Printing
You can use Personal Communications to print from display or printer sessions:
- From display sessions, you can print all (Print
Screen) or part (Trim Print) of the screen
of your session window on a workstation printer.
To print only part of the session window, drag the mouse to create a trimming rectangle around the part of the window you want to print and then select Print Screen from the File menu.
- With printer sessions, you can print files directly from a host
system to a workstation printer. Refer to the online help for more information.
Configure a printer session to designate a workstation printer as a system printer that will use either the printer definition tables (PDTs) provided with Personal Communications or the Windows printer drivers. Refer to the online help for more information.
To print, the following methods apply:
- You can use Windows printer drivers that you configure through the session File → Printer Setup menu.
- You can use printer definition tables (PDTs), which give greater control over the print data stream.
- For 5250 only: You can use Host Print Transform, where the host formats and builds the printer commands.
