APPENDIX A — INTERFACING XEROX PRINTERS

Page A-15

Auto PFS suppression: This option causes the 5250 ALLY automatically to suppress all PFSs except the INIT, CR, LF and FF PFSs at the beginning of an XDPM print job. The XDPM job is delimited by one of the job start commands: s+Pd, s+Qd, s+Md, or s+Nd. This setting is useful only for XDPM data streams.

Suppress PFSs: This option causes the 5250 ALLY to suppress all PFSs for the data streams received on the twinax address. This allows the data stream to format the page without conflicts from System formatting requests. This option is useful for XPPM data streams. If the twinax address is receiving XPPM data to be sent to a printer in XPPM mode, this option should be set.

Suppress PFSs except bold and underline: This option is identical to Suppress, except that the BOLD ON, BOLDOFF, BSBOLD1, BSBOLD2, UNDL ON and UNDLOFF PFSs are not suppressed.

Auto PFS suppression except bold and underline: This option is identical to Auto PFS suppression, except that the BOLD ON, BOLDOFF, BSBOLD1, BSBOLD2, UNDL ON and UNDLOFF PFSs are also not suppressed.

To program this option:

 

!AGILE!0601=00;

Do not suppress PFSs

!AGILE!0601=01; Auto PFS suppression (default)

!AGILE!0601=02;

Suppress PFSs

!AGILE!0601=03; Suppress PFSs except bold and underline !AGILE!0601=04; Auto PFS suppression except bold and underline

0602 — Form Feed Suppression

The Form Feed suppression option can be useful for either XDPM or XPPM mode data streams, although it is probably most useful for XDPM mode. This option specifies how the 5250 ALLY will suppress Form Feeds. When Form Feed suppression is active, the 5250 ALLY will not send the FF PFS to the printer.

Do not suppress Form Feeds: This option tell the 5250 ALLY not to suppress the FF PFS. This means that Form Feeds received for this twinax address will be sent to the printer normally.

Auto Form Feed suppression: This option tells the 5250 ALLY to suppress the FF PFS automatically after receiving an XDPM job start command. These commands are: s+Pd, s+Qd, s+Md and s+Nd. Form feed suppression will continue until the XDPM job end command is received: s+Xd. This setting is useful only for XDPM data streams.
