LAN  
environment  
The card provides high quality IBM host connectivity print output.  
With the appropriate print server and host software, your printer or  
Multifunction Product (MFP) becomes an IBM host workstation  
printer capable of printing IPDS or SCS documents from an iSeries,  
AS/400, or mainframe. For a more detailed product description, see  
“Specifications, Requirements, Features” on page 277.  
IMPORTANT: Unless otherwise stated, the term  
printer in this manual refers to both printers and  
MFPs.  
SCS data is received in a LAN environment using the Telnet  
extended protocol. The Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe adds support  
for the TN3270E and the TN5250E protocols. A correctly configured  
printer can receive, process, and print SCS print jobs received over  
TCP/IP.  
Documentation This document deals only with setting up and using the SCS/TNe  
emulation in the Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe. It will help you to  
understand, use, and change option settings for receiving SNA

Introduction SCS/TNe MENU options settings can be changed and saved in  
three ways:  
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.  
Use the control panel (“Understanding the Control  
Panel” on page 10 - which also contains all basic  
information on types of settings).  
Work with the settings remotely using a browser  
(“Remote Configuration Using a Browser” on page 24  
ff.)  
Work with the settings remotely using IDB option  
strings (see “IDB Basics” on page 248 ff. and “Addi-  
tional TN5250e Printer Commands Using IDB” on  
page 260 ff). Using IDB in this way is a highly technical  
process used only in connection with configurations  
and re-configurations.  
Detailed, specialized listings and descriptions of option settings can  
be found in:  
“Operations Reference - TN3270E SETUP” on page 85 and  
“Operations Reference - TN5250E SETUP” on page 155.

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 dif-  
fer, 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 pro-  
ceeding with installation setups.  
Descriptions of how to carry out installation setups are found in:  
“Installation Setup for Mainframe Users” on page 28 ff. and  
“Installation Setup for AS/400 and iSeries Users” on page 55 ff.  
Detailed, specialized listings and descriptions of option settings are  
found in:  
“Operations Reference - TN3270E SETUP” on page 85 and  
“Operations Reference - TN5250E SETUP” on page 155.  
All descriptions include the available options and their values.

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 Stan-  
dard Network port or MarkNet internal print server.  
IMPORTANT: Unless otherwise stated, the term  
printer in this manual refers to both printers and  
MFPs.  
Remote configuration is especially useful during printer installation  
to set all of the SCS/TNe options to the values recommended by  
your system administrator. At a later time, any necessary changes  
can be made on each printer, either from a browser or via the oper-  
ator panel.  
How Remote All option values which may be changed remotely will be displayed  
in the browser interface. Simply change the option value settings  
desired and select Submit.This sends the new option value settings  
to the printer.

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.

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.

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. The  
Submit button sends the new values to the printer. These  
values are saved in the printer and will become active when  
the next session is started.  
12 The browser will then display a confirmation that settings  
have been submitted.  
13 Repeat with the other TN3270E or TN5250E menus as  
desired.

Installation Setup for Mainframe Users  
Introduction 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.)  
IMPORTANT:  
Tasks may be completed in any order but all tasks  
must be completed to begin printing.  
Tasks numbered #A are unique for printing directly from a Main-  
frame. Tasks numbered #B are unique for printing via a SNA Server.  
Before beginning the installation tasks, it is recommended that you  
obtain the latest version of the MarkNet internal print server firm-  
ware as well as the latest SCS/TNe publications and Card for IPDS  
and SCS/TNe code from the internet sites listed in “Support” on  
page 4.

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

EJ3270 APPL AUTH=NVPACE,EAS=1,PARSESS=NO,  
MODETAB=MODETAB2,SESSLIM=YES,DLOGMOD=SCS  
NOTE: IMLU1; DHW3270; and EJ3270; are the printer devices.  
SC0TCP01is a terminal device, and is not needed for printer  
definitions in this node.

Second, define the VTAM printer member (i.e. IMLU1listed 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,

Task 2A - The printer with the SCS/TNe Emulation is defined to the Telnet  
server in much the same way as a display LU.  
Configuring a

Instead of the LUGROUPand LUMAPcommands, the PRTGROUPand  
TN3270e PRTMAPcommands are used.  
Printing  
TIP:  
It is important to observe the one-to-one mapping of display LUs to  
printer LUs. This means that a single display LU is mapped to a sin-  
gle printer LU or a display LU group is mapped to a printer LU  
group. Each group must have the same number of LUs.  
Refer to your system documentation for further  
details.

Installation Setup for AS/400 and  
iSeries Users  
Introduction This chapter applies to AS/400 and iSeries users. (Mainframe users  
refer to “Installation Setup for Mainframe Users” on page 28.)  
The tasks presented describe how to set up the host and the SCS/  
TNe Emulation for AS/400 or iSeries printing.  
IMPORTANT:  
Tasks may be completed in any order but all tasks  
must be completed to begin printing.  
Before beginning the installation, it is recommended that you obtain  
the latest version of the SCS/TNe firmware, Standard Network or  
MarkNet internal print server firmware from the internet sites listed  
in “Support” on page 4

Task 1 - The host operating system must support TCP/IP and extended Tel-  
net protocols to print SCS jobs to a LAN attached printer.  
Configuring the  
Host  
Section “AS/400 and iSeries Software” on page 279 lists host soft-  
ware which supports these protocols.  
To configure the host check and set the following three system  
values.  
System Value Required Value  
QAUTOCFG  
Controls the automatic configuration of devices.  
Must be set to '1'  
Sample commands:  
DSPSYSVAL SYSVAL(QAUTOCFG)  
CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QAUTOCFG) VALUE('1')  
QAUTORMT  
Controls the automatic configuration of remote  
controllers.  
Must be set to '1'  
Sample commands:

QAUTOVRT  
Controls the automatic configuration of virtual devices.  
Must be set to an adequate number of devices  
Sample commands:  
DSPSYSVAL QAUTOVRT  
CHGSYSVAL QAUTOVRT ###  
Where ### is the number of devices.  
When these values are properly configured, the host will auto con-  
figure devices and writers with the information received from the  
SCS/TNe Emulation.

SCS/TNe Cancel  
About Cancel SCS jobs may be canceled at the printer or MFP.  
Job  
Cancel Job only displays when the printer or MFP is processing a  
print job.  
Selecting a specific job to cancel is difficult when several small jobs  
are queued to print from the host. The job being printed may not be  
the job which is canceled.  
The procedures for cancelling a job differ for printers and MFPs, as  
shown below.  
Important! When a job is cancelled, the SCS/TNe Emulation stops processing  
data received from the host.  
All job data received after the cancel is discarded. The host will  
remove the job from its queue after all data has been sent to the  
SCS/TNe Emulation.

Hex Dump and SCS5250 Hex Dump options.  
NOTE: If the Download Font (IDB Option 244) option is Enabled on  
a TN5250e session, the fonts will be output in the trace data

The SCS/TNe Emulation has default settings for most SCS com-  
mands found in an SCS job. If one or more SCS settings are miss-  
ing from a job, the SCS/TNe Emulation uses the value specified in  
the SCS OPTIONS menu for the option. Settings specified in an  
SCS job override the SCS/TNe Emulation default settings.  
An asterisk (*) next to a value setting indicates that the setting is  
currently active. The current setting for each option is listed on the  
Menu Settings page (“How to access the Menu Settings Page” on  
page 78).  
Options using text strings as settings which have not been config-  
ured display the text string "[undefined]" and show "[undefined]" on  
the Menu Settings page.  
Options using values as settings which are set outside their ranges  
do not have an asterisk in the operator panel to indicate the current  
setting. The Menu Settings page shows the text string "[invalid]" for  
options set outside their ranges. Invalid will print for installed fea-  
tures which were selected as the option value but have been unin-  
stalled. Select one of the currently installed features. Setting options  
to values outside the ranges shown in the operator panel is possible  
via remote configuration and should be avoided.

The SCS/TNe Emulation has default settings for most SCS com-  
mands found in an SCS job. If one or more SCS settings are miss-  
ing from a job, the SCS/TNe Emulation uses the value specified in  
the SCS OPTIONS menu for the option. Settings specified in an  
SCS job override the SCS/TNe Emulation default settings.  
An asterisk (*) next to a value setting indicates that the setting is  
currently active. The current setting for each option is listed on the  
Menu Settings page. (“How to access the Menu Settings Page” on  
page 78)  
Options using text strings as settings which have not been config-  
ured display the text string "[undefined]" and show "[undefined]" on  
the Menu Settings page.  
Options using values as settings which are set outside their ranges  
do not have an asterisk in the operator panel to indicate the current  
setting. The Menu Settings page shows the text string "[invalid]" for  
options set outside their ranges. Invalid will print for installed fea-  
tures which were selected as the option value but have been unin-  
stalled. Select one of the currently installed features. Setting options  
to values outside the ranges shown in the operator panel is possible  
via remote configuration and should be avoided.

Prop Font Move This SCS Options option controls whether or not the SCS/TNe  
Emulation uses proportional font handling.  
(IDB Option 118)  
The individual character width values of the printer's native fonts  
must correspond to the width value which the host expects the char-  
acters 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.  
Setting this option to Use enables Proportional Font Move on all  
fonts. If you need to enable the function for only a single font, it is  
recommended to use the Pvalue for the <spacing>parameter in  
the PRGFNTcommand.

commands are sent to the SCS/TNe Emulation. The CSC is also  
used in front of the Lead-in characters defined with option 171 and  
172. Last of all the CSC is also used for passing single hex values  
to the printer, e.g. &%1B = <esc>.  
The IDB option value is an ASCII character in the decimal range 33  
- 126. Refer to “Appendix B - ASCII Character Table” on page 282

COR Action 1 This SCS Options > COR/APO Settings option defines how the  
APO/COR function (Automatic Page Orientation/Computer Output  
Reduction) works for paper tray 1.  
(IDB Option 123)  
With this option it is possible to disable the APO/COR function so  
that the page orientation change only can be made manually. It is  
also possible to select between Landscape and Portrait (APO) only,  
or it can be stated that automatic reduction (COR) is performed after  
the APO as well. Refer to “Appendix D - COR/APO Logic  
(TN5250e)” on page 287.  
When Enable APO is selected, the SCS/TNe Emulation calculates  
the print area required for printing the document. If the document  
does not fit on the page in portrait orientation, the orientation is  
changed to landscape.  
The Enable Auto COR function is an extension of the Enable APO  
function. If the page does not fit after the APO has been performed,  
the COR function is activated. This is done using the CPI compres-  
sions specified with the Compress CPI (IDB Option 128) option. If  
the page cannot be made to fit, the setting of the Def Page Ori 1  
(IDB Option 121) option is used together with the compressed CPI.

PPM Quality Dis This SCS Options > COR/APO Settings option controls the text  
mode used in the APO/COR function. In the APO/COR function, the  
print quality parameter is used (text mode on/off) to disable/enable  
computer output reduction mode.  
(IDB Opt.126)  
To print in computer output reduction mode, the print quality must be  
set to Data Processing (Text mode off). If "Letter Quality" or "Draft"  
(Text mode on) is selected, the computer output reduction mode will  
be disabled and the print job will be printed in Portrait orientation  
(Text mode).  
As it will not always be possible to control the print quality of the jobs  
printed from the host, this option is used to disable text mode. When  
text mode is disabled, the APO/COR function will ignore the print  
quality parameter and print all print jobs fulfilling the requirements in  
computer output reduction mode. Refer to “Appendix D - COR/APO  
Logic (TN5250e)” on page 287

IDB Basics  
Introduction On-line programming of the SCS options received through the SCS  
emulation expands the possibilities for adapting the SCS/TNe Emu-  
lation 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 Emula-  
tion’s storage of all SCS protocol conversion tables.  
This chapter reviews how to use IDB commands to change the SCS  
option settings remotely. Configuration of the IDB settings  
should only be carried out by authorized technical personal.  
A complete description is given in the IDB Technical Reference  
guide, available on the internet site with manual updates listed in  
“Support” on page 4.  
The IDB Both TN3270E and TN5250E users can use the Advanced IDB Lan-  
guage to access and configure/customize the SCS options found in  
the protocol conversion tables.  
Languages

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-config-  
uration of the SCS/TNe settings.  
The IDB languages should not be used to control settings on a job  
by job basis.  
An IDB language is used directly from the AS/400, iSeries or Main-  
frame host by printing IDB command line sequences on the printer.  
This is typically done by embedding the unique IDB commands in a  
normal text document which is printed like any normal job.  
Alternatively, you can retrieve the SCS options as an IDB Configura-  
tion File via FTP, edit the file with a utility program and upload it.  
Several sections in this chapter discuss the management of such a  
configuration file (see “IDB Configuration File Management” on  
page 254 ff.)

249  
Other Sample IDB command strings, which set the options to their default  
settings, are written after each option description in chapter “Opera-  
tions 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 - TN5250E SETUP” on page 155.  
The descriptions include the available options and their values.  
The chapter on “Additional TN5250e Printer Commands Using IDB”  
on page 260 covers IDB commands which can be embedded in the  
SCS data stream, including details on syntax.

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.  
2 IDB command strings are not printed.  
3 All option settings with syntax or range errors are ignored. If  
the SCS/TNe Emulation prints out the commands, or prints  
out error messages, it could be because the characters used  
for programming (& % E : ...etc) have been corrupted. You  
must reset the SCS OPTIONS to their factory defaults.

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 set-  
tings 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 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  
Configuration  
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.

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 recog-  
nized, 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. for background information on  
IDB.

Input Data String The input data string (<data>) following some printer commands  
can contain three parts: Text, decimal numbers, and hexadecimal  
numbers.  
Syntax  
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.  
/23,/EE,/E4,/45,/F2,/78,/34,/1F  
Text, decimal numbers, and hexadecimal numbers can be mixed by  
separating each element with a comma. Example:  
/0A,/0D, "Text",12,/0D,10,"More text",-  
45,"Last text",/0C

Initializing - Before working with the additional commands, you need to familiar-  
ize yourself with the Power On Initialization. This is used to set up  
the printer each time it is powered On.  
Power On  
Initialize  
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.

Code Page 259 > Code page 259 is a character set which only contains symbols and  
signs. Most of the symbols and signs are not contained in the nor-  
mal character set of the printer which means that they cannot be  
used from AS/400 or iSeries.  
Before/After  
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.  
It is also possible to select another font in the printer, e.g. a special  
mathematical font.  
The COD259 BEFcommand is executed each time there is a switch  
to code page 259 from another code page. It is not executed if code  
page 259 is selected repeatedly.  
The COD259 AFTcommand is executed each time there is a switch  
from code page 259 to another code page. It is not executed if the  
previous code page was not code page 259.

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. This is  
found in fanfold lists which are normally printed on matrix printers  
with wide platens. The automatic controls can easily be tested by  
using the "Print Screen" key from the system. The screen dump is  
usually printed in landscape and compressed if the automatic page  
orientation (APO) and computer output reduction (COR) in the SCS/  
TNe Emulation is switched on with the CORDRWcommand.  
The focus of this discussion is on how the printer automatic controls  
operate, as the user does not always have the possibility of defining  
whether a printout is to be rotated and compressed in the system. It  
Appendix - COR/APO Logic (TN5250e): Introduction

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 appen-  
dix.  
1 The calculation of the page format is based on information  
found in the FCB.  
characters per line  
characters per inch (pitch)  
--------------------------------------------------------------------  
page width (inches) =  
line per page  
lines per inch (LPI)  
-------------------------------------------------  
page length =  
These two measures are compared with values set in the  
PAGLNGand PAGWDToption settings. Refer to section “Page  
Length (IDB Opt. 82 & 83)” on page 240 and to section “Page  
Width (IDB Opt.84 & 85)” on page 242, which together  
specify the maximum valid page size.  
Example:  
Use an A4 page format as valid page.  
Appendix - COR/APO Logic (TN5250e): Details  
288  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
PAGLNG = A4and PAGWDT = A4  
2 If the page format stated in the FCB is within (or equal to) the  
page size settings of the PAGLNGand PAGWDToption 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.  
3 If either the page width or the page length from the system  
exceeds the page size stated in the SCS/TNe Emulation the  
page size is "invalid". The result is a compressed landscape  
printout by means of the COR algorithm in the SCS/TNe  
Emulation.  
"Vertical spacing" is reduced from normal line spacing  
to a percentage value according to the LINSPRED  
option setting. Refer to section “COR LSI Reduc (IDB  
Option 127)” on page 207.  
Margins (offset) are set according to the LFTOFFCOR  
and TOPOFFCORoption settings. Refer to section Top  
Margin COR (IDB Opt. 80 & 81)” on page 234 and to  
section “Left Margin COR (IDB Opt. 78 & 79)” on  
page 232.  
Appendix - COR/APO Logic (TN5250e): Details

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.g., the  
number of characters per line, which is normally set to 132  
characters. Therefore a final control exists, which allows the  
user to prevent a compressed landscape printout and force it  
into portrait with a font selected by them.  
Portrait can be forced with one of the statements below.  
PRTQLTY(*STD)or (*NLQ)or PAGRTT(0)for AS/400  
or iSeries.  
NOTE: If only APO is enabled in the CORDRW 1and CORDRW 2  
options the statements TEXT/PRTQLTYforces the  
printout into landscape. The ROTATE/PAGRTTforces  
the printout into portrait if only APO is enabled.  
Appendix - COR/APO Logic (TN5250e): Details

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. Defining the printer file to make the COR  
is normally done in connection with IPDS page printers as these  
printers do not support the APO/COR function.  
If the APO/COR is disabled (CORDRW 1/2 = OFF), the STOcom-  
mand will control the rotation of the printout. This means that if a  
landscape print job controlled by the STOcommand is received, and  
this is followed by a print job without the STOcommand, then the  
second job is affected by the STOcommand received with the first  
job. The result is a landscape printout. This is the only way an origi-  
nal IBM 3812 can operate. However, a default page orientation can  
be set with the ORTDRW #option. Refer to section “Def Page Ori 1  
(IDB Option 121)” on page 199 and to section “Def Page Ori 2 (IDB  
Option 122)” on page 200 for paper tray 1 and 2, respectively.

Appendix F - Managing the SCS  
TN5250e Font Table  
Introduction The SCS/TNe Emulation has a programmable font table, which con-  
tains the conversion between the IBM font IDs (sent from the sys-  
tem) to the internal fonts used in the printer. The font table has a  
limit of 50 fonts + 3 fonts used for COR (Computer Output Reduc-  
tion). 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. This status sheet  
has the IBM IDs indicated in the second column. To free font posi-  
tions the DELparameter in the PRGFNTcommand has to be used.  
Alternatively, an existing IBM font definition can be overwritten with  
the PRGFNTcommand.  
The PRGFNT DELcommand deletes an IBM font defined in the font  
table. This is necessary if more than 50 different IBM font IDs are  
programmed in the font table. It is not necessary to use the PRGFNT  
DELcommand if an existing IBM font ID is used. In that case, the  
PRGFNTcommand overwrites all information attached to the previ-  
ous font definition.

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 loading of these fonts  
can be disabled via the operator panel using the Download Font  
(IDB Option 244) option. See page 188.

<String>  
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  
<String> 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  
<String> has no effect. It is overwritten by a  
character spacing command corresponding  
to the font areas described under <Ibmfont>.  
<Spacing> The spacing determines whether the SCS/TNe  
Emulation or the printer has to control the spacing  
when using proportional fonts (Fonts with IBM no.  
154 - 200). The spacing command should only be  
used when using downloaded proportional fonts  
with the correct character spacing.  
N
This value is used whenever the font is not  
proportional.

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 sup-  
port for downloaded IBM PS fonts. This  
ensures correct spacing of downloaded pro-  
portional 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 charac-  
ter spacing is expected. Please note that this  
gives no support for justification, bolding and  
underlining.  
When selecting a font, a predefined string (String no. 100) is printed  
before <String>. The predefined string contains the symbol set and  
is normally /1B,"(12U".  
Examples:  
1 The Letter Gothic PCL font is selected when IBM font ID 87  
(Letter Gothic 12 pitch) is sent from the system.  
PRGFNT 87 N /1B,"(s0p12h0b4102T":

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,"(s1p12.72v0s0b202T":

Set Substituted 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 ID  
font table. The first 7 font positions listed in the status printout  
(&%IDB_STATUS) represent the substitution fonts for the following  
areas.

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. It is, however, still  
available with font ID 67, but all font IDs sent from  
the system in the range 66-153, which are not  
present in the SCS/TNe Emulation with a specific  
font ID, are printed with the definition of font 86.
