Using 3270 Printers as ASCii Printers
The 3174 allows 3287-class printers to emulate ASCII printers. All ASCII characters
can be printed by the 3270printers supported by the 3174 If they are set up to print
International Alphabet number 1 or 5. The ASCII graphic character set Is a subset
of these code sets. Also, the 3174 supports the basic set of ASCII control codes
shown In Table 2-10.
