Customizing 3270 Emulation
Customizing Sessions
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 “Output to” parameter, the TN3270
emulation program uses this application to filter the
printer output before sending it to the printer or file. If
you selected “Unformatted print to file,” the filter
application is used to check the data, but the output is
not filtered. Use the filter application to process the file
before printing it.
Printer output is handled differently by different
operating systems. Your TN3270 product supplier can
provide you with information about how to use the
“Printer or file name” and “Printer filter file name”
fields.
The following push buttons are available on the Customize Printer
parameters for SESSnn dialog box:

Choose <OK> to confirm your choices.
<Cancel>
Choose <Cancel> to abandon any changes to this
dialog and retain existing settings.
The “Session ID,” “Host Screens Suppressed at Startup,” “Model Type,”
and “Maximum Structured Field Size” parameters in this dialog box are
not selectable because they do not apply to printer sessions.
