AGILE 5250 OPTIMA User’s Guide and Reference

 

 

Command:

Transparent (TRN)

Format:

35 nn [data]

Printers:

4214, 5224, 5225

Action:

Causes the printer to enter a transparent printer mode,

 

where the subsequent nn characters are not checked for

 

control codes.

 

This command allows printing of the bit images

 

previously associated with control characters by the Load

 

Alternate Characters (LAC) command.

 

The count parameter, nn, unlike the count parameter for

 

format commands, does not include the count byte itself.

 

The count parameter is the count of following bytes not

 

to be checked for SCS/DCA control codes.

IBMEMUL:

The OPTIMA allows data to be sent directly to the

 

printer (or other output device) with this command.

 

After receiving the Transparent command, it sends the

 

following nn bytes directly out the output port.

 

Unlike the ASCII Transparent (ATRN) mode,

 

Transparent data is translated before it is sent to the

 

target printer.

275EMUL:

Same as IBMEMUL.

 

 

Command:

Numeric Backspace (NBS)

Format:

36

Printers:

5219

Action:

This command is the same as Back Space (BS).

IBMEMUL:

Same as IBM.

275EMUL:

No operation.
