LINCS Configuration

Printer Buffer Size
This field lets you select an ASCII printer buffer size for local prints, that corresponds with
the mod size of the transmitting coax terminal. Toggle to select one of the following:
Mod 2, Mod 3, Mod 4, or Mod 5.
LU3 Null Suppression
This option suppresses any line that contains only null characters, eliminating an extra line
return. Toggle to ENABLE or DISABLE the feature. The default setting is DISABLE.
Printer Character Set
To enable the use of multiple languages, LINCS supports the 8-bit Multinational Character
Set (MCS) inbound data (keys) and outbound data (displayable characters) and the 7-bit
National Replacement Character Set (NRC) inbound and outbound data. Each device can
use one character set at a time.
Local Print Form Feed
Choose one of the following options:
• None - No automatic form feed will be performed
• Before - A form feed will be done before each local print
• After - A form feed will be done after each local print
• Before and After - A form feed will be done before and after each local print
Count 2nd Transparent Order
Setting this option to Enable causes the secondary transparency start order, stop order, and
data within the order to be counted as positions on a row, which is desirable if the datastream
uses Set Buffer address (SBA) orders, but it means that 80 columns (or 132) are not supported
on the row using the order.
SCS Transparent Data Xlate
This option allows you to determine whether transparent data (control codes, escape codes,
and other non-text related data) transmitted to the printer is converted to ASCII before
transmission. Toggle to select one of the following:
• DISABLE (default) - Select this option if the data to be transmitted is valid ASCII data.
• ENABLE - Select this option if the transparent data must be converted from EBCDIC to
ASCII before transmission.
LU1 Protocol Enveloping
Options are: ENABLE or DISABLE
LU1 Protocol Enveloping is a session protocol for IBM EBCDIC host to ASCII printer character
translation that allows efficient processing. This option is compatible with the IBM 3708
printer’s operation.
