LINESPEED
WORDLEN
PARITY
STOPBITS

*NO: The printer is physically attached to the ASCII work station controller.

EMLASCII
Specifies, for ASCII devices, whether the device being configured is emulating a supported ASCII device type (TYPE parameter). When an ASCII device is configured, choices for the following parameters are restricted to the valid range for that device:

ATTACH
LINESPEED
WORDLEN
PARITY
STOPBITS

These restrictions may not apply to ASCII devices emulating supported ASCII device types because the emulating device may have a wider range of choices for these parameters than the emulated ASCII device.

When EMLASCII(*YES) is specified, these parameter restrictions are not enforced. The user is allowed to enter the full range of values for these parameters, but is also responsible for verifying that the values selected are valid for the device being configured.

*NO: The device being configured is one of the supported ASCII device types (identified by the TYPE parameter). Therefore, the device-specific restrictions for the physical attachment, line speed, word length, and stop bits parameters are enforced.

*YES: The device being configured is emulating one of the supported ASCII device types (identified by the TYPE parameter), and the device-specific restrictions for the physical attachment, line speed, word length, and stop bits parameters are not enforced.

ATTACH
Specifies, for ASCII printers, the physical attachment of the printer to the ASCII work station controller:

  • If AUXPRT(*YES) is specified, then the printer is an auxiliary printer, and the physical attachment specified is the attachment between the ASCII display station and the ASCII work station controller.
  • If AUXPRT(*NO) is specified, then the physical attachment specified is the attachment between the printer and the ASCII work station controller.

This is a required parameter for ASCII device types.

*EIA422: The EIA-422 attachment is used. This value is valid only for auxiliary printers and the following printers, which support *EIA422 for both auxiliary and non-auxiliary attachments:
