Printer Setup and Page Setup

Click Printer Setup to set the printer setup options for the new print bean. You can control the same printer setup options as are available for a 3270 Printer session, including Printer destination (Windows Printer, Other Printer, or File), Printer Definition Tables, and Adobe PDF output for the File destination.

Click Page Setup to set the page setup options for the new print bean. You can control the same page setup options that are available for a 3270 Printer session and that also are appropriate for the 3270 Display datastream (LU2), including Font, treatment of nulls (0x00), and Printer-Font Code Page.

The Printer Setup options and the Page Setup options that you specify for a print bean for the current macro do not affect the printer setup options and page setup options for:
  • A print bean in a macro running on another 3270 Display session.
  • Any ZipPrint in any 3270 Display session.
  • Any File > Print Screen operation in any 3270 Display session.
  • A 3270 Printer session.
However, if your print destination is a Windows printer, and you use the Microsoft Windows Print Setup dialog to make configuration changes to that Windows printer, such as an orientation of Landscape rather than Portrait, then those particular configuration changes affect any Z and I Emulator for Web printing activity that uses that Windows printer, including:
  • A print bean in a macro running on any 3270 Display session.
  • ZipPrint in any 3270 Display session.
  • Printing from any 3270 Printer session.
