control characters) to the printer, and finally conversion of this data by the printer (according to the printer

language).

Establishing the connection

Before a dialog can commence with the printer controller, a logical connection must be established between RSO

and the printer (definition of the communication attributes of the two partners).

In order to access the printer, RSO must know the communication attributes of the partner. The RSO access

modes

are used for this purpose. The RSO access mode actually serves a dual purpose in that it describes the

communication attributes of the partner (for estab-lishing the logical connection) and simultaneously defines

which

"header" (printer control protocol) must be prefixed to each message to the printer (for the printer controller

dialog).

It is absolutely essential for operation of the printer that the RSO access mode definition for the printer match

the definition of the printer in PDN (applicable to printers accessed via TRANSDATA-NEA). RSO currently

supports

the following different access modes:

1. HARDCOPY

2. HARDCOPY-9751

3. DIRECT

– with BAM converter

– with HDLC-AFP converter

4. HDLC

5. APPLICATION

6. PC

7. TACLAN

K.6 What is the maximum number of partner gateways in Xprint ?

There is no limit fixed by Xprint.

But if you prefer not to have to many gateways objects, you can define several hosts in the same partner

gateway.

Metacharacters as "*" can be used with the option " -oh hosts-name* ", as it is the case for the WPRINT gateway

partner.
