Getting Started

Thank you for purchasing the Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe.
LAN
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
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.
This document deals only with setting up and using the SCS/TNe
Overview
emulation in the Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe. It will help you to
understand, use, and change option settings for receiving SNA
275.

    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.

    IDB Languages Usage IDB Basics: 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.
  • Page 250 IDB Basics: IDB Languages Usage 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 F - Managing the SCS TN5250e Font Table Introduction Appendix - SCS TN5250eFont 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.
