Attaching Printer To Vm Host System; Sna Attachment - IBM 6500 User Manual

Step 3 - Define to CICS or another application program
Host commands for changing printer settings are not supported in this mode.
Refer to the vendor documentation for defining an DSC printer to the program for
its use.
Step 4 - Printer Settings
It is recommended that the following printer settings be changed from factory
default setting:
v Printer Control => Interface Selection => Coax
v Coax Interface => Format Control => Enable
v Coax Interface => Early Print Complete => Enable
In LU0 mode the printer settings control the orientation, CPI, LPI and all other
aspects of the printed output. Therefore, you must set the printer settings to match
the characteristics of the job you are printing. Host controls are not supported in
this mode.
