The 3708 allows the control terminal operator to choose any integer value from 1 to
99 (defaults to 66) to represent the number of lines/page for each printer supported
by the 3708. This value is only used in LU type 1 printouts and only when the
application has not previously set the number of lines/page in the SVF command.
The configured lines/page value is set after an UNBIND (with disconnect specified)
or when the 3708 is restarted or turned off and back on again. A reset of the
lines/page value does not occur after UNBINDs with no disconnect specified or after
a DACTLU if DISCONNECT has a value of 4 or 5. Thus, if an application sets
the lines/page to some value, such as 72, through the SVF command, then the
original session is UNBOUND and is not disconnected; the next session on that
particular 3708 port finds the default lines/page set at 72.
Perform Formfeed After Local Copy
[y, N]
Y-The 3708 transmits a Form feed (FF) to a printer after each local copy
operation.
N-The 3708 does not transmit a FF after a local copy operation. This is the
default value.
3708 May Transmit Formfeed (LU _1 SCS)
[Y,N]
Y-The 3708 transmits FF characters when they are detected in the LU type 1
SCS data stream to the downstream printer.
N-When a FF is detected in the LU type 1 SCS data stream, the 3708 transmits
a CR LF followed by the appropriate number of LF, to page to the top of the
next form.
This feature is intended for printers that do not possess a manual lines/page
switch and are required to support several page sizes, or do not perform a CR
after receiving an FF.
The top of the next form is determined by the SVF command, if the application
transmitted one, or the DEFAULT PRINTER PAGE LENGTH setting.
Perform Formfeed at Begin Bracket (LU 1 SCS)
[y, N]
Y -For host prints, the 3708 transmits a FF at each SNA Begin Bracket
command. This is the default value.
N-The 3708 does not transmit a FF at a Begin Bracket command.
Perform Newline at Begin Bracket (LU_3)
[Y,N]
Y-The 3708 transmits an NL after each SNA Begin Bracket command during
an LU _3 DSC printout. This is the default value.
N-The 3708 does not transmit an NL at a Begin Bracket command.
