This method is for activating host device printing--at the time of this writing, this is only for TN5250 terminals with the Printer feature active for terminal emulation licenses.
The device emulated is a IBM-3812-1 and will be associated with a started 5250 terminal session, using this command. Only one printer can be started for a active display session.
bool HostConnection.startDevicePrinter([optional] String deviceID, String fileType ); |
Arguments
HostConnection
Required. HostConnection object.
deviceID
| Optional. | The deviceID to be registered with the AS400 / IBMi host -- using the RFC 4777 titled IBM's iSeries Telnet Enhancements (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4777). If this value is omitted, the active deviceID for the display session will have a PRT appended as the device name. |
fileType
| Optional (required with deviceID). | A supported fileType -- at the time of this writing, this is limited to "htm" for an HTML-based print. Future options are expected to include "pdf" for a PDF print, and "pcl" for use with an AS400 *HP4 style or other PCL-based transparent output to be converted to PDF using an external utility. |
envVars
| Optional | Telnet Environment Variables for a TN5250 printer of the format NAME:VALUE;[...] as documented in RFC 2877 Section 7. |
Remarks
The device emulated is a IBM-3812-1 for 5250 and IBM-3287-1 for 3270 and will be associated with a started terminal session, using this command. Only one printer can be started for a active display session.
