IBM 3270 Printer Panel

Reflection 3270 printer sessions emulate IBM 3287 printers. Data sent from the host to the printer session is passed on to the local printer.

The following items appear on the 3270 printer panel.

Printer Control

Hold/Enable

Click Hold to stop sending data to the printer. The wordHold appears in the Status box and the Hold button becomes the Enable button. While the printer is on hold, the Reset and Flush buttons become available. To cancel a hold, click Enable.

Cancel

Cancelled is displayed in the Status box.

Reset

After a reset, printing continues (any hold is terminated and the status message becomes Printing.)
