The Wyse60 terminal allows the host to set the number of lines to display. For 42 lines the host sends \033e*, and for 43 lines the host sends \033e+. TinyTERM versions prior to 4.20 do not respond to these escape sequences. There is no patch. You must use a newer version of TinyTERM to fix this.

CR 102, fixed in TinyTERM 4.20.

When using Wyse60 emulation in TinyTERM 4.42, printing the screen comes out fine. Transparent print jobs do not.

The Wyse60 emulation allows you to define up to three local printers. You can see these by going to the File menu and selecting Extra Printers. The above problem happens when the wrong printer gets chosen.

We have a patch for this issue. Download it to your PC, then do the following:

1. Locate the existing CenTE.ocx file. This should be in the folder C:\Program Files\Century\TinyTERM.
2. Rename that file as a backup to CenTE.OLD.
3. Copy the file cr696CenTE.ocx into the same directory as CenTE.OLD.
4. Rename cr696CenTE.ocx to CenTE.ocx.

The next time you start TinyTERM, the patch will be in effect.

CR 696, fixed in TinyTERM 4.43

TinyTERM 4.40 added an Extra Printers option to the File menu. With that capability, if you’re using SCOANSI emulation, you can select between up to six printers. Wyse60 allows up to three printers. No other emulation can take advantage of these for transparent printing.

Printer number 1 is still configured through the Printer Setup option on TinyTERM’s File menu. Printers 2 through 6 are configured through the Extra Printers submenu.

In either emulation, it’s based on the “print on” sequence sent by the host. The default “print on” sequences for each, the one used by TinyTERM’s File | Print Setup settings, are listed below. <Esc> is the escape character, ASCII 27:

SCOANSI: <Esc>[5i
Wyse60: <Esc>d0#

To access the extra printers, add two for each to the SCOANSI “print on” code:

Printer 2: <Esc>[7i
Printer 3: <Esc>[9i
etc.

For Wyse60, only the first two extra printers are available, making three total. For each of those, just add one to the “print on” code:

Printer 2: <Esc>d1#
Printer 3: <Esc>d2#

You can then use <Esc>d# to access the current printer in Wyse60, using the digit again only if you need to change the printer. If you haven’t selected a printer yet using any of the “print on” codes listed above, <Esc>d# will automatically select printer 1 as the default printer.

Regardless of which printer you use, the “print off” sequence is the same, based on the emulation:

SCOANSI: <Esc>[4i
Wyse60: ^T

That’s Ctrl-T, ASCII value 20, for Wyse60.

Each printer can have different settings, of course. So the host can select between multiple printers, or one printer with multiple settings.

CR 210, Wyse60
CR 580, SCOANSI

The “print on” code for Wyse50 emulation is ^X. That’s the same code used to end a file transfer in the ZMODEM and WTERMCRC protocols.

To avoid problems, use a different file transfer protocol with Wyse50. Or use a different emulation with ZMODEM and WTERMCRC. Either solution will work.

The Wyse50 and Wyse60 terminals have several status lines, lines of text separate from the main screen at the top and bottom. There are both standard and extended lines at the top of the screen, and shifted and unshifted label lines at the bottom. TinyTERM currently supports only the unshifted label line.
