Format Control; Maximum Printable Width; C/T Hotport - IBM 6500 User Manual

Format Control

Enables the printer to reflect the same spacing as 6408/6412 Model CT0 printers
after absolute and relative move commands are executed. The following options
are available:
v Disable (the default) does not reflect distance, generated by the Code V feature,
IGP feature, and Hex Transparent control code sequence, in the new position
(after absolute and relative move commands are executed).
v Enable. Reflects 6408/6412 Model CT0 distance, generated by the Code V
feature, IGP feature, and Hex Transparent control code sequence, in the new
position (after absolute and relative move commands are executed).

Maximum Printable Width

Sets the maximum width of the printer when using a CT host interface.
v 13.2 Inches (the default)
v 13.6 Inches
Note: The 5250 interface menu and 3270 interface menu option for maximum
printable width use the same internal variable. Setting this option in either
menu will make it the current setting for the printer, independent of the
interface used.
Although the LP+ emulation maintains width in characters, the maximum
printable width in characters is controlled by the same internal variable that
is set by the 5250 interface menu and 3270 interface menu option for
maximum printable width option.

C/T Hotport

Gives the printer the ability to handle multiple data streams simultaneously. It
allows the printer to serve hosts attached to the serial, parallel, and either coax or
twinax ports as if they were the only interface connected.
Port Type
Selects the type of port to be used. The Disable selection disables the port from the
hotport process. The available selections are:
v Twinax (the default)
v Coax
v Disable
Note: Changing the Port Type in this menu option also changes the Port Type
setting in the Coax Interface Menu.
