Dascom TallyCom III Installation & Operators Guide - Manual (Page 17)

When you have specified settings for these functions, you must save them in the permanent memory
with ESC X1 command, turn printer power off for approx. 10 seconds and then back on again.
Note: If the Printserver is connected directly to an IBM 4331 or 4361, the buffer size of 1920
characters (Function Y1=2) should be specified, due to a hardware restriction on the mainframe.
5.2.4 IBM RPQ Settings
The Functions Y25 to Y33 are similar to the RPQs you can order for an IBM 3287 or IBM 3268 printer
as shown in the following table. On the IBM 4214, you may set the options from the front panel.
The charts below show the correspondence between interface functions and IBM RPQ numbers.
Function no. 3287 RPQs 3268 RPQs 4214 RPQs
25 N/A*) N/A N/A
26 SC3750 SC9508 Opt. 20=3

IBM RPQ Settings. *) N/A: Not Applicable
If formatting problems occur at the initial installation of the Printserver, these problems may be solved
by selecting the settings matching the appropriate IBM RPQs. However, as the RPQ settings interact
to a great extent, it is recommended that you contact your distributor for details.
5.2.5 IRQ Time
IRQ (Intervention Required) is a 3270 command which signals to the host that action is required at the
printer (paper out, paper jam, etc.).
Function Y46, IRQ Time, allows you to adjust the time it takes from the occurrence of an error until a
sense code 0820000 is sent to the host. IRQ may also be disabled completely, but this is not
recommended.
5.3 Form Feed (FF Handling)
In SCS mode, the Form Length may be set from the host system or the form length set in Function Y5
will be used.
Note: The SCS command will override Function Y5, Form Length.
In non-SCS mode, the Form Length set in function Y5 will be used.
If function Y11, Paper Path, is set to 1 then the form length defined is downloaded to the printer.
If function Y11 is set to a value other than 1, the form length 127 lines will be downloaded to the
printer.
Please see the functions Y5 and Y11 for further information.
