Introduction

1 Preface
The FSL features are used with SCS or DCA sessions in the Print Server.
The TN3270e or the TN5250e protocols are used for these sessions and the
input and output parameters are selectable via PrintGuide.
The SCS/DCA datastream transforms are add-on features to the standard Print
Server.
NOTE:
As this manual deals only with functions and operations related to the FSL
features, you are referred to the other manuals supplied with the product for
additional information as to the general and advanced operation of the Print
Server.
1.1.1 FSL Features
There are 4 different levels of FSL features depending on the attached host
system and on the type of the attached printer:
− In the IBM 3270 environment the Print Server supports convertion of
SCS datastream received via TN3270e and TCP/IP. The FSL
features depend on whether the connected printer is a PCL5 Laser
printer or a Matrix/Line printer.
− In the IBM 5250 environment the Print Server supports convertion of
SCS/DCA datastream received via TN5250e and TCP/IP. The FSL
features depend on whether the connected printer is a PCL5 Laser
printer or a Matrix/Line printer.
NOTE: The TCP/IP protocol must be installed and configured for Telnet
sessions.
