Print Buffers and Forms Control
The Forms Control Buffer for the 3203,3262,3289 Model 4, and 4245, is exactly
like the 3211 Forms Control Buffer.Please note that the FCB loaded in a virtual 3203, 3211, or 3262 should be compatible with the FCB loaded in the real
counterpart.Otherwise, the results can be unpredictable. The 3203 and 3262 use
the Universal CharacterSet (UCS) used by the 1403 Printer.
The3203 and 3262 attach a 64-byte associative field to the end of the UCS to
check, during print line buffer(PLB) loading, that each character loaded into the PLB for printing is also on the print train. The 3203 associative field is exactly like
the 3211 associative field described in Figure 33 on page 287, with the exception
that the addresses begin at240. You also need an associative field when making
use of of theUCC buffer. Refer to your printer's Components Description Manual
for a detailed layout of the associative field.
Buffer images are supplied for theUCS (Universal Character Set) buffer, the UCSB (Universal Character Set Buffer), the FOB (Font Offset Buffer), and the
FCB (Forms Control Buffer). TheVM/SP-supplied buffer images are: UCS - for the 1403 and 3203 Printers
