This panel displays all the print jobs queued to LINCS printer devices. If the optional update
parameter ( ,u ) is entered, any of the buffered prints can be deleted. If the update parameter is
not entered, only those print jobs queued by your device can be deleted.
Buffered Prints Delete
Using the cursor control keys to position the cursor over an N in the column labeled ‘Delete?’
and then entering a Y, will cause the queued print jobs listed to the left of the Y to be deleted
after the PF10 key is pressed. More than one N may be changed to a Y before pressing the
PF10 key.
Display/Update HAP Session Status
Some terminal types support Host Addressable Printing (HAP), which allows the printer
attached to your terminal to be used as a system printer.
Display/Update HAP Session Status allows you to enable or disable a HAP session for your
terminal’s printer. Using this utility you can override the configuration of the HAP Status at
IML set during configuration (on the Device Profile/Display panel). ASCII displays require
this utility to update their HAP session status, but coax displays can update HAP status using
the display’s setup mode.
When you enter the HAP Session Status utility, LINCS will tell you whether the current HAP
session is enabled as a printer or display. You can change the HAP status from printer to
display, or display to printer. The change will take effect when you Power On/Reset the
display. You need at least two sessions configured for your device to change a session.
You should configure LINCS so that a printer LU will be assigned to the HAP session when
the display PORs. The end user should follow these guidelines when updating the HAP session,
to ensure reconnection to the proper type LU:
Changing from printer to display
After PORing the display to apply the change, swap to the HAP session and disconnect from
the printer LU (using EXSEL-D). Once disconnected, connect the display session to the
desired host resource.
Changing from display to printer
Prior to PORing the display to apply the change, swap to the HAP session and disconnect
from the display LU. Then POR the display, and the correct LU will be assigned to the HAP
connection.
HAP Supported Terminals
Printers attached to a 3472-type display station can be addressed by the host and can perform
host addressable prints.
The following ASCII display stations support a printer for both local screen printing and host
addressable printing:
• ADDs Viewpoint A2
• DEC VT100, VT241
• IBM 3151, 3161, 3162, 3163, and 3164
• IBM File Transfer and Terminal Emulator Program (FTTERM)
• Lear Siegler color and monochrome, ADM 11, ADM 12, 1178
• TeleVideo 970
