5 Special FSL Functions
This section covers the special FSL features for the Printserver. The FSL functions are covered in
groups according to their tasks.
5.1 Twinax FSL Functions
5.1.1 IBM 5250 Related Functions
The following functions are normally found on the front panel of the IBM Twinax printers. These
functions are also found on the front panel on your printer. It is possible to change their value for the
Printserver using either the printer front panel or using FSL under host control:
• Function Y2: Lines per inch (LPI):6 and 8 LPI
• Function Y3: Characters per inch (CPI): 10, 12, 15 or 16.7 CPI, and CPI controlled by the
front panel
• Function Y5: Form length: Form length is downloaded to the printer. The function results in
last Line Feed being sent as a Form Feed
• Function Y9: Default Print Quality.
5.1.2 Page Presentation Media Command
This is an IBM command used to select print quality, feed device and font selection.
• Function Y9, Quality, is used to select current and default font under the PPM.
• Function Y11, Paper Path, is used to define the default paper path.
5.2 Coax FSL Functions
5.2.1 IBM 3270 Related Functions
This chapter describes those FSL Functions specifically related to the requirements of the IBM 3270
system; i.e.:
• SCS command related Functions
• Functions which need to be stored and where powering off and on the Printserver is needed
to inform the controller about the functionality
• IBM
RPQs
• Intervention Required Timer (IRQ).
Some of the 3270 related functions are normally controlled from the front panel on an IBM 3268/87 or
an IBM 4214 printer. On the IBM 3287/3268/4214 printers it is also possible to change the following
front panel settings via the line (in LU1 mode only).
• Lines per inch (LPI): 3, 4, 6 or 8 LPI
• Characters per inch (CPI): 10, 12, 15, 16.7 CPI
• Maximum Page Length (MPL)
• Maximum Print Position (MPP)
