4: .SH NAME
5: em328x \- 328x Printer Emulator
6: .SH SYNOPSIS
7: .I
8: em328x [hostname]
9: .SH DESCRIPTION
10: The
11: .I em328x
12: utility is used to emulate the functions
13: possible on a synchronous printer such as the IBM 3284, 3286, or 3288.
14: The
15: .I hostname
16: parameter is used to specify the
17: control unit interface to be emulated; with the appropriate binary
18: synchronous driver and corresponding information in the host parameter
19: file, a 3284/3271, 3286/3271, 3287/3271, or 3288/3271 environment
20: can be emulated.
21: .P
22: The printer type may be specified in the configuration file
23: .I (PTYPE=printertype),
24: or the default printer type, 4 (3284) may be used.
25: For more information on printer types
26: see the reference list at the end of this document.
27: .P
28: If a direct connection to the host is available, the connection
29: will be immediate.
30: Once the connection is made, the printer will generally behave as
31: would a 328x printer, with output going to a print spooler or file as
32: specified in the configuration file.

44: .SH DIAGNOSTICS
45: .TP
46: em3280 <host>: can't open host configuration file <filename>.
47: The configuration file for this host couldn't be opened.
48: Either the host name is incorrect, or the modes for the host configuration
49: file could be wrong. Processing aborted.
50: .TP
51: em3280 <host>: <devname> cannot be opened for communications.
52: The communications device <devname> for the specified
53: host could not be opened. Either the mode is set wrong, or some other
54: process has the device open. Processing aborted.
55: .TP
56: em3280 <host>: unrecognized keyword, line <l> in <filename>.
57: While reading the host configuration file <filename>,
58: an unrecognized keyword was found on line <l>. Probably a typographical
59: error. Processing aborted.
60: .TP
61: em3280 <host>: invalid parameter for keyword <k> in <filename>.
62: While reading the host configuration file <filename>,
63: keyword <k> was found to have an invalid parameter. Probably a typographical
64: error, but it is also possible that the given parameter was out of
65: range. Processing aborted.
66: .TP
67: em3280 <host>: device <devname> reports modem failure.
68: The named device reported a transmit timeout error. The usual reason
69: for this is that the device did not get a transmit clock signal from
70: the modem. This could be due to improper modem option specification,
71: improper cable to the modem from the computer system, or to not having
72: jumpered the MODEM port for external timing. Transmission is
73: aborted.
74: .TP
75: em3280 <host>: <program> not found or not executable.
76: While attempting to spawn <program> to receive printed data, an error
77: was encountered. Check the program name and permissions on the file.
78: Printer data will be discarded until another special function command
79: for the printer corrects the problem.
