This task allows the user to link to:

Ticketing printers
Itinerary printers
Itinerary/electronic ticket-supporting printer (Galileo only)
Blank ticket/stock printer for printability
Satellite printer
Accounting (MIR) printer

It allows the user to delink from all printers, or from a ticket, itinerary, MIR device, or satellite printer, only.

Transaction Name:

TicketPrinterLinkage_1_0

Can any other transaction(s) perform this same task?

No other transaction can perform this task.

Can this task be performed in a sessionless environment?

This task must be used in a sessioned environment.

Are the request and response identical on both the Apollo and Galileo systems? If

There is a minor difference between the response on Apollo and Galileo.

On Galileo, for the Italian BSP, the stock number and STP are sent in the response.

List any industry-specific knowledge required to understand this task in terms of the specific business process.

Knowledge to add a printer in the AAT and various formats to link different printer types.

Explain any special limits or distinct restrictions to the input data that may not be readily apparent.

Should be able to link to MIR device.

Request:

Unless otherwise specified, use ALL CAPS in any request data.

The <LinkageUpdateMods> tag (Data Record 4068) needs to be used to request an update to Printer Linkage.

The <PrinterParameters> tag is sent when linking the printer. This includes the printer details i.e. LNIATA, mode, type etc.
The<DelinkModifier> tag is sent when de-linking the printers. This includes the details of the delink modifier.

Prerequisite tasks:

No prerequisite tasks are required.

Expected response:

If the Update Printer Linkage transaction completes successfully, it will return the <PrinterParameters> tag with the printer details, i.e. LNIATA, mode, type etc. and the <LNIATAInfo> tag with the terminal GTID, respectively. When no printer is left to delink then only the <LNIATAInfo> tag is returned.

Error and warning responses:

If the Update Printer Linkage transaction encounters an error, it will be in EROR KLR. The following error messages may be received:

Additional Printer Linkage capabilities:

Printer linkage allows you to link a terminal to the following devices:

Ticketing printer (HMLMF52303DT—where F52303 is the device name)
Itinerary printer (HMLMF52302DI)
Itinerary/electronic ticket-supporting printer (Galileo specific—HMLMF52303DIE)
Blank ticket/stock printer for printability (HMLMF52305DX)
Satellite printer (HMLMF01979DS)
Host printer
Accounting (MIR) printer (HMLMF7203DA)
Telex device

You can link multiple devices (up to three) or link devices one at a time. After a printer device is linked, it stays linked even when a user signs off for the day. Devices must be manually delinked (HMLM/DELINK), one at a time or in multiples.

Available devices are preset by Galileo International in the AAT table, based on the equipment at a company. If you try to link to a device that does not exist in the ATT table, the following text displays: INVLD LNIATA. Contact the Galileo International Support Desk to get the appropriate device added to the ATT table.

Additionally, you can perform the following:

Form Feed the printer two times for mailing labels (HMOMF3102E-2) - note: for Apollo Only
Reset the printer after form feeding for mailing labels (HMOMF3102E-0) - note: for Apollo Only
