Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe -
SCS/TNe Emulation User’s Guide
Getting Started
SCS/TNe in a
LAN
environment
Thank you for purchasing the Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe.
The card provides high quality IBM host connectivity print output.
With the appropriate print server and host software, your printer or
Multifunction Product (MFP) becomes an IBM host workstation
printer capable of printing IPDS or SCS documents from an iSeries,
AS/400, or mainframe. For a more detailed product description, see
“Specifications, Requirements, Features” on page 277.
IMPORTANT:Unless otherwise stated, the term
printer in this manual refers to both printers and
MFPs.
SCS data is received in a LAN environment using the Telnet
extended protocol. The Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe adds support
for the TN3270E and the TN5250E protocols. A correctly configured
printer can receive, process, and print SCS print jobs received over
TCP/IP.
Documentation
Overview This document deals only with setting up and using the SCS/TNe
emulation in the Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe. It will help you to
understand, use, and change option settings for receiving SNA

2Getting Started: Equipment Requirements and Specifications
Character String (SCS) jobs over the LAN and for formatting the
way SCS jobs are printed. Unless otherwise specified, references to
the AS/400 host also cover the iSeries host.
If you need information on the IPDS emulation provided in the
Card, please refer to the separate IPDS Emulation User’s Guide.
Information on how to install the Card is in separate documenta-
tion shipped with your printer.
If you need basic information on your printer and how to use it,
please refer to the printer’s specific documentation.

7Important Configuration Basics: Introduction
Important Configuration Basics
Introduction SCS/TNe MENU options settings can be changed and saved in
three ways:
IMPORTANT:Unless otherwise noted, the term
printer refers to printers and MFPs, and the term
control panel refers to operator panels and touch
screens on these types of products.
•Use the control panel (“Understanding the Control
Panel” on page 10 - which also contains all basic
information on types of settings).
•Work with the settings remotely using a browser
(“Remote Configuration Using a Browser” on page 24
ff.)
•Work with the settings remotely using IDB option
strings (see “IDB Basics” on page 248 ff. and “Addi-
tional TN5250e Printer Commands Using IDB” on
page 260 ff). Using IDB in this way is a highly technical
process used only in connection with configurations
and re-configurations.
Detailed, specialized listings and descriptions of option settings can
be found in:
“Operations Reference - TN3270E SETUP” on page 85 and
“Operations Reference - TN5250E SETUP” on page 155.

8Important Configuration Basics: What are “IDB Options”, “IDB events etc.?
All of these descriptions include the available options and their val-
ues.
What are “IDB
Options”, “IDB
events etc.?
On many of the descriptions you may notice the use of terms like
IDB events, IDB options, IDB values, IDB User Parameters, IDB
Language, etc. Refer to “IDB Basics” on page 248 for additional
information. Note that in most cases, only technical specialists need
to understand and use IDBs.
Setup Options
vs. Printer Setup
Options
Setup Options
Changes to the option settings under the SCS/TNe MENU will only
affect the printing of SCS jobs received through a LAN connection.
These changes will not affect SCS jobs received through a Coax or
Twinax Adapter for SCS, nor will they affect IPDS, PostScript™ or
PCL™ jobs.
The SCS/TNe Emulation user default settings remain in effect until
you save new settings or restore the factory defaults by using one of
the SCSxxxx Defaultsoptions under MENU/Menus > Option Card
Menu > SCS/TNe MENU > TNxxxE STEUP > TEST OPTIONS.
xxxx stands for 3270 or 5250.

9Important Configuration Basics: Setup Options vs. Printer Setup Options
IMPORTANT:
Restoring the factory defaults using the printer
menu Restore Default option does not affect
the SCS/TNe MENU settings.
Settings you choose in the SCS print job may override the user
default settings displayed in the printer operator panel.
This guide discusses setting up the SCS/TNe Emulation and chang-
ing the SCS/TNe Emulation settings.
Printer Setup Options
Changes to printer settings under the various printer menus, such
as Paper Menu and Settings, will affect the way PostScript and PCL
jobs are printed. Many of these printer settings will also affect SCS/
TNe jobs.

10SCS/TNe Options & Operator Panel: Introduction
Understanding the Control Panel
Introduction This chapter introduces the SCS/TNe MENU options as well as
illustrating how how the control panel works. Printers and MFPs dif-
fer, so both operator panels on printers and touch screens on MFPs
are illustrated here.
If you are familiar with the use of the control panel, skip this chapter,
but we recommend familiarizing yourself with the contents of
“Remote Configuration Using a Browser” on page 24 before pro-
ceeding with installation setups.
Descriptions of how to carry out installation setups are found in:
“Installation Setup for Mainframe Users” on page 28 ff. and
“Installation Setup for AS/400 and iSeries Users” on page 55 ff.
Detailed, specialized listings and descriptions of option settings are
found in:
“Operations Reference - TN3270E SETUP” on page 85 and
“Operations Reference - TN5250E SETUP” on page 155.
All descriptions include the available options and their values.

11Understanding the Operator Panel: Printer operator panel
Printer operator
panel Access the SCS/TNe Emulation options and settings from the oper-
ator panel SCS/TNe MENU. To reach the menu:
Accessing the SCS/TNe
menu 1From a Ready status, press the MENU button . on the
operator panel. This opens the menu index in the operator
panel’s screen.
2Use the navigation buttons or to scroll
through the main menus displayed on the screen.
3Each time you press a navigation button, the on-screen
checkmark moves to indicate the choice that will be
active when you select it.
4When the on-screen checkmark is displayed next to the
Option Card Menu, press the Select button .
5Navigate to SCS/TNe MENU, pressing Select when the on-
screen checkmark is displayed next to it.
The same method is used to scroll through lists of menu groups and
options. As you move through the menus, the top line in the screen
shows the menu or menu group name to which the displayed items
belong.

12Understanding the Operator Panel: Printer operator panel
When you select an option, you will always be alowed to scroll
through the list of values presented. Numerical entries can be done
either by scrolling or by using the numeric pad.
Several examples of how to use the operator panel to select and
store new values are shown below. The section “Selecting a New
Value as a Setting” on page 12 shows all details, while the following
two sections discuss slight differences.
User-selected default settings remain in effect until you save new
settings or restore the factory defaults. All saved options become
active on the next host session.
Selecting a New Value as a
Setting To select a new value
1Navigate to the SCS/TNe MENU as explained in “Printer
operator panel” on page 11.
2Use the navigation buttons or to scroll to the
desired menu and press Select.
3Use the navigation buttons to scroll further to reach the item
you need and press the Select button. Navigate in the same
way to the desired value and press the Select button.
