APPENDIX A: HOST DOWNLOAD CONFIGURATION
COMMANDS
This appendix defines the configuration commands which may be used to select setup values for the printer interface. These commands may be sent to the printer as part of a normal 3270 coax print job or hard copy print screen. The interface will identify the commands and obey their instructions without printing the text of the command. If the text of a command prints, check that the format of the command is correct.
The format for all configuration commands is:
&%Z‘Command | Number, ‘Value and/or data’ |
The ‘&%’characters are defined as the default ‘delimiter characters and the upper case ‘Z’is the default command ID character. It is possible to specify user selectable alternate values for the ‘delimiter characters (reference Command 40).
The capital letter Z (or other command character, reference Command 41) precedes all command numbers. Chaining multiple commands together is permitted by using a slash (/) or backslash (/) to separate the commands with no spaces allowed. Each command string must be preceded by an &% and terminated by at least one space or a control character (i.e. LF, NL, CR, or FF). Commands are utilized by the interface and sent to the printer immediately upon receipt from the host. Commands chained together with slashes and located on the first line and first position take effect immediately on the page where they are
located. Otherwise they take effect on the next page.
NOTES: The asterisk (*) character identifies factory default selections.
All commands have immediate effect unless noted otherwise.

An error causes the interface to exit download mode and print from the point of error.
