Printer Nodes Only

In the case of printer nodes, the following logical-unit-profile-1 primary-data-stream flags are set by byte 5 (relative to 1) of the PSERVIC operand:

X'80'

Full base set data stream can be sent. This must be set if the printer is to be supported as an SCS printer (LU type 1). Otherwise, the printer is supported as a 3270 data stream printer (LU type 3).

X'40'

Horizontal-format data stream (SHF) can be sent. This must be set to support the optional print-position indexing byte in an FCB image, or to support MPP = 220 on 3268 printers.

X'20'

Vertical-format data stream (SVF) can be sent. This must be set to let
CA Spool automatically set the maximum page length in accordance with the page length in the FCB image.

X'08'

Set-line-density data stream (SLD) can be sent. This must be set to let
CA Spool automatically set the lines-per-inch parameter in accordance with the lines-per-inch byte in the FCB image.

X'02'

Bell-control code (BEL) can be sent. This must be set if the audible alarm on the printer must be activated when CA Spool messages are written to the printer.
