Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe -

SCS/TNe Emulation User’s Guide

Getting Started

SCS/TNe in a

LAN

environment

Thank you for purchasing the Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe.

The card provides high quality IBM host connectivity print output.

With the appropriate print server and host software, your printer or

Multifunction Product (MFP) becomes an IBM host workstation

printer capable of printing IPDS or SCS documents from an iSeries,

AS/400, or mainframe. For a more detailed product description, see

“Specifications, Requirements, Features” on page 277.

IMPORTANT:Unless otherwise stated, the term

printer in this manual refers to both printers and

MFPs.

SCS data is received in a LAN environment using the Telnet

extended protocol. The Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe adds support

for the TN3270E and the TN5250E protocols. A correctly configured

printer can receive, process, and print SCS print jobs received over

TCP/IP.

Documentation

Overview This document deals only with setting up and using the SCS/TNe

emulation in the Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe. It will help you to

understand, use, and change option settings for receiving SNA

2Getting Started: Equipment Requirements and Specifications

Character String (SCS) jobs over the LAN and for formatting the

way SCS jobs are printed. Unless otherwise specified, references to

the AS/400 host also cover the iSeries host.

Card, please refer to the separate IPDS Emulation User’s Guide.

Information on how to install the Card is in separate documenta-

7Important Configuration Basics: Introduction

Important Configuration Basics

Introduction SCS/TNe MENU options settings can be changed and saved in

three ways:

IMPORTANT:Unless otherwise noted, the term

printer refers to printers and MFPs, and the term

control panel refers to operator panels and touch

screens on these types of products.

•Use the control panel (“Understanding the Control

Panel” on page 10 - which also contains all basic

information on types of settings).

•Work with the settings remotely using a browser

(“Remote Configuration Using a Browser” on page 24

ff.)

•Work with the settings remotely using IDB option

strings (see “IDB Basics” on page 248 ff. and “Addi-

tional TN5250e Printer Commands Using IDB” on

page 260 ff). Using IDB in this way is a highly technical

process used only in connection with configurations

and re-configurations.

Detailed, specialized listings and descriptions of option settings can

be found in:

“Operations Reference - TN3270E SETUP” on page 85 and

“Operations Reference - TN5250E SETUP” on page 155.

8Important Configuration Basics: What are “IDB Options”, “IDB events etc.?

All of these descriptions include the available options and their val-

ues.

What are “IDB

Options”, “IDB

events etc.?

On many of the descriptions you may notice the use of terms like

IDB events, IDB options, IDB values, IDB User Parameters, IDB

Language, etc. Refer to “IDB Basics” on page 248 for additional

information. Note that in most cases, only technical specialists need

to understand and use IDBs.

Setup Options

vs. Printer Setup

Options

Setup Options

Changes to the option settings under the SCS/TNe MENU will only

affect the printing of SCS jobs received through a LAN connection.

These changes will not affect SCS jobs received through a Coax or

Twinax Adapter for SCS, nor will they affect IPDS, PostScript™ or

PCL™ jobs.

The SCS/TNe Emulation user default settings remain in effect until

you save new settings or restore the factory defaults by using one of

the SCSxxxx Defaultsoptions under MENU/Menus > Option Card

Menu > SCS/TNe MENU > TNxxxE STEUP > TEST OPTIONS.

xxxx stands for 3270 or 5250.

9Important Configuration Basics: Setup Options vs. Printer Setup Options

IMPORTANT:

Restoring the factory defaults using the printer

menu Restore Default option does not affect

the SCS/TNe MENU settings.

Settings you choose in the SCS print job may override the user

default settings displayed in the printer operator panel.

This guide discusses setting up the SCS/TNe Emulation and chang-

ing the SCS/TNe Emulation settings.

Printer Setup Options

Changes to printer settings under the various printer menus, such

as Paper Menu and Settings, will affect the way PostScript and PCL

jobs are printed. Many of these printer settings will also affect SCS/

TNe jobs.

10SCS/TNe Options & Operator Panel: Introduction

Understanding the Control Panel

Introduction This chapter introduces the SCS/TNe MENU options as well as

illustrating how how the control panel works. Printers and MFPs dif-

fer, so both operator panels on printers and touch screens on MFPs

are illustrated here.

If you are familiar with the use of the control panel, skip this chapter,

but we recommend familiarizing yourself with the contents of

“Remote Configuration Using a Browser” on page 24 before pro-

ceeding with installation setups.

Descriptions of how to carry out installation setups are found in:

“Installation Setup for Mainframe Users” on page 28 ff. and

“Installation Setup for AS/400 and iSeries Users” on page 55 ff.

Detailed, specialized listings and descriptions of option settings are

found in:

“Operations Reference - TN3270E SETUP” on page 85 and

“Operations Reference - TN5250E SETUP” on page 155.

All descriptions include the available options and their values.

12Understanding the Operator Panel: Printer operator panel

When you select an option, you will always be alowed to scroll

through the list of values presented. Numerical entries can be done

either by scrolling or by using the numeric pad.

Several examples of how to use the operator panel to select and

store new values are shown below. The section “Selecting a New

Value as a Setting” on page 12 shows all details, while the following

two sections discuss slight differences.

User-selected default settings remain in effect until you save new

settings or restore the factory defaults. All saved options become

active on the next host session.

Selecting a New Value as a
