Maximum Printable Width; Hex Print Mode; C/T Hotport - IBM 6500 User Manual

Maximum Printable Width

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 twinax interface menu and coax 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 twinax interface menu and coax interface menu option for
maximum printable width option.

Hex Print Mode

When enabled, the HEX PRINT MODE parameter prints the EBCDIC data and
control codes received from the host as hex values.
v Disable (the default)
v Enable
Refer to page 227 to obtain a hex code printout.
Note: Printing in Hex Mode may alter print attributes set by the host computer. A
power cycle may be required after changing HEX PRINT MODE from
enable to disable.

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.
