Customizing 3270 Emulation
Customizing Sessions
The size of the data buffer to be used for file transfers
on this session. In general, a larger size speeds up the
file transfer process. However, some hosts do not accept
larger sizes; check this value with your host personnel
or System Administrator.
An entry in this field is required. Specify a value (in
KB) between 1 and 32. The default is 2. This field is not
selectable if a file transfer is in progress on the session.
Local copy done to
Specifies how local copies are printed. A local copy is a
printout of the contents of your display, created when

The local copy is written to a file as formatted data
(processed by the filter application, specified in the
Printer filter file name parameter).
“Unformatted print to file”
The local copy is written to a file as unformatted data
(the filter application is used only to check the data).
Append (not overwrite) file
If you selected either “Formatted print to file” or
“Unformatted print to file” for the previous parameter,
either mark this check box to specify that print output
is to be added to the end of the file, or leave the check
box unmarked to overwrite the contents of the file.
Printer or file name
The name of the printer (for example, lp) or file (up to
64 characters including the directory path) to which
print output is to be directed.
Printer filter file name
The name of the printer filter application (up to 64
characters including the directory path) to use for
processing the print output.
If you selected “Real printer” or “Formatted print to
file” in the “Local copy done to” parameter, the
emulator uses this application to filter the printer
output before sending it to the printer or file. If you
