Extended IBM Printer Emulation

When printing from an IBM host, the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e allows
you to make use of the following printer functions not found in
standard IBM printers:
• Configuration Mode
• Hex Transparency
• User Defined Strings
• String Substitutions
• Bar Codes
• Font Selection.
This appendix provides a brief overview of some of these functions.
The Configuration Mode provides a way to configure your AXIS
5570e/AXIS 5670e from your IBM system. For more information see
SNA Parameter Overview, on page 240.
The User Definable Strings are a set of 256 programmable sequences.
The UDS are useful for storing long sequences, such as printer
function sequences, within the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e. Each
sequence can be activated by inserting a short control command in
your documents.
The String Substitution function searches the output data stream for
specified sequences of AIC characters (Match Strings), and
substitutes them with other sequences (Substitute Strings). Up to 128
pairs of Match/Substitute Strings may be defined.
AIC (AXIS Internal Codes) are listed in the AXIS Network Print Server Technical
Reference.
