The functions of MT9750 Print functions
3.4 MT9750 print functions
MT9750 emulates the bypass and hardcopy print functions of the 9750. You can
also use the Windows Copy function which copies the contents selected in the
session window to the local printer. Further on in this section you will find more
information in this regard.
3.4.1 Bypass print
Bypass printing denotes the output of host data to a printer connected to a data
display terminal. The BS2000 Remote Spool Output (RSO) spool system is
generally used to do this. The data is output to the printer connected to the data
display terminal without being displayed on the screen. When bypass printing
with the emulation, you have the option of buffering the print data in one or more
files.
3.4.2 Hardcopy print
Hardcopy refers to the printout of the current session window. The hardcopy
size (number of rows and columns) is not based on the size of the current ses-
sion screen visible, but the actual number of rows and columns in the session
as well as the position of the cursor.
You have the option of printing the output to a local printer connected to a PC
or to a file.
Hardcopies can be initiated in one of two ways:
– Manually, by pressing a hardcopy key or the mouse
– Program-controlled, by entering a corresponding key sequence
The programmed hardcopy is initiated by the BS2000 host. The message trans-
ferred is displayed on the data display terminal and once transfer is complete,
the print job is started or it is rerouted to a file. Keyboard input is not possible
until print output is complete.
With manual printing, the print job is initiated by a key. Here the keyboard
also remains locked until print output is complete.
