Print Screen Setup

The Print Screen Setup window controls Print Screen, Host Initiated Local Copy, and Screen Collection functions.

The Print Screen Setup window appears in two different contexts:

Session configuration:
You are configuring a 3270 Display session, 5250 Display session, VT Display session, or CICS Gateway session; the session's Java level is configured to Java 2; and you click Screen > Print Screen > Print Screen Setup (Java 2).
Runtime:
You are running a 3270 Display session, 5250 Display session, VT Display session, or CICS Gateway session; you are using either a Java 1 or a Java 2-enabled browser; and you click File > Print Screen Setup.

The selections on the Print Screen Setup window:

Affect both Print Screen and Print Screen Collection (but not ZipPrint), if you are running or configuring a 3270 Display session.
Affect only Print Screen, if you are running or configuring a 5250 Display session a VT Display session, or a CICS Gateway session; (Print Screen Collection and ZipPrint are not available in these types of session.)

If you are configuring a session, then the options you choose become the default options for the user, which the user can override at runtime (unless you Lock the options in the session configuration).

If you are running a session, Print Screen is affected the next time you actually print the screen (File > Print Screen). Print Screen Collection is affected the next time you actually initiate the printing of an image or images from the stored list (for example, Print Screen Collection > Print and Delete Collection).

Use Java print mode (Yes or No)

This pair of radio buttons appears only if you are configuring or running a 3270 Display session. (In contrast, if you are configuring or running a 5250 Display session, VT Display session, or CICS Gateway session, then the print mode is always Java print mode and you cannot change the print mode.)

Select Yes to use Java print mode or No to use non-Java print mode. For more information about these print modes see Non-Java print mode and Java print mode.

If are configuring or running a 3270 Display session and you select No (non-Java print mode), then the rest of the options on the Print Screen Setup window are disabled. To configure page setup and printer setup for non-Java print mode, start the session and click File > Printer Setup or File > Page Setup.

If are configuring or running a 3270 Display session and you select Yes (Java print mode), or if you are configuring or running a 5250 Display session, VT Display Session, or CICS Gateway session (which use only Java print mode), then the rest of the options on the Print Screen Setup window are enabled.

Enable host initiated screen copy (Yes or No)

This pair of radio buttons appears only if you are configuring or running a 3270 Display session.

Select Yes to enable host initiated screen copy. The destination of the copy is determined by the Print Screen settings.

When you are connected to a TN3270 server, host initiated screen copy requests are always honored. When connected to a TN3270E server, this request is only granted if the host request (WCC print bit) is between the BIND and UNBIND commands (LU-LU session). Please refer to the IBM 3270 Data Stream documentation for further details.
If a TN3270E session connection is disrupted and re-established, the host initiated screen copy will not be honored until the next BIND is received.

Select No to disable host initiated screen copy. This is the default.

Header

Use these options to include a page header in the printed output.

Place
Expand the listbox and select one of the following:
- Left (aligned with the left page margin)
- Right (aligned with the right page margin)
- Centered

Text
Type the text that you want to be used for the page header. You can use special character sequences to include the time, date, and other information in the text of the header (see Special character sequences for headers and footers).

Footer

Use these options to include a page footer in the printed output.

Place
Expand the listbox and select one of the following:
- Left (aligned with the left page margin)
- Right (aligned with the right page margin)
- Centered

Text
Type the text that you want to be used for the page footer. You can use special character sequences to include the time, date, and other information in the text of the footer (see Special character sequences for headers and footers).

Special character sequences for headers and footers

Use the special character sequences in the table below to include the time, the date, the page number, or certain characters in headers and footers.

Character	Printed Result
`&d` or `&D`	The current date. The date format depends on your NLS locale. (For example, the date format for the en_US locale is `dd-mm-yy`.)
`&t` or `&T`	The current time. The time format depends on your NLS locale. (For example, the date format for the en_US locale is `hh:mm:ss` `AM`/`PM`.)
`&p` or `&P`	The current page number.
`&n` or `&N`	The newline character. This is especially useful for creating space between the header and screen image.
`&&`	The ampersand (&) character.

Color Printing

Use these options to use color printing.

Print in Color (Yes or No)

Select Yes to enable color printing.

Print background color
For 3270, 5250, and CICS sessions, expand the listbox and select one of the following:

No - Do NOT print any background color, only foreground color will be printed.
Yes (except screen background) - Print the background only if it is NOT the same as the screen background color
Yes (All) - Print all the background colors including the screen background

On 3270 Sessions, the print in color is only available when 'Use Java Print Mode' is set to Yes.
Regardless of whether the Active Field is set to be highlighted, it will not be printed in the color that is defined for the active field. It will be printed as if the active field was turned off.

No - Do NOT print any background color, only foreground color will be printed.
Yes (except screen background) - Print the background only if it is NOT the same as the Normal background color
Yes (All) - Print all the background colors including the Normal background

Normal background is defined to be the background color of the Normal character attribute background color.

Suppress print dialog when printing

If you click Yes, then when you initiate a print in Java print mode (such as Print > Screen), Host On-Demand does not display the system printer configuration window (such as, for example, the Print window on a workstation running Windows) but instead immediately launches the print operation.

If you click No, then Host On-Demand displays the system printer configuration window each time you initiate a print.

Use Multiple Print Screen Per Page*

Selecting this option allows you to print more than one screen per page. For example, two or four screens per page. If the page size cannot accomodate the number of screens chosen, an error will occur.

Page Setup

Click Page Setup to display the Page Setup window (see Page Setup (Java print mode)).

Printer

Click Printer to display the system printer configuration window.
