I-Data 5250 ALLY - Manual (Page 177)

Page A-15 APPENDIX A — INTERFACING XEROX PRINTERS
Auto PFS suppression: This option causes the 5250 ALLY automatically
to suppress all PFSs except the INIT, CR, LF and FF PFSs at the beginning
of an XDPM print job. The XDPM job is delimited by one of the job start
commands: s+Pd, s+Qd, s+Md, or s+Nd. This
setting is useful only for XDPM data streams.
Suppress PFSs: This option causes the 5250 ALLY to suppress all PFSs for
the data streams received on the twinax address. This allows the data
stream to format the page without conflicts from System formatting
requests. This option is useful for XPPM data streams. If the twinax
address is receiving XPPM data to be sent to a printer in XPPM mode, this
option should be set.
Suppress PFSs except bold and underline: This option is identical to
Suppress, except that the BOLD ON, BOLDOFF, BSBOLD1, BSBOLD2,
UNDL ON and UNDLOFF PFSs are not suppressed.
Auto PFS suppression except bold and underline: This option is identical
to Auto PFS suppression, except that the BOLD ON, BOLDOFF,
BSBOLD1, BSBOLD2, UNDL ON and UNDLOFF PFSs are also not
suppressed.
To program this option:
!AGILE!0601=00; Do not suppress PFSs
!AGILE!0601=01; Auto PFS suppression (default)
!AGILE!0601=02; Suppress PFSs
!AGILE!0601=03; Suppress PFSs except bold and underline
!AGILE!0601=04; Auto PFS suppression except bold and underline
0602 — Form Feed Suppression
The Form Feed suppression option can be useful for either XDPM or
XPPM mode data streams, although it is probably most useful for XDPM
mode. This option specifies how the 5250 ALLY will suppress Form
Feeds. When Form Feed suppression is active, the 5250 ALLY will not
send the FF PFS to the printer.
Do not suppress Form Feeds: This option tell the 5250 ALLY not to
suppress the FF PFS. This means that Form Feeds received for this twinax
address will be sent to the printer normally.
Auto Form Feed suppression: This option tells the 5250 ALLY to suppress
the FF PFS automatically after receiving an XDPM job start command.
These commands are: s+Pd, s+Qd, s+Md and s+Nd.
Form feed suppression will continue until the XDPM job end command is
received: s+Xd. This setting is useful only for XDPM data streams.
