Printer Session Setup Dialog Box (5250 Printer Sessions)

Getting there

Open a 5250 printer session.
From the printer panel, click the Setup button.

The options are:

Character translation

National character set	Determines how host characters (EBCDIC) are mapped to PC characters (ANSI). This setting should match the national character set used by your host system.
Transparent mode	Select this check box for printer-ready documents that require no page formatting. In Transparent mode, all page format settings (Characters per line and Lines per page) are ignored.
Bypass Windows print driver in transparent mode	Select to disable Windows handling of fonts, font size, font style, and lines-per-inch configuration while in Transparent mode.

Flush printing options

Flush when End of Job record received	Select if you want an in-progress print job to close if an end-of-job condition is sent from the host.
Host print timeout for flushing	Specify the number of seconds to wait after the host stops sending data to a printer session before forcing all pending printer output to the printer.

Form feed options

	Emulate form feed with line feed	Select to have InfoConnect simulate a form feed by issuing line feeds until the end of the page is reached.
	Send form feed at end of job	Select to send a form feed at the conclusion of host print jobs.
	Font mapping (button)	Click to open the Fonts dialog box, from which you can map your local printer fonts to typestyle IDs used by a host.
