3203 Model 5 Printer Support The 3203 Model 5 printer is a channel attached version of the 3203 "odel 4 printer. VM/370 supports the new model in the same way that it supports the Model 4 Note that the DEVTYPE=3203 and BODEL=5 operands of the RDEVICE macro instruction must be specified to generate support of the device.

3800 Printing Subsystem Support VM/370 Release 6 supports the 3800 printing subsystem which is a high speed, non-impact, general purpose printer that uses electrophotographic and laser technology to achieve printing speeds up to 20,040 lines of copy per minute. The following features highlight the 3800 printer: • FORMS CONTROL permits the user to select the amount of vertical space between printed lines. Lines can be vertically spaced 6, 8, or 12 lines per inch. Different spacings can be mixed on the same page except in the case when the 3800 printer is used as a spooling device. • FORMS OVERLAY permits photographing of predefined data (forms) on one or more pages. The 3800 printer supports the creation of a form on a page and the immediate printing of data on that form. • PREDEFINED CHARACTER SETS permit the user to select predefined character sets that contain up to 64 characters each. Different character sets can provide different character types and sizes, and horizontal spacings between characters. The 3800 printer supports the simultaneous use of two character sets and optionally supports the use of two additional character sets. The user can mix characters from different character sets on a single page. These characters are referenced within the 3800 printer through the use of translate tables. Up to four translate tables may be loaded at any one time. • CHARACTER SET MODIFICATION permits the user to modify and/or extend character sets. • COpy MODIFICATION permits the printing of predefined data (for example, printing the same header on each page) or the suppression of printing of selected data. • PRINTING MULTIPLE COPIES permits multiple copies of files and datasets to be printed and/or collated without the use of multiple-ply paper. Multiple copies of a single 3800 buffer load can also be printed .. DEDICATED 3800 PRINTER SUPPORT '8/370 allows virtual machines, including virtual V8/370, to attach the 3800 Frinter as a I/O device. When attached, the full cafability of the 3800 is available to the virtual machine. All the functions previously described are available when the 3800 is used as a dedicated device. Support for the 3800 printer is generated by the RDEVICE macro instruction which defines the 3800 device at system generation time. SUPPORT OF THE 3800 AS A REAL V"/370 SPOOLING DEVICE Virtual machines can print spool files on the 3800 printer. With two exceptions, all previously mentioned features are supported. These two exceptions are the use of more than one translate table for printing a Section 1. summary of Changes to the V!j370 System 1-7
