3 Section 3 of the Printer-Control Screen shows the active display session, displayed in reverse video, and the status of all the sessions on the host. Numbers are session addresses; “X” is displayed for sessions that are not active.

7.5.2THE PRINTER-OVERRIDE SCREEN

When you press [F6] at the Printer-Control Screen (User Override of CPI, LPI, and Quality), the Printer-Override Screen appears (see Table 7-6 below). This screen lets you “override” or change settings for the printer when you print host-print jobs. While User Override is active, host commands are ignored and the choices shown on this screen control the printing. (PC-print jobs can’t be controlled from this screen.)

Select any of the printer controls by pressing the function key shown to the left of the control description. The printer must be in a ready state for selections to take effect. If the printer is not ready, a message appears and the selection does not take effect.
