Subject: 5250 printer values for paper source

Ref: RFC 1205, part 8. Enhanced Printer Emulation Support

     I have a question regarding the list of allowable values in the
     tables for IBMPPRSRC1, IBMPPRSRC2 and IBMENVELOPE.  Our experience
     with AS/400 printer emulation for other connection types have found
     useful values which are not widely documented.

     Can someone confirm the values below are supported on TN5250E in
     _addition_ to those it already lists?

     IBMPPRSRC1          HEX
     ------------------------
     *MFRTYPMDL         'FE'x
     *SAME              '00'x
     *A3                '0E'x
     *B4                '0F'x
     *LEDGER            '10'x

     IBMPPRSRC2          HEX
     ------------------------
     *MFRTYPMDL         'FE'x
     *SAME              '00'x
     *CONT80            '07'x
     *CONT132           '08'x
     *A3                '0E'x
     *B4                '0F'x
     *LEDGER            '10'x

     IBMENVELOPE         HEX
     ------------------------
     *MFRTYPMDL         'FE'x
     *SAME              '00'x
     *DL                '0D'x

     If these are accurate, can RFC 1205 kindly be updated to reflect these
     values?  If some of these values are limited to certain OS/400
     releases, then a word to the wise would be appreciated.

     Thanks for your assistance!
