Using the Printer InterfaceUsing the Printer InterfaceHost Print Transform, also known as the "Transform" feature in iSeries printer files and device descriptions, is similar to SCS ASCII Transparent Printing in that the target ASCII printer is controlled directly by the host print job. The data and the control characters are on the host in ASCII or are converted to ASCII prior to sending the them to the printer. Therefore, no EBCDIC to ASCII conversion is required.
Settings required in the Print Setup property sheet (choose File:Print Setup from the MenuBar) necessary to properly configure the BlueZone Printer emulator for this feature.
Go to the Passthrough tab, check the Send all Data Directly to the Printer check box.
Also on the Passthrough tab, un-check the Use Printer Definition to Convert Formatting Commands to Printer Escapes check box. Checking this will result in unpredictable behavior.
Select a target printer, the Use default Windows Printer check box, or Print to File.
If auto creating the
device or toggling Host Print Transform
from the emulator, click the TN5250E
button 
(located at the bottom of the property sheet), to
open the TN5250E Properties dialog,
and check the
Host Print Transform check box
and specify a printer Manufacturer Type
and Model as specified by the
iSeries. (example *HP4).
CAUTION!
You must include the asterisk in the name of the printer (*HP4).
Set the Custom Name, Custom Library, Formfeed and Paper options as needed.
Settings that are have no affect once the Mandatory Emulator Settings are made.
All settings are ignored except those specified because the emulation is completely bypassed.
