00 — INITIBM

This PFS is empty by default in all printer configurations. Use this to

initialize the printer to a known state for communication with twinax

printer emulation-generated data. For instance, the user can clear the

margins, set movement units, turn off bolding, underlining, scripting,

emphasis, etc.
This PFS is sent to the printer after PFS 01 — INITTWN is sent, if using

IBM emulation mode (!AGILE!03=00;).

01 — INITTWN

This PFS is empty by default in all printer configurations. Use this to

initialize the printer to a known state for communication with input on the

twinax address. For instance, the user can clear the margins, set movement

units, turn off bolding, underlining, scripting, emphasis, etc.
This PFS is sent to the printer when the 5250 ALLY first receives data

from the twinax host, regardless of the setting of Option 03 — Mode.

04 — INITALT

This PFS is empty by default in all printer configurations. Use this to

initialize the printer to a known state for communication with input from

the alternate host (the only PFS used with the alternate host). For instance,

the user can clear the margins, set movement units, turn off bolding,

underlining, scripting, emphasis, etc.
This PFS is sent to the printer when the 5250 ALLY first receives data

from the alternate host.

05 — INIT275

This PFS is empty by default in all printer configurations. Use this to

initialize the printer to a known state for communication with the twinax

host when the 5250 ALLY is in Xerox 275 twinax protocol converter

emulation mode. For instance, the user can clear the margins, set

movement units, turn off bolding, underlining, scripting, emphasis, etc.
This PFS is sent to the printer after PFS 01 — INITTWN is sent, if the

5250 ALLY is in Xerox 275 twinax protocol converter emulation mode

(!AGILE!03=02;).
