OPTIMA: CONFIG:TWINAXn: XEROX:FF SPRS=
NO SPRS This option tell the OPTIMA not to suppress the FF> PFS.
This means that form feeds received for this twinax address
will be sent to the printer normally.
AUTOSPRS This option tells the 5250 ALLY to suppress the FF> PFS
automatically after receiving an XDPM job start command.
These commands are: s+Pd, s+Qd, s+Md
and s+Nd. Form feed suppression will continue until the
XDPM job end command is received: s+Xd. This
setting is useful only for XDPM data streams.
FORMSPRS This option is similar to the AUTOSPRS option, except that
the 5250 ALLY starts suppression only for form-based jobs.
Form-based jobs are started with s+Md and s+Nd.
The Form Feed suppression mode is terminated with the job
reset command: s+Xd. This setting is useful only for
XDPM data streams.
SUPPRESS This option causes the OPTIMA to suppress all form feeds
for data received from the twinax address. If the user sets this
option, the only way to get a form feed to the printer is to
change a character translation table to translate a printable
EBCDIC character into the form feed character. This setting
is useful in both XDPM and XPPM mode, but it is rarely
used.
For more information on Form Feed suppression, see the previous sections
of this appendix, Automatic PFS Suppression and Automatic Form Feed
Suppression.
Change Form Feed to New Line Configuration
If Form Feed suppression is occuring, activating this feature will change
all form feeds requests into new lines (CR/LF). This option can be found in
