Issuing a Host Download Command.
The following steps describe how to enter a Host Download Command.
1. Type the Command Pass-Thru (CPT) delimiter &% (or the alternate CPT start delimiter) in the
document, program, report, or on the screen at the point where the command is to take effect.
2. Type an upper case Z.
3. Type the command number for the command to be used, as shown in the table below. Always use
two digits for the command number (i.e. &%Z05,1).
4. Type a comma.
5. Type the value representing the desired selection. No spaces are allowed. A space or invalid
character in a command causes the I-O 5250 printer emulation module to ignore the command and
resume printing from the point the error occurred.
6. A space or control character (i.e. NL, FF, CR, LF) signals the end of the Host Download command.
7. Multiple commands can be chained together by using a slash (/) or backslash (\) to separate the
commands (no spaces are allowed).
For example, to set the Default Print Quality (Command 22) to NLQ (Value 1), Draft Printing
(Command 23) to Fast Draft (Value 1), and the Wrap/Truncate Text selection (Command 26) to
Truncate (Value 1), type:
&%Z22,1/Z23,1/Z26,1.
