This chapter describes 5250 Configuration File Options, while Chapter 6 describes the configuration file options which are common for VT and 5250.
WTn configuration file is a text file containing the configuration values for WTn options and several keyboard sequences generated by the terminal. Some of these values can be dynamically modified by the Host system. The name of this file is always "_WTn52.Cfg". It's recommended to modify it only with IniEditor, an application included in the installation procedure.
WTn configuration file is a "Windows dot-ini-Like" text file which includes:
The lines in the configuration file must be: Printer Header, Comments, Sections, Keys + Values or empty lines.
Sections group the option keys and values. Section names are in capital
letters and between square brackets. e.g.: [TELNET], denotes the Telnet section.
The order of the sections in the file is not relevant.
Keys are keywords that make sense only inside their own section, so they can't be moved from one section to another. Using lowercase or uppercase is not relevant for keywords, but it may be useful to make them more readable. Keys must be followed by "=" sign and the value of the parameter, e.g. LocalBeeps=Yes.
Values follow the keys and the "=" sign. Each parameter expects the value in a fixed format (indicated with the parameter definition in the form "<format>"). Values may be empty in some cases.
Formats are:
<Yes/No>
Needs a Yes or No value.
<string / xxxx>
Text ASCII characters, delimited or not by the " (inverted commas) character. If the
string is delimited by ", the spaces (20h) are preserved, otherwise
they are ignored. xxxx indicates the units or the meaning of the value.
<hex-string>
On this format, three characters represent one final character.
There are three ways to supply "hex-strings" (each target character takes
always 3 source characters):
| Mnemonic | Format | Description |
|---|---|---|
| "Escaped" | "/HH" | A slash ("/" or "\") and a two-digits hexadecimal value, e.g. \1B for character 27. |
| "Numeric" | "999" | Three decimal digits, e.g. 065 for character "A". |
| "Alphabetic" | "..A" | Two dots and one alphabetic character, e.g. ..X for character "X". |
Hex-strings may be delimited by " to be more readable.
<num / xxxx>
Decimal numeric value (0 - 9). xxxx indicates the units or the meaning of the
value.
<word>
Hexadecimal value, four-digits. E.g.: A50F.
<uppercase letter>
A single uppercase character. E.g.: N.

This section allows to send data to an attached printer, via display screen
commands, following the "Print Display Data" process described below:
If On, WTn looks for StartPrintId in the display
area at IDRow and IDCol position.
If found, the text between StartPrintId and StopPrintId
(or end of screen) is sent to the serial printer attached to the terminal
(following printer configuration).
The whole text to print on a label must fit in a single screen.
The following conversions are performed:
On=No
Does not perform "Print Display Data" processing.
StartPrintId=<string / pattern>
Pattern to match when printing data ("PRN:"). Start print tag. The data between start and stop print tags are sent to the
printer.
StopPrintId=<string / pattern>
Pattern to match when printing data (":PRN"). Stop print tag. The data between start and stop print tags are sent to the
printer.
IDRow=<number / row>
Row where to look for the start print ID.
Start at 1.
IDCol=<number / column>
Column where to look for the start print ID.
Start at 1.
NullToSpace=Yes
Performs null to space conversion before performing the EBCDIC to ASCII
conversion.
If Yes, the null characters are sent to the printer as spaces.
If No, the null characters are not sent.
EscapeChar=<hexstring / character>
ASCII character to look for in printer stream to perform character conversions.
For no "escape" conversion, use 000 or /00.
The character following the "EscapeChar" is converted to a control
character and sent to the printer, following the syntax detailed below:
<EscapeChar><Char to Convert>
<Char to Convert> should not be equal to <EscapeChar>.
The character following EscapeChar (Char to Convert) is converted
into ASCII and then into a "control character" by subtracting 64.
"\@"=0x00,"\A"=0x01, "\B"=0x02,
"\C"=0x03, ..., "\Z"=0x1A, "\["=0x1B,
"\]"=1D, "\^"=0x1E, "\_"=0x1F,
"\`"=0x20, "\a"=0x21, "\b"=0x22, ...,
"\z"=0x3A.
<EscapeChar><EscapeChar>
To send an "EscapeChar", print it twice (the escape char is sent 1
time).
"\\"=0x5C.
<EscapeChar><#><99>
If the character following EscapeChar is "#", the two hex-digits (0 -
F) are converted into a single hex character of control.
"\#1C"=0x1C, "\#00"=0x00, "\#FF"=0xFF.
For characters over 0x7F, check if the serial link to the printer is configured in 8 bits mode.
This section allows to map a keystroke scan code into another. Use this feature to translate data keys.
--- To change a scan code into another:
1) Go to (CONFIGURE)/(Keyboard Test) menu.
2) Press the KEY and get the four digits Scan Code.
3) Set the scan code for the desired FUNCTION on this configuration file.
4) Download the configuration file to the terminal.
MapX=<scancodes / scancodes>
Couple of Scan Codes (separated by /).
To map "." dot as "," comma set Map00=002E/002C.
