Image Buffer Size; Intervention Required; Compatibility Options; Translate Table - IBM 6500 User Manual

Image Buffer Size

IMAGE BUFFER SIZE (screen buffer size) allows you to select the following image
buffer sizes:
v 4K (the default)
v 2K
A POR status is sent to the host when the printer is made READY.

Intervention Required

Select from the following:
v Not Send To Host (the default)
v Send To Host. The printer sends a signal to the host computer when any of the
following occur:
– Printer faults occur.
– Hold mode timeout occurs.
If not selected, the printer will only send the signal on printer faults that cause
data loss (paper jam, ribbon stall, online platen open, and so forth).

Compatibility Options

See page 86.

Translate Table

This parameter defines which translate table to use for printing. The following
options are available:
v Default (the default). Translates data by using the default table of the current
character set.
v Downloaded Translates data from EBCDIC to internal code by using the
downloaded translate table.

Override Host

OVERRIDE HOST determines whether the printer executes certain commands sent
by the host, or continues to use the current settings. The following host commands
are ignored when OVERRIDE HOST is enabled: line length, forms length, lines per
inch (LPI), characters per inch (CPI), print quality, and text orientation (that is, left
to right). When OVERRIDE HOST is enabled, these settings retain their operator
panel settings.
v Disable (the default). Allows certain host commands (line length, forms length,
LPI, CPI, print quality, and text orientation) to override operator panel settings.
Note that the information appearing on the message display may not match the
data stream setting. No values will change upon initial selection of the disable
option.
v Enable. Permits operator panel settings to override host data stream commands.
