Defining the Printer Authorization Matrix during
Customizing
Figure C-2 shows how the
prin~er
authorization matrix is filled out to
define the matrix shown in Figure C-1. In Sequence A, the port addresses
are shown in numeric seql1ence; however, this is not a requirement. The
entries may be entered as shown in Sequence B, that is, in no particular
sequence and not in consecutive groups. The following description refers
only to Sequence A. The example of a worksheet in Figure
C-3
shows how
the numeric entries of Figure C-2 are derived. To fill out the worksheet for
the printer attached to port with address 02 (Figure·
C-1),
AA = 02. This
printer is to operate in local mode, so m = 1. These numbers will later be
transferred to the Printer Authorization Matrix Form. Figure C-4 shows a
sample printer authorization matrix worksheet for 3274 Models 1, 21, and
31. Figure
C-5
shows a sample printer authorization matrix worksheet for a
Model
51C.
Note that when specifying a printer authorization matrix for a
Model 51 C, although 31 possible entries are displayed, orly seven can be
specified.
The X and Y entries are completed in two steps. In step 1, the binary
values of X and Y are entered on the worksheet for the class and the source
device list, respectively. In step 2, the binary values are converted to
hexadecimal notation. The hexadecimal notations are later transferred to
the Printer Authorization Matrix Form.
To continue with Figure C-1, no class (70 through 85) is defined for the
printer· attached to port 02, so XXXX
=
hex 0000. The source device list in
Figure
C-1
indicates (by a
1)
that the display terminal attached to port 0
can copy to this printer. Therefore, a 1 is entered in· the 0 column of the
first Y (Figure
C-3).
No other displays can copy to this printer, so O's
(zeros) are entered in all remaining columns under the Ys. The binary 1000
under the first Y on the worksheet is .converted to hex 8. Because all other
X and Y entries are binary O's, all remaining hex entries are O's.
