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

Important Configuration Basics
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:

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.

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.

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.

Task 3 - SCS/TNe Emulation printing requires a MarkNet internal print server
or a Standard Network port on the printer.
Configuring a
Print Server
A. To check the installed print server firmware version
IMPORTANT:
1 From a Ready state touch Menus.
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.
2 Touch Reports.

these appear, then you do not have a Standard Network or
internal print server installed.
a If Network Setup Page appears, touch it. This prints the
Standard Network Card menu settings page.
b If Network # Setup Page appears, touch it. This prints a
settings page for the internal print server in slot #, where # is a

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

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.

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

APO automatically controls page orientation. When APO is enabled
the SCS/TNe Emulation calculates the print area required for print-
ing the document. This is based on page formatting commands
received from the host. If the document does not fit on a page in
portrait orientation, the orientation is changed to landscape.

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.

Overlay Call This SCS Options option defines if an overlay call (predefined
string) is printed on the top of each page. The overlay may contain a
(IDB Option 28)
call to an electronic form, a macro, or the string stated by the
OVLDRWcommand itself. It has a maximum of 255 characters. A
string for paper tray 1 and paper tray 2 can be defined.
When the overlay call is enabled, either OVLDRWcommand 1 or 2 will
be executed at the top of each page. OVLDRWcommand 1 will be
executed if paper tray 1 has been selected and OVLDRWcommand 2
will be executed if paper tray 2 has been selected.

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.

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

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.

In addition, the TN5250E users have a second language available.
This is the User IDB Language, which is somewhat easier to use.
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.)

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.

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",-

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

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.

•
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
290
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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.

Command:
PRGFNT <Ibmfont> <Spacing> <String>:
PRGFNT DEL <IBMfont>:
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 SETSUBFNTcommand.

<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":
3 Delete all previous font definitions in order to make room for
new font definitions:
PRGFNT DEL 71

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.

Parameter:

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.
