Extended Attribute Buffer Support
The ULTRA supports the Extended Attribute Buffer (EAB) feature found in many IBM 3287 printers. EAB is supported only for DSC data streams and only when the printer attached to the ULTRA is using the ASCII character set. This feature “extends” the number of characters available for transmission to the printer. These characters are found in the following Translate Table:
7DSC to ASCII APL
To use this feature, the ULTRA must have Option #10 — Output in ASCII or EBCDIC set to (A) ASCII; Option #11 — APL Output must be set to “Yes;” and Option #20 — Physical Buffer Size must be set to (B) 2K with EAB or (D) 4K with EAB. Also refer to the APL Support section above.
