Printer session configuration

Prior to establishing a host system connection, BlueZone users must set Session Configuration parameters. A Session configuration consists of:

  • Selecting a connection type and configuring its connection settings.
  • Selecting a language and configuring the emulation settings.

BlueZone can connect to the mainframe host system in the following ways: Microsoft Host Integration Server, or TN3270/TN3270E. TN3270/TN3270E is the most prevalent type of connection. TN3270E supports both display and printer data streams.

Click Session → Configure from the BlueZone menu bar. The Session Configuration dialog opens. It contains the Connection and 3270 Emulation tabs.
