tnAssociation

This parameter is used with IBM 3270 terminal and printer sessions only. Use this parameter to associate a 3270 terminal session with a specific 3270 printer session (this feature applies to the Telnet Extended transport).

NOTE:The tnAssociation parameter is valid only when the tn3270eConnectType parameter is set to 0.

When associating a 3270 terminal session with a 3270 printer session, use the tnAssociation parameter to assign a unique TN association string in the terminal session. Reflection uses this value to automatically link the two sessions when the same value is used in the printer session for the tnAssociation parameter, the tn3270eConnectType parameter is set to 0, and the promptForDevicename parameter is set to false.

For information about linking 3270 terminal and printer sessions from within a session, open the online help in the emulator session. Then, under How To, go to Using TN Association in the Print section.

Note that both the terminal session and the printer session must be running in the same type of browser (for example, Internet Explorer) for TN association to work. A terminal session running in Internet Explorer and a printer session running in Firefox cannot be associated. (However, the sessions are not required to run in the same browser window.)
