AGILE 5250 ALLY User’s Guide and Reference

The 5250 ALLY has two different modes of transparency for use in passing Metacode from the host System to the printer. The 5250 ALLY’s normal handling of transparent data is to remove the data from the transparent “packet” and to send the data to the printer. XPPM printers, however, require that they receive the data in a transparent packet. The 5250 ALLY has a special option that specifies whether the transparent packet header should be passed along to the printer.

Metacode transparency is inactive: This option specifies that the 5250 ALLY should not send transparent packets intact to the printer, but that it should send only the data in the packet. For example when the 5250 ALLY receives: Hex 35 countbyte ...data..., only the ...data... will be sent to the printer. The Hex 35 and countbyte will be stripped.

Metacode transparency is active: This option specifies that the 5250 ALLY should keep transparent data packets intact when sending them to the printer. When the 5250 ALLY receives a packet of the form: Hex 35 countbyte ...data..., the printer will receive Hex 35 countbyte ...data....

To program this option:

!AGILE!0606=00; Metacode transparency is inactive (default) !AGILE!0606=01; Metacode transparency is active

46 — Line Feed Configuration

This setting is useful only for XDPM data streams. It has no use for XPPM data streams.

The 5250 ALLY, when driving Xerox XDPM mode printers, usually performs a relative vertical movement command at the end of each line of text in order to place the next line of text at the correct vertical position. This vertical positioning is based upon the System-requested line density setting.

Some XDPM documents are formatted with the assumption that the line density is based upon the height of the current active font.

The 5250 ALLY has a setting that allows the user to specify whether the line density should be based upon the font’s height, or the System- specified line density.

Line Feed movement is Absolute: This setting should not be used for Xerox printers.

Line Feed movement is Relative: This option specifies that the 5250 ALLY should use relative vertical movements to simulate System- specified line density.
