Setup Menus, Controls, and Indicators
FF ignored when not in first print position
If you select Yes for this option, a form feed character in the first position or next to the
maximum print position is executed while form feed commands in any other positions
are printed as blank characters and are otherwise ignored.
If you select No (the default) for this option, all form feed commands are executed.
FF takes position if followed by data
If you select Yes for this option, if the form feed character is not at the end of the print
data, a form feed is executed and a blank character is printed in the first position on the
next page. Subsequent printing starts in the second position on the new page.
If you select No (the default) for this option, the form feed character is not printed as a
blank character and subsequent printing starts in the first position on the new page.
FF at end of print
If you select Yes for this option, the printer ejects the last printed page and subsequent
printing begins on the new page.
If you select No (the default) for this option, the last page is not ejected and a line feed is
executed. Subsequent printing begins on the new line of the current page.
Transparent
Note: Check with your system manager before changing this option.
If Transparent is set to Coax (3287 emulation), data included in an SCS Transparent
Mode command (35H) is printed in the LU1 environment as follows:
• Valid EBCDIC characters are translated and printed normally.
• Invalid EBCDIC characters (SNA character string [SCS] commands) are printed as
hyphens.
If Transparent is set to ASCII, all data included in the command is sent through to the
printer untranslated. The following setup values are not sent to the printer during
initialization:
• Chars/Inch
• Lines/Inch
• Quality
To set the Transparent option, highlight Transparent on the Offline Printer menu, then
press the Enter key to toggle between Coax (the default) and ASCII.
