TITLE   :SNA Server SCS Print Emulation Enhanced For S/36 Systems
PRODUCT :Microsoft SNA Server
PROD/VER:WINDOWS:4.0SP2
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:kbsna400sp3fea kbFEA

======================================================================

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft SNA Server, version 4.0SP2 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY
=======

The SNA Server Print Server was originally designed to emulate simple line
printers when communicating with IBM S/36 systems. This prevented some
applications (such as DisplayWrite/36) from printing correctly through the SNA
Server Print Server.

An update to the SNA Print Server is now available for SNA Server 4.0 (Post SP2)
systems to support these additional SCS command codes:

 - Required New Line (X'06')

 - Backspace (X'16')

 - Horizontal Tab (X'05')

 - Set Indent Level (X'20D20307..')

 - Indent Tab (X'39')

 - Required Form Feed (X'3A')

 - Set Horizontal Tabs (X'2BD2nn01..')

 - Set Single Line Distance (X'2BD20415idid')

 - Set Initial Conditions (X'2BD20345')

 - Substitute (X'3F')

 - Set Page Presentation Media (X'2BD2nn48')

These codes were added to support a customer's requirement for printing their
DisplayWrite/36 documents using the SNA Print Server. Note that this is only a
subset of the SCS command codes supported by IBM 5224, 5256, 5219 and 3812
printers.

NOTE: This enhancement was not intended to be used with AS/400 systems, because
advanced AS/400 printing functions are supported through the SNA Print Server by
enabling the AS/400 Host Print Transform (HPT) option. But, HPT is not available
on a S/36.
