LU3 Settings Page (Printer Session Properties Dialog Box)

3270

Use this page to configure options that HostExplorer will use for reports that the host computer prints using the LU3 printer protocol.

Note:

The LU3 Settings tab is available only for 3270 terminals.

An LU3 printer is also known as a 3270 printer. LU3 is sometimes used by IBM mainframes, but not by AS/400 hosts.

Double Space Lines—Forces all printed output to be double-spaced. This option treats all linefeeds as double linefeeds.

Print Upper Case Only—Converts all data to uppercase. This option does not affect other special characters or accented characters.

Suppress Initial Form Feed—Enables the system to discard a form feed at the beginning of a job. Many systems include a form feed at the beginning of a job to align the printer. If you are printing using Windows, alignment is automatic and the initial form feed is not required.

Add Blank Page at End of Job—Adds a form feed at the end of a job. If you are printing using Windows, this option may print a blank page. If you are printing directly to LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, or a file, this option adds an ASCII form-feed character to the end of the job.

Always Honor Form Feeds—Enables the program to honor form-feed orders even if the print position is not column 1. When you clear this option, and the print position is not column 1, the program treats form-feed orders as blanks.

Reset Position to Column 1 on Form Feed—Enables the program to reset the print position to column 1 after processing a form-feed order. Normally, a form feed causes a form eject, then moves the print position to column 2.

Note:

If you select this option, your print job may not align correctly.

Print Blank lines If Line is Empty—Enables the program to print a blank line when it encounters lines containing only null characters.

Defaults—Resets all options to their system default.
