9.5.6 Emulation options for controlling the X2000 printer emulation

You can use the emulation options to enable certain functions in the printer emulation.
Some of these are required for diagnostic purposes whereas others may be useful or
necessary for operation.

-trace=n
-opt=ooo

-trans
-cpi=nn
-lq
-draft
-port

This switch must be set if the emulation operates a printer which is
connected via LAN and SEH Printserver.
The emulation's trace function is activated (n = 1/2) or deactivated (n = 0).
n=2 activates the permanent trace function. It should remain active for only
a small number of print jobs as otherwise the trace file can grow
unrestrictedly and the status file system full may be reached
(exception: additional option -opt=x10, see below).
n=1 activates the event-driven trace in which a maximum of 8 KB of trace
information is written to the trace file if an error occurs. This information
records the most recent actions performed by the emulation prior to recog-
nition of the error state.
This is used to set one or more option switches which are generally used
only for development purposes.
The option switch -opt=x10 is of relevance in combination with
-trace=2: This restricts the size of the trace file to approximately 1 MB. If
this limit is exceeded, the trace file is copied to a file with the suffix .sv and
a new trace file is created.
The seven settings below which affect the printed result can also be activated via a
BS2000 spool form with a corresponding PREFORM record. The setting then only
applies to print jobs with this form.
If this option is set then the emulation performs every print job in transparent
mode, i.e. control characters within the print data are also transferred (in
normal mode, non-printing characters and characters with a code > x'7F'
are converted into spaces).
Transparent mode has to be used in order to print the eurocurrency
i
symbol on printers with the character set ISO 8859-15 (Latin-9)!
This option sets the character width for each print job to nn characters per
inch (nn = 10/12/15/17).
Print output at the printer is performed in letter quality mode (LQ).
Print output at the printer is performed in draft quality mode (DRAFT).
The print data is prepared for vertical forms (PORTRAIT).
The print data is prepared for horizontal forms (LANDSCAPE).
