APPENDIX A — INTERFACING XEROX PRINTERS

Page A-19

Line Feed movement is Line Feed: This option specifies that the 5250 ALLY should use Line Feeds to move from line to line. This causes the line density to be based upon the current font’s height.

Regardless of the setting of this option, the 5250 ALLY always uses Line Feeds when any type of PFS suppression is active.

To program this option:

!AGILE!46=00; Line Feed movement is Absolute

!AGILE!46=01; Line Feed movement is Relative (default)

!AGILE!46=02; Line Feed movement is Line Feed

Interfacing Xerox 4235 Printers in XPPM Mode

Interfacing the 4235 printer in XPPM mode creates its own set of problems. The primary problem is that the 5250 ALLY does not provide SCS/DCA (host System command) to XPPM translation. This is not normally a problem, because the main reason for using XPPM mode is to print preexisting applications and documents that use XPPM commands and strategies (DJDE, JDE, JDL and sometimes Metacode) to provide formatting.

In order to print XPPM documents, the user needs to tell the 5250 ALLY not to send XDPM codes that it normally uses to control formatting. Only one configuration option needs to be set in this situation.

!AGILE!0601=02; Suppress PFSs

It specifies that the 5250 ALLY should not send PFSs to the printer for data received on the twinax address.
