Page B-31APPENDIX B — SCS/DCA COMMAND SUMMARY
IBMEMUL: Same as IBM, except that the OPTIMA will perform
COR even if it has been disallowed with this command.
The OPTIMA uses the fc and sd parameters to select a
source paper drawer simply by adding two (2) to the sd
parameter if a forms-type of envelope (fc=02h) is
requested. The OPTIMA recognizes up to four source
drawers on the target printer called PAPER 1, PAPER 2,
PAPER 3 and ENVELOP. On systems that restrict the
source drawer number to less than 3, access to the third
and fourth drawers can be accomplished by selecting a
forms-type of envelope (fc=02h).
The OPTIMA will send one of the PFSs PPAPER1>,
PPAPER2>, PPAPER3>, P ENVEL>, LPAPER1>,
LPAPER2>, LPAPER3>, L ENVEL> at the beginning
of each page. For target printers that force a page eject
when a paper source is selected, it may be necessary to
delete the PFS FF> and rely on these PFSs to perform
form feeding. For printers that do not force a page eject
when selecting a source drawer, the FF> PFS should be
left unmodified (usually containing only 0Ch).
Although source drawer 4 is called ENVELOP, there is no
reason that this drawer needs to contain envelopes.
Similarly, there is no reason that PAPER 1, PAPER 2
and PAPER 3 need to hold paper.
The PFS JOGOUT> is sent to the target printer by the
OPTIMA at the beginning of each page that requires an
output tray offset (jog), either because the do parameter
was non-zero or because the dd parameter was changed
from the last setting.
The JOGOUT> PFS is also sent to the printer if the Set
Initial Conditions (SIC) command specifies the Data
Processing (DP) initial condition set. This is the same as
the 3812.
The OPTIMA supports dd (destination drawer)
parameters of 00h (no change), and the range of 01h
through 03h. One of the PFSs DEST1>, DEST2> or
DEST3> is sent to the target printer at the beginning of
each page. These PFSs can be used to select a destination
(output) drawer.
