Teklogix 9150 Wireless Gateway User Manual
Notes:
1. Unlike the Passthru option, when using Host Print no escape
commands can be sent to the printer.
2. Support for printing must be enabled at the terminal in its Printer
command under the TESS Features menu; refer to the appropriate
Terminals User Manual for more information.
Remote Print
When this parameter is enabled, the 9150 sends the print page to a terminal when-
ever the terminal requests it (by sending the “F17” function key from the terminal,
or the “PRINT” key on older terminals). The 9150 sends the function response back
to the host.
This is in contrast to Host Print, where the host makes the initial print request.
Note: Support for printing must be enabled at the terminal. Refer to the
Terminals User Manual or the Parameter Guide for more information.
Pages
This parameter determines the number of host screens (or pages) stored at
the terminal, to a maximum of 16.
The 9150 reduces data transmitted to the terminals by using the terminal’s capability
to store a page of data for each screen it displays. The 9150 maintains an image of
each page stored at the terminal. After receiving an application screen, the 9150 tries
to match the screen with a stored page. If a similar page is already in the terminal’s
memory, the 9150 instructs the terminal to redisplay its copy of the page; only the
necessary changes are sent from the controller. If no match is found, the complete
page is sent to the terminal over the radio link.
Note: There is a corresponding parameter on the terminal itself, and the actual
number of saved pages will be the smaller of the two values.
