the client for a print job, and indicates to the printer there is no
more data. The null data byte '00'X is optional, and in some cases
may be omitted (in particular, this scenario occurs in DBCS print
streams).
This example would normally follow any number of print records, such
as the example in Figure 4. This indicates successful completion of
a print job. The client normally responds to this null print record
with another print complete record, such as in Figure 5.

Figure 6. Server sending client a null print record
- '0011'X = Logical record length, including this byte
- '12A0'X = GDS LU6.2 header
- '0101'X = Data flow record
- '0A'X = Length of pass-through specific header (LL)
- '0800'X = Last of Chain
- '01'X = Print
- '000000000000'X = Zero pad header to LL specified
- '00'X = Null data byte
11. End-to-End Print Example
The next example shows a full print exchange between a Telnet client
and server for a 526 byte spooled file. Selective translation of the
hexadecimal streams into 1) Telnet negotiations and 2) ASCII/EBCDIC
characters are done to aid readability. Telnet negotiations are
delimited by '(' and ')' parenthesis characters; ASCII/EBCDIC
conversions are bracketed by '|' vertical bar characters.

16. Relation to Other RFC's
UPDATES
This memo is an update to RFC1205 [14], which describes the 5250
Telnet Interface. This update enhances that description to
include device negotiation as well as printer support.
This memo makes use of RFC1572 [13] to enhance communications
with 5250 Telnet clients. RFC1572 is currently on the Standards
Track as a Proposed Standard, and is listed in Assigned Numbers
[19].
