These programs interact with an autonomous process on network print servers called the line printer daemon (LPD). Each 2209 terminal includes an LPD module that allows an LPR device on the network to assign print jobs to a local printer or network printer attached to the terminal. Check the Share local…using LPD/LPR box to enable LPD printing.

Page 65: Editing An Emulation Connection
Editing an Emulation Connection Editing an existing emulation connection is quite different in TBT and non-TBT viewing modes. Many more configuration parameters are accessible in non-TBT mode, and you may have to edit from one of those modes in order to get the emulation settings you need. Settings made in non-TBT mode remain in effect if you return to the TBT viewing mode.

Keyboard Language YESterm/IP supports several non-English keyboard languages. If you wish to use one of them, select it from the drop-down list. Keyboard Type YESterm/IP supports 3 different keyboard types (101 PC, 101 Terminal, and 122 Key) for several different languages. It is also possible to create a custom keyboard map, if desired. Activate Edit to get to the keyboard map page.

Page 70: Default View
Default View • Standard. This selection provides the standard green screen “text” appearance for your session screens, duplicating terminal screens. Hot Spots are invisible unless the mouse cursor is placed over one of them, and then only that one Hot Spot is visible. If you are in TBT mode, the Standard view is most familiar to you.

Display Emulation Screen with Advanced View and Hot Spot Either view can be overridden from the emulation screen Toolbars if desired. Attribute Settings Set the appearance of the attribute font on the screen. This includes properties such as foreground and background color, blinking, underscore, and the use of column separators.
Page 72: Hot Spot
Hot Spot Changes made in this property sheet affect all sessions. There is only one Hot Spot configuration per emulator, not one per session. Hot Spots are of little value if you are using the TBT viewing mode. Hot Spot Property Sheet A Hot Spot is an area of the session window on which you can single-click the left mouse button to execute a command or function.
Page 73 Emulation Screen with Standard View and Hot Spots Advanced View Hot Spots are displayed as raised buttons if the Advanced View option is selected in the Attributes tab or the emulation screen Toolbars. Advanced View is the most productive way to operate in non-TBT viewing mode since all menu items, Function Keys, sub-file options, and custom hot spots are always visible and accessible as raised buttons.
