmit to save one of the factory defaults. 3 Exit the menu by pressing touching Home. C.
3 Exit the menu by touching Home. Task 5 Configuring the SCS/TNe Emulation IMPORTANT: Powering the printer Off and On does not end TCP/IP and Telnet sessions in an orderly manner. To power the printer Off properly, select Menus > Option Card Menu > SCS/TNe MENU > COMMON SETUP > Disconnect Ses > Disconnect Ses. See: Disconnect Ses, page 80. SCS jobs are printed from a LAN connected Mainframe using TCP/ IP and the telnet extended (TN3270e) protocol.
The table below shows the factory default settings and recommended settings. The option setting values found in the table are described in section “NETWORK SETUP> SERVER INFO Menu: Options Overview” on page 95. SERVER INFO Option Default Value Recommended Value Comments Name / IP Address Use IP Address IP Address 0.0.0.0 The TNe Server’s IP In order to make a connection to the mainframe host, an IP address address must be entered or a hostname defined.
SERVER INFO Option Default Value Recommended Value Comments LU Name [undefined] Your LU name Check with your system administrator for the correct name. (up to 10 characters) This name must be defined on the host or SNA Server. Please note! Some hosts and servers only recognize uppercase LU Names. Device Type Specific Keep Alive Type Telnet NOP Keep Alive Time 45 seconds Specific Check with your system administrator for the correct setting. The device type must be defined on the host.
5 To activate the new settings, select Menus > Option Card Menu > SCS/TNe MENU > COMMON SETUP > Reset TN Session. Scroll to Reset TN Ses and touch Submit. Touch Home to exit the menus. Wait approximately one minute. If all values are set correctly, this should allow enough time for the SCS/TNe Emulation and host to communicate and change the Connect Status from Print Inactive to another status (there are examples of Connect Status messages on page 92. Mainframe users should continue with Task 6A.
Task 6A Verifying the Mainframe Connection Send a job to the printer for which you want to verify the connection. If the jobs fails to print correctly, the most common problems can be found through one or more of the following actions: 1 Check the TN3270E Connection Status (see page 92) From the Operator Panel: Display the TN3270E Connect Status by selecting Menus > Option Card Menu >SCS/TNe MENU > TN3270E SETUP > NETWORK SETUP > Connect Status.

Prop Font Move (IDB Option 118) This SCS Options option controls whether or not the SCS/TNe Emulation uses proportional font handling. The individual character width values of the printer's native fonts must correspond to the width value which the host expects the characters to have. The SCS/TNe Emulation adjusts each character to obtain the correct width value. This is necessary in order to use bold text, underscored text, and to align the right margin.

TEST OPTIONS Menu: Options Overview The TEST OPTIONS menu is a sub-menu directly under the TN5250E SETUP menu. The following table lists menu options found under the TEST OPTIONS menu. Option name Values SCS5250 Hex Normal Mode *, Hex Dump-Mode Dump Print 5250 IDB Do Not Print *, Print SCS5250 Defaults Do Not Restore *, Restore Defaults A description of each TEST OPTIONS menu option follows.
SCS5250 Hex Dump This Test option enables hex tracing for diagnosing print job problems. When hex dump mode is selected, all data sent to the printer is printed in hexadecimal and character representation. Control codes are not executed. The SCS Debug Trace option overrides this option. This means that a hex dump is not produced even though this option is set to Hex Dump-Mode. Option Value Comments Normal Mode * Normal printer operation.
Print 5250 IDB This Test option prints a report listing the current IDB settings. Print this report when asked by technical support representatives. Option Value Comments Do Not Print Do not print the IDB settings. This performs the same action as if Back had been pressed in the operator panel. Print Print the IDB settings.
SCS5250 Defaults This Test option restores the TN5250E SCS OPTIONS settings to their factory default values. Option Value Comments Do Not Restore * Do not restore any settings. This performs the same action as if Back had been pressed in the operator panel. Restore Defaults Restore to factory default TN5250E SCS option menu settings.
IDB Basics Introduction On-line programming of the SCS options received through the SCS emulation expands the possibilities for adapting the SCS/TNe Emulation to existing applications. The SCS options are programmed using the IDB language. IDB is short for Intermate Data Base and refers to the SCS/TNe Emulation’s storage of all SCS protocol conversion tables. This chapter reviews how to use IDB commands to change the SCS option settings remotely.
In addition, the TN5250E users have a second language available. This is the User IDB Language, which is somewhat easier to use. However, the User IDB Language is only available for working on approximately 20 of the most common IDB options. Working with the other options requires the use of the Advanced IDB Language. The IDB languages are to be used during initial setup or re-configuration of the SCS/TNe settings. The IDB languages should not be used to control settings on a job by job basis.
Other References Sample IDB command strings, which set the options to their default settings, are written after each option description in chapter “Operations Reference - TN3270E SETUP” on page 85 and in chapter “Operations Reference - TN5250E SETUP” on page 155. Detailed references are found in: “Understanding the Control Panel” on page 10 ff. “Operations Reference - TN3270E SETUP” on page 85 and “Operations Reference - TN5250E SETUP” on page 155.
IDB Languages Usage The two IDB languages work in similar ways. The differences lie in the syntax. When an option is altered with one of the IDB command languages, the configuration data is sent as text to the SCS/TNe Emulation. Rules for configuration data 1 Send the data to the SCS/TNe Emulation device using a word processing system (eg OfficeVision) or simply by typing at the command prompt and making a "print screen". Sending the programming sequence as ASCII text has no effect.
Syntax The commands used for entering and leaving configuration mode are common to the two languages. Enter configuration mode by sending the command: &%IDB_EDIT: and leave configuration mode, by sending the trailer string: EXIT This causes the changed options to be saved. The new option settings are active on the next SCS job. All configuration options must be separated by a colon. Line feed, form feed etc. should be avoided, but are accepted in some cases.

IDB Configuration File Management This approach is perhaps the most convenient as the contents of all IDB options and events are viewed and edited on a PC screen. After the editing is done, it is possible to save the settings in a file. The resulting IDB Configuration File can then be downloaded to one or more printers containing an SCS/TNe Emulation providing easy, fast, and uniform setups.
Retrieving the IDB Configuration File The IDB settings controlling how SCS jobs print can be retrieved via FTP. The name of the file is fixed and cannot be changed. The procedure below uses a Microsoft FTP client. To retrieve the IDB settings file 1 Start a FTP session. ftp 201.1.12.123 (Sample IP address) User name: 2 Enter the "/lti" directory. cd /lti 3 Set the FTP client to binary mode. This is necessary as data is transferred in binary mode. binary 4 Retrieve the IDB configuration file.
5 End the FTP session.
Editing the IDB Configuration File The utility program used for editing the IDB configuration file is DOS based and is available on the internet site with manual updates listed in “Support” on page 4. Look for the following files. Protocol File Comments TN3270E P01-xxxx.zip This contains the 3270 IDB configuration file editor program, also known as IDB.exe. TN5250E P02-xxxx.zip This contains the 5250 IDB configuration file editor program, also known as IDBT.exe.
Storing the IDB Configuration File When the IDB configuration file has been edited it can be downloaded to the SCS/TNe Emulation. The download file name is fixed. Downloading a file with a different name will result in an unreadable printout. No IDB settings will be changed. The procedure below uses a Microsoft FTP client. To store the IDB settings file 1 Start a FTP session. ftp 201.1.12.123 (Sample IP address) User name: 2 Enter the "/lti" directory.
4 Store the IDB configuration file. put c:\tn3270e.idb (TN3270E users) put c:\tn5250e.idb (TN5250E users) This stores the file from a PC’s root directory. 5 End the FTP session. bye The downloaded IDB settings are active on the next SCS job.
Additional TN5250e Printer Commands Using IDB Introduction The IDB commands described here provide additional commands for controlling the printer. This chapter presents the syntax for creating these commands, which must be sent from the AS/400 or iSeries in order to be recognized, i.e. included in the SCS data stream. The commands you may work with fall into three groups: 1 Paper Handling 2 Code Page Handling / Code Page 259 3 Miscellaneous See “IDB Basics” on page 248 ff.
Input Data String Syntax The input data string () following some printer commands can contain three parts: Text, decimal numbers, and hexadecimal numbers. Text: Text has to be put in quotation marks. "This is a text" Decimal: Decimal numbers are entered normally. Use commas to separate. 12,34,24,67,12,3,45,6,7,90,255 Hexadecimal: Hexadecimal numbers have to be entered with a slash in front followed by two hex digits. Use commas to separate.
Initializing Power On Initialize Before working with the additional commands, you need to familiarize yourself with the Power On Initialization. This is used to set up the printer each time it is powered On. With the Power On events, it is possible to set up four strings of 1024 bytes each which are sent to the printer at power On. The events can be used to download a small logo or set the printer to a specific emulation. Power On sequence 1 Power On, events 0, 1 and 2 are triggered.
The command corresponds to event 0 - 3. Command: POWON : POWON DEL : Delete command Parameter: 1 - 4 Definition number Example: POWON 3 "Power initialize 3": POWON DEL 3: The rest of this chapter is devoted to a run-through of the commands you can work with.
Paper Handling > Source Drawer This is triggered by the AS/400 or iSeries command PPM (Page Presentation Media) when a specific input tray is selected. It can also be triggered by the DEFSRCDRW command at Power On. See section “Source Input (IDB Option 113)” on page 225. The command corresponds to event 66 - 68 for parameters 1 - 3 and to event 74 - 78 for parameters 4 - 8. The events 74 - 78 require programming before they can be used to select a specific input tray.
Paper Handling > Destination Drawer This is triggered by the AS/400 or iSeries command PPM (Page Presentation Media) when a certain output drawer (bin) is selected. It can also be triggered by the DEFDSTDRW command at Power On. See section “Output Bin (IDB Option 115)” on page 227. The command corresponds to event 59 - 61. Command: DSTDRW : DSTDRW DEL : Delete command Parameter: 1 - 3 Drawer number Example: DSTDRW 2 /1B,"&l2G": PCL command string for setting dest.
Paper Handling > Select Paper / Envelope Media This is triggered by the AS/400 or iSeries command PPM (Page Presentation Media) when printing on paper or envelopes is selected. It can also be triggered by the DEFFRMSEL command at Power On. See section “Forms Media (IDB Option 114)” on page 226. The command corresponds to event 62 - 63.
Paper Handling > Select Paper Feed This is triggered by the AS/400 or iSeries command SPSU (Set Print Setup) when a certain kind of paper feed is selected. The command corresponds to event 64 - 65.
Paper Handling > Select Simplex/Duplex Printing This is used when simplex or duplex printing is selected. The command can only be used if the printer supports duplex printing. It is triggered by the AS/400 or iSeries command PPM (Page Presentation Media) when simplex or duplex printing is selected. It can also be triggered by the DEFSIMDUP command at Power On. See section “Simplex/Duplex (IDB Option 116)” on page 228. The command corresponds to event 57 - 58.
Code Page 259 > Before/After Code page 259 is a character set which only contains symbols and signs. Most of the symbols and signs are not contained in the normal character set of the printer which means that they cannot be used from AS/400 or iSeries. With this command it is possible to switch to another character set in the printer each time code page 259 is used. This can be used to switch to a symbol character set or a special "symbol font" if it has been downloaded to the printer.
Parameter: BEF Before code page 259 selection AFT After code page 259 selection Example: COD259 BEF "Command": COD259 DEL AFT: TN5250e Printer Commands Using IDB: Code Page 259 > Before/After 270
Miscellaneous > Overlay Command When overlay call is enabled with the OVLCAL command, command 1 or 2 is executed at the top of each page immediately before the first printable character. See section “Overlay Call (IDB Option 28)” on page 179. OVLDRW command 1 is executed when paper tray 1 is selected and OVLDRW command 2 is executed when paper tray 2 is selected. The command corresponds to event 55 - 56.
Miscellaneous > Before / After Formfeed Command: BEFAFTFED : BEFAFTFED DEL : Delete command Parameter: BEF Before formfeed AFT After formfeed Example: BEFAFTFED BEF "Command": BEDAFTFED DEF AFT: TN5250e Printer Commands Using IDB: Miscellaneous > Before / After Formfeed 272
Miscellaneous > Before Portrait/ Landscape Selection This command corresponds to events 147 and 148. Event 147 is triggered after event 69. Event 148 is triggered after event 70. Event 69 and 70 are always triggered. Events 147 and 148 provide additional triggering capacity if triggering of event 69 or 70 is insufficient.
Miscellaneous > IDBdump/ Hexdump Subtitle This is used as an extra headline when printing IDB and hex dumps The command is executed on the top of the first page. It may be used for stating specific information on the front page. This could be information describing which IDB profile is used, printer type, or company name. The command corresponds to event 96 - 97.
Miscellaneous > Move to Uppermost Line This is used if a movement upwards is needed in order to reduce the top margin. The string is only sent if the print position is placed at line 1 and no characters have been printed. The contents of the string could be PCL codes like: • Top margin setting to uppermost line. • Disable perforation skip. • Absolute vertical move to uppermost line The command corresponds to event 79.

Appendix D - COR/APO Logic (TN5250e) Introduction The SCS/TNe Emulation (TN5250e) can rotate the printout from portrait to landscape based on menu option settings. The distinction is between control of text, orientated according to a set text orientation command (STO) in the data stream (the FCB format control buffer) and control of the text orientation from the text orientation automatic of the SCS/TNe Emulation. The SCS/TNe Emulation is reacting to the page format stated in the FCB.
is assumed that no STO commands are present in the data stream from the system. The STO commands always take priority over the automatic controls of the printer. Details The following points refer to the flowchart in the end of this appendix. 1 The calculation of the page format is based on information found in the FCB.
PAGLNG = A4 and PAGWDT = A4 2 If the page format stated in the FCB is within (or equal to) the page size settings of the PAGLNG and PAGWDT option settings, the page size is "valid". In that case the printout will be in landscape provided the page length is smaller than the width, otherwise it will be in portrait. In both cases the font selected by the system is used.
• 10 pitch fonts are reduced to 13 pitch (font type stated in font table position no. 51) • 12 pitch fonts are reduced to 15 pitch (font type stated in font table position no. 52) • 15 pitch fonts are reduced to 20 pitch (font type stated in font table position no. 53) • Other pitch sizes are compressed to the nearest smaller font. 4 Most program applications normally have a set of standard values for page length, characters per line etc. The user might have few or no possibilities off changing, e.
The previously mentioned "screen dump" will use the default printer profile on the AS/400 or iSeries for the device. On the AS/400 or iSeries it is possible to affect the system print parameters in the FCB by changing the printer file containing default settings for the device. This is done by either changing the existing system printer file QSYSPRT (CHGPRTF FILE(QSYSPRT)) or creating your own printer file (CRTPRTF). Please consult your AS/400 or iSeries manuals for information on this subject.
Example: Disable COR and set Portrait as default orientation for drawer 2 only. CORDRW 2 = OFF and ORTDRW 2 = POR Flowchart See next page.

Appendix F - Managing the SCS TN5250e Font Table Introduction The SCS/TNe Emulation has a programmable font table, which contains the conversion between the IBM font IDs (sent from the system) to the internal fonts used in the printer. The font table has a limit of 50 fonts + 3 fonts used for COR (Computer Output Reduction). The SCS/TNe Emulation will detect free font table positions. When attempts to program more than 50 IBM fonts are made, it will print out a message and a font table status sheet.
The SCS/TNe Emulation has six PCL soft fonts emulating IBM fonts. The font FGIDs are 3 (OCR-B), 155 (Boldface Italic), 159 (Boldface), 163 (Essay Bold), 160 (Essay) and 175 (Document) which may be loaded into printer memory at Power On. The font table is prepared for using these fonts. The fonts are loaded with code page PC-850 (12U) and with font ID D10003, D10155, D10159, D10160, D10163 and D10175.
The "Font" Programming Command This command corresponds to the advanced IDB language FONT command. Command: PRGFNT : PRGFNT DEL : NOTE: Try to avoid deleting the first 7 fonts listed in the status printout (&%IDB_STATUS), as these fonts represent the substitution font IDs set by the SETSUBFNT command.
Parameters: 0-65535 This value indicates the IBM font sent from the system. Note that the IBM font numbers are divided into the groups below. pitch area IBM fonts 10 pitch: 1-65 12 pitch: 66-153 proportional: 154-200 13 pitch: 201-210 15 pitch: 211-239 5 pitch: 240-249 17 pitch: 250-257 20 pitch: 281-284 27 pitch: 290 typographic: 751-...
This can contain all characters and has a maximum length of 255 characters. It has to be programmed the same way as printer command input data. The parameter is optional. No string definition will delete the definition of an existing font. NOTE: Please notice that the SCS/TNe Emulation always sends a character spacing command after the entire font command. This means that a spacing command entered in the has no effect.
P Selection of "P" causes the printer to handle the character spacing. If "P" is selected in connection with programming of a font in the IBM proportional spaced area (154-200), the SCS/TNe Emulation prepares itself for support for downloaded IBM PS fonts. This ensures correct spacing of downloaded proportional spaced fonts. If a PCL proportional spaced font is placed in the IBM proportional spaced area (154-200), then this parameter should be used if the PCL font’s own character spacing is expected.
2 The downloaded font 10175 is sent when IBM font ID 160 (Essay) is sent from the system. Font ID 160 is within the "proportional spaced" font area, and font 10175 is expected to be 100% IBM compatible as to the character spacing: PRGFNT 160 P /1B,"(s1p12.
Set Substituted Font ID If a font ID sent from the system is not found in the font table, the font is substituted with a similar font defined in a special area of the font table. The first 7 font positions listed in the status printout (&%IDB_STATUS) represent the substitution fonts for the following areas.
Parameter: 1 - 249 Example: SETSUBFNT 86 NOTE: Font 86 needs to be present in the font table prior to this command. The entire font definition (incl. string before/after etc.) is transferred to font table position 3. For instance, if IBM font 67 was the font previously stated in position 3, this is moved to another position in the font table.
