By adjusting Print Position, you can specify the alignment of printed output. Press the
Enter key to display the following choices:
Left – Places the trim area printed output at the left margin of the printer area.
Center – Places the trim area printed output in the center of the printer area.
Right – Places the trim area printed output at the right margin of the printer area.
None (default) – Places the trim area printed output in the same position as on the
screen.
ASCII Passthru Mode
ASCII Passthru Mode adds flexibility to the Host Addressable Print function. The HAP
feature can send data to the terminal in LU1 (EBCDIC data) or LU3 (Regen data) Mode.
The APM can then perform its functions prior to the terminal sending the data to the
printer. The NIBBLE DELIMITER String (NDS) field must be filled in with one or two
characters. APM data characters must be 0-9 or A-F, any others will cause the program to
terminate any APM functions being performed on that string with a result of a garbled
printout.
APM selections:
OFF – all the APM features have been disabled. This is the default setting. All data is
handled as normal.
SINGLE PAIR – the NDS will be followed by two bytes of data which will be
converted into one byte of data which will be sent to the printer without any translation.
MULTIPLE PAIRS – each pair of data which occur between NDS strings will be
converted and packed into single bytes of data which will be sent to the printer without
any translation.
There is also a provision for what can be called an exclusion mode. To turn on the
exclusion mode NDS followed by '–' byte followed by the NDS must be sent. All
data following is ignored unless it appears between other starting and ending NDS
strings. To turn off the exclusion mode, send '+' byte between two NDS strings.
SINGLE TERMINATOR – same as Multiple Pairs, but the beginning NDS is two
bytes and the ending NDS is only one byte.
