Section 17 Extended IBM Printer Emulation
When printing from an IBM host, the AXIS 5470e allows you to make
use of the following printer functions not found in standard IBM
printers:
• Configuration Mode
• Hex Transparency
• User Defined Strings
• String Substitutions
• Bar Codes
• Font Selection.
This appendix provides a brief overview of some of these functions.
Configuration Mode The Configuration Mode provides a way to configure your AXIS 5470e
from your IBM system. For more information see SNA Parameter
Overview, on page 183.
User Defined Strings The User Definable Strings are a set of 256 programmable sequences.
The UDS are useful for storing long sequences, such as printer
function sequences, within the AXIS 5470e. Each sequence can be
activated by inserting a short control command in your documents.
String Substitutions The String Substitution function searches the output data stream for
specified sequences of AIC characters (Match Strings), and
substitutes them with other sequences (Substitute Strings). Up to 128
pairs of Match/Substitute Strings may be defined.
Note:
AIC (AXIS Internal Codes) are listed in the AXIS Network Print Server Technical
Reference.
