SCS Debug Trace IMPORTANT: Unless you have a computer running a capture program attached to the selected port to receive the trace data, the printer will remain Ready and may not complete establishing a session with the host. The trace function traces all input (EBCDIC) and output (ASCII) data. The trace menu option allows you to enable tracing and choose where the trace data should be sent. Because tracing will decrease printing performance, it should only be enabled when needed by service personnel for troubleshooting and service. NOTE: If the SCS/TNe Emulation is set to make an IDB dump when this option is enabled (&%IDB_PRINT or &%IDB_PRINT_FULL command), then the IDB dump is ignored and NOT produced. The trace function also overrides the SCS3270 Hex Dump and SCS5250 Hex Dump options. NOTE: If the Download Font (IDB Option 244) option is Enabled on a TN5250e session, the fonts will be output in the trace data before the job is processed. This decreases trace performance significantly. It is recommended to set the Download Font (IDB Option 244) option to Disabled when performing a trace. Operations - Common Setup: SCS Debug Trace 82
