AGILE 5250 OPTIMA User’s Guide and ReferencePage A-20
LINEFEED specifies that the OPTIMA should use line feeds to move
from line to line. This causes the line density to be based
upon the current fonts height.
Regardless of the setting of this option, the OPTIMA always uses line
feeds when PFS suppression is active.
Interfacing Xerox 4235 Printers in XPPM Mode
Interfacing the 4235 printer in XPPM mode creates its own set of
problems. The primary problem is that the OPTIMA does not provide
SCS/DCA (host system command) to XPPM translation. This is not
normally a problem, because the main reason for using XPPM mode is to
print preexisting applications and documents that use XPPM commands
and strategies (DJDE, JDE, JDL and sometimes Metacode) to provide
formatting.
In order to print XPPM documents, the user needs to tell the OPTIMA not
to send XDPM codes that it normally uses to control formatting. Only one
configuration option needs to be set in this situation:
CONFIG:TWINAXn: XEROX:PFSSPRS=SUPPRESS
specifies that the OPTIMA should not send PFSs to the printer for data
received on twinax address n.
If the user would also like to be able to send system print jobs to the
printer, the user can activate a second twinax address port on the OPTIMA
and configure it to send data to a different output port (parallel or serial)
and configure the printer to print that data in XDPM mode.
