Page B-42

Command:

Transparent (TRN)

Format:

35 nn [data]

Printers:

4214, 5224, 5225

Action:

Causes the printer to enter a transparent printer mode,

where the subsequent nn characters are not checked for

control codes.
This command allows printing of the bit images

previously associated with control characters by the Load

Alternate Characters (LAC) command.
The count parameter, nn, unlike the count parameter for

format commands, does not include the count byte itself.

The count parameter is the count of following bytes not

to be checked for SCS/DCA control codes.

IBMEMUL:

The 5250 ALLY allows data to be sent directly to the

printer (or other output device) with this command.
After receiving the Transparent command, it sends the

following nn bytes directly out the output port.
Unlike the ASCII Transparent (ATRN) mode,

Transparent data is translated before it is sent to the

target printer.
