5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD

2. Quick Setup Guide

Thank you for buying the 5250 Remote Emulator Card. If you are familiar

with emulation equipment, this chapter is designed to help you get up and

running in a short amount of time. It describes how to do the hardware

installation, software installation, and configuration setup in just a few steps

each.

CAUTION!

The 5250 Remote Emulator Card is a static-sensitive device. Keep the

Card in its protective bag until you are ready to install it.

2.1 Unpacking

Check the package your Card was shipped in for water-related or shipping-

related damage; contact the carrier if you find any. The package should

contain the following:

• (1) 5250 Remote Emulator Card

• (1) 3.5" software diskette

• (1) copy of this manual

Keep the original packaging in case you ever have to reship the card. If

your system requires 5 1⁄4" diskettes, contact your supplier.

2.2 Installing the Hardware

1. Turn OFF the PC and any peripherals that might be attached to it.

Unplug the PC’s power cord or power supply from the electrical

outlet and (if possible) from the PC.

CAUTION!

Make sure that the PC is OFF and its power supply is unplugged and (if

possible) its power cord removed before you begin installing the Card

or connecting any of its cables. Don’t turn the PC back ON until you

have completely finished installing the Card and connecting all of its

cables.

5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD

WARNUNG!

Vergewisseren Sie sich, dass die PC ausgeschaltet und die

Netzzuleitung entfernt ist bevor irgendwelche Kabel angeschlossen

werden. Schalten Sie Gerät nicht wieder ein bevor alle Kabel

angeschlossen sind. Zur vollständigen Trennung vom Netz ist der

Netzstecker zu ziehen.

2. Disconnect the PC from its monitor and remove the PC’s cover.

Locate an empty expansion slot and remove the slot’s cover (but keep

the slot cover’s screw close by). Touch a grounded surface, other than

the PC’s chassis to dissipate any static charge you might have built up,

then carefully remove the 5250 Remote Emulator Card from its anti-

static bag.

3. Grasp the 5250 Remote Emulator Card by its edges. If the Card’s

factory-default I/O address 300 to 30F is available in your PC, go to

Step 4. Otherwise, using a screwdriver, set the Card’s DIP switch for an

unused I/O address (see Table 2-1 below).

Table 2-1. Possible Settings of the Card’s DIP Switch

Base I/O Switch-Position Number

Address Used 1234

300 to 30F* ON ON ON ON

310 to 31F ON ON ON OFF

320 to 32F ON ON OFF ON

340 to 34F ON OFF ON ON

350 to 35F ON OFF ON OFF

360 to 36F ON OFF OFF ON

380 to 38F OFF ON ON ON

3A0 to 3AF OFF ON OFF ON

* Factory-default setting

4.Press the card firmly into the expansion slot. Screw the slot cover’s

screw back in.

5.Run the Card’s diagnostic program before you replace the PC’s cover:

a) Plug in the monitor, keyboard, and power without replacing the

PC’s cover, then turn ON the PC. (Be extremely careful while you do

this.)

b) At the first DOS prompt, go to the directory where you have the

5250 Remote Emulator Card’s software stored: Type the diskette-

5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD

drive letter followed by a colon and [ENTER] (if you are keeping it

on a copy of the original diskette) or the hard-disk letter followed

by a colon, a backslash, the subdirectory name, and [ENTER] (if

you’re keeping it on the hard drive).

c) At the next DOS prompt, run the Emulator’s diagnostic program

by typing

emdiag [ENTER]

A copyright screen appears, prompting you to press [ENTER] to

continue. Then a diagnostic screen appears, showing the PC I/O

addresses the Card supports. Use the cursor to highlight the

address you want to test-run, then press [ENTER].

d) If this test fails for the given address, there might be a conflict for

that address that you’re not aware of. Check the address settings of

the PC’s I/O components again, carefully, and try setting the Card

to use a different address. If the test fails for any address you try,

you probably have a bad Card. See Section 9.4.

e) If this test is successful, the program prompts you to let it do a

modem-loopback test. Select “N”; the program ends.

6. Use an appropriate cable to connect the 5250 Remote Emulator Card

to a host’s communication port or to a modem:

For local operation (direct connection to host):

Across EIA RS-232D/CCITT V.24 interface: Cross-pinned DB44

male to DB25 female (product code EHN064-0020);

Across CCITT X.21 interface: Cross-pinned DB44 male to DB15

female (product code EHN063-0020);

Across CCITT V.35 interface: Cross-pinned DB44 male to 34-pin

M-block male (product code EHN065-0020);

For remote operation (connection to host across modem link):

Across EIA RS-232D/CCITT V.24 interface: Straight-through-

pinned DB44 male to DB25 female (product code EHN061-

0020);

Across CCITT X.21 interface: Straight-through-pinned DB44 male

to DB15 female (product code EHN060-0020);

Across CCITT V.35 interface: Straight-through-pinned DB44 male

to 34-pin M-block male (product code EHN062-0020);

7. Remote operation only: Follow the modem manufacturer’s

instructions for installing and configuring the modem to perform

synchronous communication over your type of telephone line.

5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD

8. Now you can replace the PC’s cover, reattach all cables, and power up

any other peripheral you like.

2.3 Installing the Software

diskette included with the Card. (If you are using Microsoft®Windows™,

refer to Sections 5.2 and 7.2 for more information.)

1. If you’re going to keep the Card’s software on diskette, first make a

backup copy of the original diskette and store the original. Then put

the backup diskette into your computer diskette drive, switch to that

drive’s directory, and go to Step 8. If you’re going to keep the Card’s

software on your hard drive, go to Step 2.

2. At the DOS prompt, go to the hard drive’s root directory by typing the

hard-drive letter followed by a colon and [ENTER] (“c: [ENTER]”,

for example).

3. Create a directory at the DOS prompt by typing

md 5251r [ENTER]

4. Insert the 5250 Remote Emulator Card’s software diskette into the

computer’s diskette drive.

5. Assuming the diskette drive is drive a:, copy the software to the new

3. Introduction

3.1 General Overview

Thank you for purchasing a 5250 Remote Emulator Card. We hope that

the Card helps you meet all of your PC-to-twinax connectivity needs.

The 5250 Remote Emulator Card brings the best of the twinax and PC

worlds together by connecting your IBM®AS/400®or System/3X to a PC

either directly or across a phone-line-plus-sync-modem SDLC link. The

Card, which operates in DOS or Windows (under a DOS partition), lets

your PC emulate (act like) any of several controllers or display stations and

lets your PC’s printer emulate several types of system printers. At the time

of this writing, it is the fastest card of its type on the market, capable of

local operation at up to 64 kbps or remote operation at up to 128 kbps. It

emulates a 5394 remote controller, which gives it the capability of working

with PC Support software on the AS/400. The Card has 132-column

capability and supports multiple languages.

3.2 Interfaces Supported

The 5250 Remote Emulator Card supports these three interfaces:

•EIA RS-232D, known internationally as V.24, is a standard for

interfacing Data Terminal Equipment (DTEs) with Data

Communications Equipment (DCEs) over short distances.

•X.21 is a general purpose interface between DTEs and Data-Circuit-

Terminating Equipment (DCTs) for operating on synchronous Public

Data Networks (PDN) that provide dialup and leased-line services for

data communication. X.21 supports transmitting at speeds up to

64 Kbps to a maximum distance of 1000 meters (3280.8 feet).

•V.35 is a high-speed interface. The 5250 Remote Emulator Card

supports V.35 transmission at speeds up to 128 kbps (for remote

applications) or up to 64 kbps (for local applications) to a maximum

distance, depending on your data rate and the type of cable you use,

of 600 to 1200 meters (1968.5 to 3937 feet).

5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD

3.3 The Rest of This Manual

Chapters 4 and 5 of this manual will guide you through step-by-step

installation procedures. Chapter 6 explains how to configure the Card.

Once installed, the 5250 Remote Emulator Card can function without

further operator intervention, but Chapter 7 includes details on all of

the Card's operating functions and Chapter 8 explains the card’s more

advanced features such as record/playback, macros, 3812/5219 printer

emulation, escape commands, and command pass-through. If problems

should arise at any time, Chapter 9 is a troubleshooting guide that might

help you diagnose and possibly fix them.

5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD

4.3 Procedure for Hardware Installation

CAUTION!

The 5250 Remote Emulator Card is static-sensitive. Take the same

precautions you would with any static-sensitive device. One such

precaution is being aware that some elements of your work

environment, such as carpeting, floor mats, dry air from winter heating,

etc., can cause static buildup. To prevent a static discharge, touch a

grounded surface, other than the PC’s chassis, before handling the

Card. Do not touch any components on the Card’s surface, especially

the microprocessor chips; handle the Card by the edges only.

Follow these instructions to install the 5250 Remote Emulator Card in your

PC:

1. Turn OFF and unplug the PC and all devices attached to it.

CAUTION!

Make sure that the PC is OFF and its power supply is unplugged and (if

possible) its power cord removed before you begin installing the Card

or connecting any of its cables. Don’t turn the PC back ON until you

have completely finished installing the Card and connecting all of its

cables.

WARNUNG!

Vergewisseren Sie sich, dass die PC ausgeschaltet und die

Netzzuleitung entfernt ist bevor irgendwelche Kabel angeschlossen

werden. Schalten Sie Gerät nicht wieder ein bevor alle Kabel

angeschlossen sind. Zur vollständigen Trennung vom Netz ist der

Netzstecker zu ziehen.

2. Disconnect the PC from its monitor. If the monitor is sitting on top of

the PC’s case, lift the monitor off and set it aside.

3. Follow the instructions in the PC’s manual for removing the PC’s

cover. Set the cover aside and save the screws for reassembly.

4. Locate an empty expansion slot. Using a screwdriver (or, if necessary,

a socket wrench), remove the slot’s cover. Keep the slot cover’s screw

close by.

5. Touch a grounded surface such as the PC’s chassis to dissipate any

static charge you might have built up, then carefully remove the

5250 Remote Emulator Card from its anti-static bag.

NAME

6. When you install the Card into the PC, it uses one of the PC’s I/O

addresses. The Card is factory-preset to use the base I/O address of

300. Since two cards can’t share the same address (that could cause

the PC to crash), you might need to change the 5250 Remote

Emulator Card’s address setting. If you do have to change this setting,

go to the next step; if you don’t, go to Step 8.

7. Locate the DIP switch in the upper left-hand corner of the Card

(see Figure 4-1 below).

Figure 4-1. Location of the Card’s DIP switch.

Using the screwdriver provided with your Card, set the DIP switch to

select an unused I/O address (see Table 4-1 on the next page). Write

down the address you’ve selected so that you’ll have it handy when

you’re ready to do the software configuration.

8. Hold the card by its edges (do not touch the components or

circuitry), and insert the card into the expansion slot. Firmly press the

card into the PC motherboard’s socket connector. See Figure 4-2 on

the next page.

9. Align the slot on the Card’s bracket with the hole you opened when

you removed the expansion slot’s cover: Gently lift or press down on

the end of the Card opposite the bracket and connector until the slot

and hole are properly lined up. If they are not properly aligned, the

card will not seat correctly in the PC and will not function properly.

10. Insert the screw you removed from the slot cover into the hole on top

of the Card’s bracket. Tighten it to screw down the Card.

5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD

11. Run the Card’s diagnostic program before you replace the PC’s cover:

a) Plug in the monitor, keyboard, and power without replacing the

PC’s cover, then turn ON the PC. (Be extremely careful while you

do this.)

b) At the first DOS prompt, go to the directory where you have the

5250 Remote Emulator Card’s software stored: Type the diskette-

drive letter followed by a colon and [ENTER] (if you are keeping

it on a copy of the original diskette) or the hard-disk letter followed

by a colon, a backslash, the subdirectory name, and [ENTER]

(if you’re keeping it on the hard drive).

c) At the next DOS prompt, run the Emulator’s diagnostic program

by typing

emdiag [ENTER]

A copyright screen appears, prompting you to press [ENTER]

to continue. Then, as shown in Figure 4-3 on the next page, a

diagnostic screen appears, showing the PC I/O addresses the

Card supports. Use the cursor to highlight the address the DIP

switch is set for, then press [ENTER].

d) If this test fails for the given address, there might be a conflict for

that address that you’re not aware of. Check the address settings

of the PC’s I/O components again, carefully, and try setting the

Card’s DIP Switch to a different address. If the test fails for several

addresses, make sure the Card is seated properly. If the test fails for

all the addresses you try, the slot it’s in might be defective; reinstall

the Card in a diferent slot. If all addresses still fail, you probably

have a bad Card. See Section 9.3.

e) If this test is successful, the program prompts you to let it do a

modem-loopback test. Go to the next step.

5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD

12. Use an appropriate cable to connect the 5250 Remote Emulator Card

to a host’s communication port or to a modem:

For local operation (direct connection to host):

Across EIA RS-232D/CCITT V.24 interface: Cross-pinned DB44

male to DB25 female (product code EHN064-0020);

Across CCITT X.21 interface: Cross-pinned DB44 male to DB15

female (product code EHN063-0020);

Across CCITT V.35 interface: Cross-pinned DB44 male to 34-pin

M-block male (product code EHN065-0020);

For remote operation (connection to host across modem link):

Across EIA RS-232D/CCITT V.24 interface: Straight-through-

pinned DB44 male to DB25 female (product code EHN061-

0020);

Across CCITT X.21 interface: Straight-through-pinned DB44 male

to DB15 female (product code EHN060-0020);

Across CCITT V.35 interface: Straight-through-pinned DB44 male

to 34-pin M-block male (product code EHN062-0020);

13. Remote operation only: Follow the modem manufacturer’s

instructions for installing and configuring the modem to perform

synchronous communication over your type of telephone line.

14. Remote operation only: Enter “N” at the prompt to let the Card

initiate its modem-loopback test.

•Status Attributes: Use this option to define how the host system’s status

line is displayed on the PC screen. Move the cursor to Status Attributes

and press [ENTER]. Type in the hexadecimal value corresponding to

your desired display-line status attributes. (If your monitor is a

monochrome model, you can find the list of possible values in Table

6-2; if your monitor is a color model, the possible values are listed in

Table 6-3.)

NOTE

The value you enter here is for the first display session. If you’re using a

color monitor, the software automatically assigns each of the following

sessions the correspondingly preceding character attribute. For

example, if you select red text on a black background (hex value 04) for

the first display session, the second session will have cyan text (03), the

third session green text (02), and so on.

•Field Attributes: Host systems use field attributes to identify different

field types on the display screen. For example, a warning or message

field on the screen might be flashing red, while the normal screen

fields might be green. You can customize these field colors to suit your

tastes or applications. When you select the Field Attributes option, a

window appears on the screen showing the current field attributes

(see Figure 6-8 on the next page and Tables 6-1 through 6-3 on the

To change the field attributes at this screen, take these steps:

1. Find your desired IBM 5250 attribute in Table 6-1 on the next page.

Type in the hex value for that field, then press [ENTER]. A “beep”

will sound if you make an invalid choice.

2. Find the attribute you wish to assign to this field in Table 6-2 (if you

have a monochrome monitor) or 6-3 (if you have a color monitor)

on page 39.

3. Type in this value and press [ENTER]. Notice that the field assumes

the attributes you’ve selected.

4. Continue to change attributes until you’re finished, then follow the

directions on the screen to exit.

•EBCDIC to ASCII: (This option is for advanced users only.) The

character-code set used by the host (EBCDIC) is not compatible with

that used by the PC (ASCII). To let both systems communicate, the

5250 Remote Emulator Card’s software uses an EBCDIC-to-ASCII

translation table.

With this menu option, you can customize the table. For example, to

force the “$” character to display as a “#” character, move the cursor to

the EBCDIC to ASCII option and press [ENTER]. The translation table

will appear. Change the table by first entering the EBCDIC code for a

“$” character, which is 5B (see Appendix A for EBCDIC and ASCII

tables). Second, enter the ASCII code for the character to be displayed;

in this case, the ASCII code for the “#” character is 23.

NOTE

You might need to load a new code page into the PC for the desired

character.

•Cursor Type: Use this option to customize your cursor. Choose

between 1 (blinking block), 2 (blinking overline), 3 (no cursor) or 4

(blinking underline).

•Display Adaptor: Some monitors must change modes to display 132

columns, while other monitors may not support 132-column screens at

all. If your monitor supports 132 columns, you must enter the “AL”

value for the 132-column mode to enable 132-column display. (The AL

value is listed in the video card’s manual as the MODE setting. For

most cards, leave the “BL” value at 00.) Type in this value and press

[ENTER].

1B 26 6C 36 44 Hexadecimal

Type in “05” to tell the software how many characters/codes long

the sequence is, then type in the codes themselves, like this:

05 1B 26 6C 36 44

You don’t have to press [ENTER] when you finish; the software will

automatically advance to the next line. Command-string sequences

can be a maximum of fifteen (“0F”) characters/codes long.

•EBCDIC to ASCII Translation: (This option is for advanced users only.)

The character-code set used by the host (EBCDIC) is not compatible

with that used by the printer (ASCII). To allow both systems to

communicate, the 5250 Remote Emulator Card’s software uses an

EBCDIC-to-ASCII translation table.

With this menu option, you can customize the table. For example,

to force the “$” character to print as a “#” character, move the cursor

to the EBCDIC to ASCII Translation option and press [ENTER].

The translation table will appear. Change the table by first entering

the EBCDIC code for a “$” character, which is 5B (see Appendix B

for EBCDIC and ASCII tables). Second, enter the ASCII code for

the character to be displayed; in this case, the ASCII code for the

“#” character is 23.

•Code Page Selection (4214 only):The default code-page selection is

Code Page 850. If the printer supports it, you can change to Code

Page 437 by pressing [ENTER] at this field and selecting that page.

Refer to the printer’s manual for information about the code page(s)

the printer uses.

NOTE

When you change to Code Page 437, any changes made to the Code

Page 850 character set will be lost, and vice versa.

•CPT Delimiters: The 5250 Remote Emulator Card’s “command pass-

through” feature lets the Card recognize printer-control commands

and transparently pass them through to the printer. A two-character

delimiter (the default setting is “&%”) signals the card to pass the

command through.

Select the new delimiter by typing the corresponding hexadecimal

character codes (refer to Appendix B) in the spaces on the screen.

See Section 8.4.3 for more information on the command pass-through

feature.

5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD

•17 to 15 Pitch Correction: Most PC printers do not support 15-pitch

printing, but host systems use 15 pitch in many applications. If the

printer supports 17 pitch and you would like to print 15 pitch, select

this option by moving the cursor to the option and pressing [ENTER].

You will be prompted for the number of the printer session to modify.

Be aware that your printer might print very slowly in 15 pitch.

You can also be turn this option ON and OFF from the Printer-

Control Screen (see Section 7.6.1).

•Auto Printer Sharing: When Auto Printer Sharing is enabled, you can

print from either the host or the PC. Like pitch correction, you can

turn this option ON and OFF from the Printer-Control Screen (see

Section 7.6.1).

NOTE

DOS print jobs will only print during DOS sessions. If you hotkey to a

host session while printing a DOS job, printing will be suspended until

you return to the DOS session.

•Orientation (3812 only):Use this option to select the default print

orientation. Your choices are Computer Output Reduction (COR),

Portrait, or Landscape. You will be prompted for the number of the

printer session to modify.

•APO (3812 only): Use this option to enable or disable Automatic Page

Orientation. When enabled together with COR orientation (see the

preceding paragraph), landscape orientation will be automatically

selected if the page is wider than it is high. Portrait will be selected if

the paper is higher than it is wide. (See Section 8.2 for more

information.) You will be prompted for the number of the printer

session to modify.

•Paper Size: Use this option to select the size of paper used in the

printer as follows:

Normal: Letter size: 8.5 x 11 in. (216 x 280 mm) or

Legal size: 8.5 x 14 in. (216 x 356 mm)

A4: A4 size: 8.27 x 11.69 in. (210 x 297 mm)

5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD

There are two major hotkey sequences, Direct Access and Round-Robin:

•Direct Access: This key sequence moves directly to a host session.

(To be used, this sequence must be enabled during configuration—

see Section 6.2.2.) For example, to move to host session 1, press and

hold [ALT] and press [1]; to move to session 2, press and hold [ALT]

and press [2], etc. To return to DOS, press and hold [ALT] and press

[0] or [8]. If an unconfigured session is pressed, the next available

session will become active.

[ALT][2]

[ALT][7]

•Round-Robin: This key sequence moves sequentially through the

available sessions as illustrated below. Starting at the current session,

this sequence advances to the highest session and then to DOS. From

DOS, this sequence continues back to the lowest session. (The printer-

control screen is the printer session.) To use this method, press and

hold [ALT] and press [ESC] (or the customized sequence—see

Section 6.3.2).

7.5 Printing

Printing from either DOS or host applications on the attached printer is a

standard feature. To print from DOS, use either the DOS print command

or print through a software program. When printing host jobs, specify the

attached printer’s host ID. This lets the host route the print job to the

proper printer. The system operator will assign an ID to the attached

printer when configuring the printer on the host.

2Section 2 of the Printer-Control Screen shows host- and PC-printer status.

These indicators highlight important information regarding the printer’s

status when it is assigned to either the host or the PC. For descriptions of

these messages, see the “Printer is attached to” paragraph below, Table 7-4

below, and Table 7-5 on the next page.

Printer is attached to: Indicates which system is in control of the printer:

the host, DOS, or auto. When Host is highlighted, print jobs can be sent

from the host to the PC printer. When DOS is highlighted, the printer will

not accept print jobs from the host, but a PC print job can print. When

Auto is highlighted, the 5250 Remote Emulator Card automatically

switches from host to PC printing and vice versa without going back to the

8. Advanced Features

The 5250 Remote Emulator Card has some unique features that come

in handy with certain applications that require extra productivity tools.

These added features include Record/Playback, 3812 printer emulations,

5219 printer emulations, a special command language, and command

pass-through.

8.1 Record/Playback

With the Record/Playback feature, you can record a sequence of

keystrokes and play them back later by pressing only three keys,

which cuts down on repetition.

Use these keys to control the Record/Playback feature:

8.2 3812 Printer Emulation

The 5250 Remote Emulator Card lets a local (attached to the PC) laser

printer that supports HP or PPDS modes emulate the IBM 3812 (non-

IPDS) printer. The 3812 printer provides font-changing capability, text

rotation, compression features called Computer Output Reduction (COR),

and Automatic Page Orientation (APO). The 5250 Remote Emulator

Card’s 3812 printer emulation provides font changes and a true 3812 COR

emulation. It also obeys host commands for duplexing like the IBM 3816

printer.

5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD

The system operator will specify a default font ID when configuring the

3812 address on the host system. The default font ID should be the most

commonly used typestyle. The system operator should select one of the

typestyle numbers from the Typestyle Reference Chart in Appendix C

with an asterisk (*) indicating the default font ID, then change it in the

document, as necessary.

8.2.1 D

ATA

ROCESSING

To change font IDs for a data-processing report, add the font number to

the CL or OCL printer statement (for the System/36, convert the font

number to hexadecimal before adding it to the printer statement). Only

the font IDs marked with an asterisk (*) in the Typestyle Reference Chart

in Appendix C can be used in host-printer statements.

The 3812’s COR feature rotates data-processing reports to landscape

orientation and compresses the text to fit 198 columns x 66 lines on the

page. The steps below describe printing using the COR feature. Refer to

Figure 8-1 on page 66.

1. If a Set Text Orientation (STO) command is specified, the report

prints using the STO command to control orientation in the specified

font. If an STO command is not specified, the report continues to

block 2.

2. If APO is enabled (see Section 6.3.3), the report continues to block 3.

With APO disabled, the report continues to block 4.

3. At block 3, the page size is calculated. If the page size is valid

(8 1/2" x 14" or smaller) the report continues to block 6; the report

prints at block 6 depending upon the page layout. An invalid page size

(larger than 8 1/2" x 14") causes the report to continue to block 4.

4. At block 4, the orientation selected in the configuration program

determines the output. If landscape is selected, the report prints in

landscape using the specified font. If portrait is selected, the report

prints in portrait using the specified font.

5. A COR override from the host determines the report orientation.

Host COR overrides include:

System/36 OCL: Text-Yes or Rotate-0

System/38 CL: PRT QLTY (*STD) or (*NLQ), or PGRTT(0)

AS/400: PRT QLTY (*STD) or (*NLQ) and PAGRTT (*COR)

5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD

A host COR override causes the report to print in portrait with the

selected font. If the host does not override the COR, the report prints

in landscape orientation with the CPI and LPI reduced as shown in

Figure 8-1.

The printer prints a maximum of 182 columns x 64 lines (IBM PPDS

mode) or 198 columns x 66 lines (HP mode) when you use COR to

control the output.

ROCESSING

When the system operator configures the printer on the host, a default

font ID is configured for the printer, which should be the most commonly

used font. The WP program may also have a default font ID. Since the

default font ID can vary depending on the system setup, ask your system

operator if you have questions about the default font ID.

To change the font, either use the font-change commands in the Card’s

command language, or select a font ID number within the word processing

program. Refer to the WP program’s manual for information on changing

font IDs within the program. See Section 8.4.3 for information on font-

change commands for word-processing documents.

The 5250 Remote Emulator Card allows bolding, underlining, and

super/subscripting by recognizing the host commands for these features

in both WP and DP applications. The 5250 Remote Emulator Card uses a

shadow print for bolding, even on small and italic fonts.

8.2.3 P

AGE

ENGTH

The printer prints up to 66 lines at 6 LPI in HP mode (the line spacing

may be compressed slightly to fit), or 64 lines at 6 LPI in IBM PPDS mode,

on each page of 8.5" x 11" letter-size paper. The System/36 only allows

65 lines per page on 8.5" x 11" letter-size paper.

The printer prints up to 72 lines at 6 LPI in HP mode (the line spacing

may be slightly compressed to fit) or 70 lines at 6 LPI in IBM PPDS mode

on each page of 8.27" x 11.69" A4 size paper.

8.2.4 P

Legal Paper: 8.5" x 14" (216 x 356 mm)

A4 Paper: 8.27" x 11.69" (210 x 297 mm)

If you choose any other paper dimensions in the word-processing program,

the 5250 Remote Emulator Card ignores them and uses the previous

paper-size choice. The “No Paper Size” selection uses the paper installed

in the tray, regardless of the paper’s size.

8.2.5 B

ELECTION

The 5250 Remote Emulator Card selects paper from bin 2 only if the

optional paper tray is installed in the printer. If bin 2 or 3 is chosen in a

host document, the printer will print from bin 1 unless the optional paper

tray is installed.

button on the printer’s operator panel to eject the last page.

The System/38 only sends margins and other format specifications to

a printer when they are different from the previous documents or when

the printer has been turned OFF. To choose a different paper size:

1. Select a paper size in the program.

2. Insert paper of the correct size into the printer.

3. Power the printer OFF for about five seconds, then power it back ON

again.

4. Release the job for printing from the host.

5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD

8.3 5219 Printer Emulation

The 5250 Remote Emulator Card’s 5219 emulation is for LaserJet printers.

The HP LaserJet printer file is automatically used when 5219 emulation is

selected.

The 5250 Remote Emulator Card allows bolding, underlining, and

super/subscript by recognizing the host commands for these features

for DP or WP applications. The different character styles and pitch are

controlled through the IBM typestyle number or font ID. The 5250

Remote Emulator Card uses the IBM typestyle number to select an HP font

from a cartridge. The cartridges shown in the Typestyle Reference Chart in

Appendix C are the only fonts supported.

The system operator will specify a default font ID when configuring the

5219 on the host system, which should be the font ID most commonly

used. Select one of the font-ID numbers from the Typestyle Reference

Chart in Appendix C with an asterisk (*) indicating the default font ID,

then change it as necessary in the DP or WP document.

If data-processing reports are sent to the printer, typestyles in the

printer’s CL or OCL statement must be changed.

8.3.1 D

ATA

ROCESSING

Condensed print and “8 lpi” commands do not work in data-processing

documents, because 5219 printers only understand font-ID commands.

For DP documents, such as RPG-generated printouts, the Card uses

the system-default typestyle unless you change the fonts by specifying the

typestyle in the OCL or CL printer statement. Since the host only accepts

certain fonts in OCL and CL statements, you can use only the font IDs

marked with an asterisk (*) from the Typestyle Reference Chart in

Appendix C.

To change typestyles in DisplayWrite/36, use one of the following

commands:

[CMD20], selection No. 1, “Document Option”

[CMD20], selection No. 4, “Display Current Format”

[CMD9], selection No. 7, “Change Font”

See the DisplayWrite®user’s guide for more information on changing

typestyles.

8.3.2 W

ORD

ROCESSING

When you configure a 5219 address on the host, you must select a default

font ID. The normal value is 11 (or 0B in hex), which is a 10-pitch font.

5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD

There are two ways to change fonts for word-processing documents:

either select a typestyle within the word-processing program or use a font-

change command from the Card’s command language in the document.

The word-processing program’s manual should describe how to change

the typestyles within the program.

Some word-processing programs, such as Text Management/38, do not

allow more than one typestyle number per line of text. In such cases, use

the font-change commands in the Card’s command language (see

Section 8.4.1).

8.3.3 P

AGE

ENGTH

The 5219 emulation allows 65 lines per page at 6 LPI for word-processing

documents and 66 lines per page at 6 LPI for data-processing documents.

The HP LaserJet printer allows a maximum of 63 lines per page at 6 LPI.

To print 65 lines, the 5250 Remote Emulator Card increases line spacing

from 6 lines per inch to about 6.25 lines per inch. This small change is

normally not noticeable. A similar small change is made to 8-LPI printing

on 8.5" x 11" letter size paper.

The printer prints up to 72 lines at 6 LPI in HP mode (the line spacing

may be slightly compressed to fit), or 70 lines at 6 LPI in IBM mode, on

each page of 8.27" x 11.69" A4 size paper.

8.3.4 P

APER

IZE

Configure the printer setup on the Card for the paper size used most.

The Card only recognizes these paper sizes:

Letter Paper: 8.5" x 11" (216 x 280 mm)

Legal Paper: 8.5" x 14" (216 x 356 mm)

A4 Paper: 8.27" x 11.69" (210 x 297 mm)

If you choose any other paper dimensions in the word-processing program,

the 5250 Remote Emulator Card ignores them and uses the previous

paper-size choice. The “No Paper Size” selection uses the paper installed in

the tray, regardless of the paper’s size.

Selecting legal or A4 size paper dimensions on the DisplayWrite/36

“Change Page Format” screen causes the LaserJet display window to flash

“Legal Paper.” If the paper dimensions specified are different from letter,

legal, or A4, the paper size is unchanged.

In Text Management/38, the System/38 does not send paper

dimensions to the printer. Instead, it sends a forms message for legal paper

to the controlling workstation assigned to the printer. To change the paper

tray, take these steps:

5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD

1. Insert a paper tray of the proper size and press the printer’s RESET

button.

2. Power the printer OFF and back ON.

3. Release the print job at the host.

The System/38 uses a “Printer Support Facility” that sends the margins

and other document-form specifications to a printer only when these

are different from the previous document or when the printer has been

turned OFF. Either way, the LaserJet must be reset when a different paper

tray is installed.

The line-format screens in DisplayWrite/36 (Command 20) also permit

“Justify,” which aligns the right margin. “One-Half Justify” causes only

one-half as much alignment of the right margin. For best results in using

justification, change the zone width from “6” to “1.”

8.3.5 E

NVELOPE

RINTING

To print envelopes, specify typestyle number 5, landscape orientation, with

the first line of the address on line 30 and a left margin of 55. A trial run

with a blank sheet of paper will often help identify an error in positioning

the address.

Manual Feed: Select the “Envelope Feed” option in the word-processing

program’s paper-feed selections and a paper size of 11" x 11". The printer

will flash “Manual Feed” on the front-panel display window. Manually feed

the envelope into the printer.

Envelope Tray: Select “Envelope Feed” and a paper size of 7.5" or 9.5"

(or 22 cm). The printer automatically finds the envelope tray (if this has

been installed) and prints the envelope.

Envelope Feeder: Select “Envelope Feed” and a paper width of 7.5"

o 9.5" (or 22 cm). The printer automatically finds the envelope feeder

(if this has been installed) and prints the envelope.

NOTE

The LaserJet may eject a blank page when you change print orientation.

8.3.6 D

UPLEX

RINTING

Some LaserJet models can print both simplex (single sided) and duplex

(double sided); for that matter, they can print both long-edge (landscape)

and short-edge (portrait) duplex. However, changing the printer’s

simplex/ duplex mode through its front panel can be time consuming.

Instead, place printing commands on the first line of the document to

control simplex, landscape-duplex, and portrait-duplex printing. Enter one

5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD

of these commands from the Card’s command language on the first line of

the document:

¬D0 for simplex printing

¬D1 for landscape-duplex printing

¬D2 for portrait-duplex printing

If they are not on the first line, the commands will not become active until

the following page. When the printer receives the printing command, it

will do all printing in that mode until another printing command is

received. In other words, if the printer is most often in simplex mode and

is printing in the duplex mode, be sure to put a simplex command at the

end of the document to return the printer to simplex mode. Envelope

printing between documents won’t change the printer’s mode.

On some duplex printing, if the last page is blank on the back side, the

information for the last page may remain in the printer until the next

printing job is received. To print the last page, take the printer off-line by

pressing the ONLINE button, then press the FORM FEED button to print

the last page. Put the printer back on-line by pressing the ONLINE button

again.

NOTE

Duplexing is supported in word-processing applications on the AS/400,

but the AS/400 does not support duplex printing for data processing.

8.4 The Command Language

The 5250 Remote Emulator Card responds to a command language that

consists of special character sequences you can place in your documents.

The Card recognizes these sequences and sends corresponding codes to

the printer to control the printer’s output. You can use these commands in

either data-processing or word-processing documents.

The Card’s command language consists of three types of commands:

font-change commands, escape commands, and command-pass-through

commands. These are described in the next three sections.

8.4.1 F

ONT

-C

HANGE

OMMANDS

To change fonts using font-change commands, type the font-change

command into the document at the place where the font change is to take

effect. The command is immediately active in the document; the Card

prints the specified font until it encounters the next font-change

command.

5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD

For example, when the ProCollection®cartridge is loaded in the printer,

the codes embedded in the following sentence will cause the word “saves”

to print in bold Helvetica®instead of plain Courier:

On screen: Quality ¬Q45 saves ¬Q85 you time and money.

Prints as: Quality saves you time and money.

NOTE

The host may send the original font code to the printer at the beginning

of each page. If this happens, put a font-change command at the

beginning of each page of the document.

If the font-change command changes the pitch, the host may continue

to format each line with the original font-ID pitch. Text Management/38

and some other word-processing programs don’t let you specify more than

one font ID per line.

Font IDs and font-change commands for the fonts and font cartridges

used by the 3812 and 5219 printer emulations are listed in Appendix C.

Format font-change commands this way:

•3812 Printer Emulation: Enter font-change commands for 3812

emulation using the format ¬Qn, where ¬is a “logical not” (Shift 6),

Qindicates a font change, and nis the typestyle number (font ID).

•5219 Printer Emulation: Enter either of two types of font-change

commands that you can use with 5219 emulation:

¬QHLselects fonts from HP font cartridges: ¬is a “logical not” (Shift

6), Qindicates a font change, Hindicates the HP font cartridge, and L

is one or more uppercase letters that indicate a particular font in the

cartridge;

¬QInselects fonts from IBM font cartridges: ¬is a “logical not”

(Shift 6), Qindicates a font change, Iindicates the IBM font cartridge,

and nis the typestyle number (font ID).

SCAPE

OMMANDS

You can also insert commands into your document that perform other

functions, such as enabling true 6-LPI printing, causing the Card to ignore

format commands from the host, and sending the printer an ASCII ESC

command. These commands, shown below, are similar to the font-change

commands.

5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD

Command Function

¬Ex Sends an ASCII ESC command to the printer (HP mode

only).

¬TY Forces true 6-LPI printing (HP mode only).

¬TN Stops forcing true 6-LPI printing (HP mode only).

¬I Makes Card ignore all formatting commands from the host.

¬S Makes Card stop ignoring formatting commands from the

host.

You can send an ESC (escape) print-control command to the printer with

the ¬Ex command (HP mode only); xstands for a sequence of characters

that forms the rest of the command. For example, ¬E(s3B would begin

bold printing; see an HP operator’s manual for a list of the (sXX

commands.

When in HP mode, the printer may compress line spacing to fit 66 lines

onto a page. This might be undesirable at times, especially with preprinted

forms that must align correctly. In these cases, the ¬TY command prevents

the printer from compressing the line spacing, and ¬TN permits it again.

Use the ¬I and ¬S commands to remove unwanted host commands

from a print file. For example, when you print with forms-generating

software, the host recognizes the files as text files and formats them with

unwanted carriage returns and line feeds. Placing the ¬I at the end of a

line and ¬S at the start of the next line causes the 5250 Remote Emulator

Card to remove the host’s carriage returns and line feeds and send only

the data to the printer.

HROUGH

The command-pass-through (hex-transparency) feature gives you access

to all of a printer’s built-in features, even if these features are not normally

available through the host software. With the command-pass-through

feature, you can place printer-specific command sequences into your

document, and the 5250 Remote Emulator Card will recognize the

sequences and “pass the commands through” to the printer. Take these

steps to use this feature:.

1. Find the command (control codes) for your desired print feature

in the printer’s manual.

2. Convert the control codes to hexadecimal.

3. Type the delimiter &% (or any custom delimiter configured as

described in Section 6.3.3) into the document at the point in the text

5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD

where the feature is to take effect. Type in the “turn feature ON”

printer command, then type in the delimiter again. No spaces are

allowed.

4. Move the cursor to the point in the text that you want to end the print

feature. Type in the delimiter, followed by the “turn feature OFF”

printer command, and then the delimiter again. Again, no spaces are

allowed.

For example: If [ESC][E] turns bold printing ON and [ESC][F] turns

bold printing OFF, first convert [ESC][E] to the hexadecimal 1B45

([ESC] = “1B” and [E]= “45”) and [ESC][F] to 1B46. Then insert

the commands into the text like this:

This is a &%1B45&%bold&%1B46&% word.

The above sentence will print on the printer as:

This is a bold word.

NOTES

Spaces are not allowed between the delimiter and the hex code.

Only hexadecimal digits (the numbers 0 through 9 and the letters

A through F) may appear between delimiters.

Errors in the command-pass-through sequence will cause the 5250

Remote Emulator Card to ignore the command and resume printing at

the point the error occurred.

Command pass-through may invalidate horizontal spacing.

9. Troubleshooting

The 5250 Remote Emulator Card is designed for easy installation and

reliable operation. However, as with all electronic equipment, difficulties

can arise. This chapter is intended to help you diagnose and solve these

problems.

When trouble does crop up, the cause frequently turns out to be host

configuration, emulator configuration, or modem settings. The devices

emulated by the 5250 Remote Emulator Card must be recognized by the

host, so make certain the configuration of the emulation software matches

that of the host. Make sure the modem settings match the type of network

the emulator is operating with. If this doesn’t solve the problem, take these

steps:

1. Verify that all of the installation steps have been completed

(see Chapters 4 and 5).

2. Run the Card’s diagnostic program.

3. Write down any error messages displayed or strange system-operating

quirks you observe.

4. Try to find the problem and its solution in Sections 9.1 through 9.3.

5. If you’re still stuck, contact your supplier. Go to Section 9.4.

9.1 Common Concerns

PC does not power ON.

Cause: Power cord not plugged in.

Action: Make sure the power cord is plugged into both the power

outlet and the back of the PC.

Cause: Faulty cord or power outlet.

Action: Try another cord or outlet.

Cause: No power connections inside PC.

Action: Check power connections inside the PC that might have

been disconnected during installation of the 5250 Remote

Emulator Card.

5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD

Graphics characters or blinking characters appear on the screen.

Cause: 5250 Remote Emulator Card not seated properly.

Action: Unplug the PC, open it, and check the installation of the

5250 Remote Emulator Card.

Cause: I/O-address conflict.

Action: Check the addresses of all other cards in the PC (referring

to those cards’ manuals if necessary). If one of the other

cards is using the same address as the 5250 Remote

Emulator Card, you must change one of the two cards’

addresses.

Cause: Cable-address conflict.

Action: Make sure the cable-address settings on the host and

in the 5250 Remote Emulator Card’s software match (see

Section 6.2.1).

Improper keystrokes or no keystrokes appear on the screen.

Cause: PC’s keyboard loose or unplugged.

Action: Make sure the keyboard cable is tightly connected

at both ends.

Cause: Host inhibited.

Action: Check the II indicator on the host session’s status line.

Cause: Wrong keyboard emulation.

Action: Make sure the right keyboard emulation (PC or 5250)

is selected in the 5250 Remote Emulator Card’s

configuration (see Section 6.2.2).

Cursor appears at the top left corner of the screen when emulation starts.

Cause: Invalid station address.

Action: Check the station addresses on the host and in the 5250

Remote Emulator Card’s configuration (see Section 6.2.1).

Cause: Unanswered messages at the host.

Action: Check the host console for unanswered messages.

5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD

Cursor appears at the top right corner of the screen when emulation starts.

Cause: Invalid station address.

Action: Check the station addresses on the host and in the 5250

Remote Emulator Card’s configuration (see Section 6.2.1).

Cause: Damaged cabling or connections.

Action: Make sure that no cables are broken and that all cable

connections are tight. Substitute another cable if necessary.

“Snow” appears on the screen.

Cause: Wrong monitor type.

Action: Select Color (IBM) monitor type in the configuration

program (see Section 6.2.2)

Printer does not work.

Cause: Printer not configured or configured incorrectly.

Action 1: Make sure that the printer emulation matches the

emulation on the host (see Section 6.2.1).

Action 2: Make sure the printer is configured on the host and in the

5250 Remote Emulator Card’s configuration (see

Section 6.3.3).

Cause: Invalid cable address.

Action: Make sure the cable-address settings on the host and in the

5250 Remote Emulator Card’s software match (see

Section 6.2.1).

Cause: Printer is off line.

Action: Make sure the printer is on line and has paper. Send a

print screen from DOS to see if the printer is

communicating with the PC.

No host communication—emulator will not come on line or cannot be

varied on.

Cause: Communication line to/from host not operating properly.

5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD

Action: Contact the system operator; he or she might need to IPL

the host. Make sure the host/modem cable is attached

to the emulator. If you can’t find the problem on the

premises at either end, have the telephone company

check the line.

Cause: SDLC encoding not set properly.

Action: The host’s and emulator’s encoding settings must match:

either both NRZ or both NRZI. If you’re unsure what

the host’s setting is, change this setting on the emulator

(see Section 6.2.4) and try to bring it on line again.

Cause: Either host or Card is configured incorrectly.

Action: Make sure the host is configured for the emulator, that

the emulator address is correct at the host, and that the

host configuration and the local configuration match.

Cause: Modem is not the proper type or is not strapped properly.

Action: Verify that both modems are of the proper type for the

network. Make sure the modems can communicate at the

chosen line speed. Check that the modem is “strapped”

for the network type (half- or full-duplex, etc.). Perform

loopback or end-to-end tests to make sure host-site and

emulator-site modems can communicate with each other.

Cause: Host not varied on or subsystem not started.

Action: Vary on the host as described in Section 7.1. Some hosts

require the line, device(s), and subsystem to be varied on

before the host can communicate. Make sure the

subsystem is started.

After you connect the two modems, or when the Card is directly

connected to a host without modems, DCD and DSR should be lit.

Once the host starts polling, the RX LED should flash. If everything

is configured properly, RTS should light, followed immediately by CTS,

followed immediately by TX.

If DCD and/or DSR are not lit, eiter there is a problem with the

configuration of the modem or CSU/DSU, or the cable between the

emulator and the modem or CSU/DSU is defective.

5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD

To check the cable, remove the cable connections at both ends and

check for bent, broken, or missing pins.

In the modem or CSU/DSU configuration, make sure the DSR (Data Set

Ready) and DCD (Data Carrier Detect) are set to normal operation, not

forced on.

Appendix C: Typestyle (FGID)

Tables

The tables on the following pages list the IBM typestyle numbers (font IDs)

that the 5250 Remote Emulator Card uses to select fonts internal to the

printer and from HP font cartridges. Font-change commands for each font

are also listed (see Section 8.4.1). As on the cartridges themselves,

cartridge fonts are listed in ascending order by pitch.

Typestyle numbers with an asterisk (*) next to them are acceptable IBM

font IDs for device configuration and OCL or CL printer commands (in

hexadecimal). Typestyle numbers in parentheses are alternatives that more

closely match the IBM CPI spacing of the font.

Font-change commands begin with a logical not (¬), which is [UPPER

SHIFT] [6] on U. S. keyboards. The caret (^) symbol may be substituted in

non-U.S. applications.

Remember that you can’t right-justify proportional fonts with the IBM

justify command.

C.1 5219 Emulation

Tables C-1 and C-2 on the next few pages list IBM typestyle numbers (font

IDs) and font-change commands for resident (internal to the printer) HP

LaserJet fonts and HP font cartridges with the 5219 printer emulation.

NOTE

Typestyle number 86 prints the resident 10-CPI Courier font at 12 CPI

spacing in portrait (¬QXM). Typestyle number 85 prints the resident 16-

CPI Line Printer font at 12-CPI spacing in landscape (¬QXN).

Codes

The keyboard diagrams on the next two pages show the four types of

keyboards you will normally encounter in 5250 Remote Emulator Card

applications, along with the factory-default values of their scan codes. You

can change the scan codes that the Card relays from the keyboard

connected to the Card’s PC by using the Scan Code Customize option

under the Advanced Functions—Keyboard menu in the configuration

software (see Section 6.3.2). To make sure which code maps to which

function, see Appendix E.

Appendix E: Keyboard Templates

Table E-1 below gives a general definition for each 5250 (host) key. Use the

table with the keyboard templates on the next eight pages to keep track of

where the functions you need are. There is one keyboard template for

each possible combination of PC Keyboard and Emulated Keyboard (see

Section 6.2.2). In addition, there are two pairs of templates for the

Enhanced keyboard, one for the USA / CAN (ORIG) language and one

for the USA / CAN (TERM) langauge (see Section 6.2.3). (We’ve included

an Emulator Card template with each keyboard template to give you a set

of single-page quick reference guides.)

Use the information in this appendix with that in Appendix D when you

want to customize your keyboard’s scan codes.

Table E-1. Key Functions

5250 Keys Functions of the Keys

[CMD] Causes the host to disregard the normal function

of a repeating key and perform the function

assigned in the host’s program instead.

[DEL] Deletes the character where the cursor is located.

[DUP] Requests that the host program duplicate the data

from the same field in the previous record.

[ERASE INPUT] Erases data entered in all input fields. The cursor

will move to the top left corner of the screen.

[ERROR RESET] Unlocks keyboard after it is locked because of an

error condition. Will also reset the help, insert,

command, and system-request modes.

[FIELD +] Can be used as a field-exit key in all fields.

[FIELD –] Operates much like the [FIELD +] key, but in

signed-numeric and numeric fields only.

[FIELD EXIT] Used to exit fields that are specified in a program

as field-exit required, or as right-justified.

[HELP] Describes the current error condition. The

[ERROR RESET] key will reset the help

message

and error condition to restore the screen and

unlock the keyboard.
