  • Page 22: Remote Configuration Using A Browser

    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.
  • Page 23: How To Use The Browser Interface

    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.
  • Page 24 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.
  • Page 25 The SCS/TNe emulation will attempt to reconnect to the host. 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.

  • Page 246: Idb Basics

    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.
  • Page 247 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.
  • Page 248: Other References

    Other Sample IDB command strings, which set the options to their default References 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.
  • Page 249: Idb Languages Usage

    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 Send the data to the SCS/TNe Emulation device using a word processing system (eg OfficeVision) or simply by typing...
  • Page 250 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.

    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.
  • Page 286: Details

    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.

  • Page 294: Managing The Scs Tn5250E Font Table

    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).
  • Page 295 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.

  • Page 298 <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. : Please notice that the SCS/TNe Emulation always sends a character spacing command after the entire font command.
  • Page 299 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.
  • Page 300 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": Delete all previous font definitions in order to make room for new font definitions:...
  • Page 301: Set Substituted Font Id

    Set Substituted If a font ID sent from the system is not found in the font table, the Font ID 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 ) represent the substitution fonts for the following &%IDB_STATUS areas.
  • Page 302 Parameter: 1 - 249 Example: SETSUBFNT 86 : 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.
