General Usage Instructions

 Logging In  

Click the "Start Emulator" button on the main page
At the prompt, enter your user ID and password and click OK
If your ID and password are correct
- the BNSF Emulator Java applet will start
If your ID and Password are incorrect
- you will be requested to re-enter them and try again

Once Emulator Has Started  

Proceed as though on a normal mainframe terminal or emulation
If you see a CICS logon screen instead of the standard BNSF VTAM greeting screen, click the Clear button and type "cesf logoff" and press the "Enter" key to return to the greeting screen.

To start additional Emulators, click the "New Default 3270 Session" button (visible in the browser screen) or select New from the Emulator File menu

To quit the Emulator, logoff the mainframe normally, then select Exit from the Emulator File menu

Printing  

To print the content of the emulator screen, select Print Screen from the File menu. The system Print Dialog will appear. From this dialog, start the print job as you normally would from any other application. (i.e. Click the OK button)

Alternate Printing Method
If the Print Screen menu item is disabled, you will have to print using another method. First you must copy an image of the screen (ALT+Print Screen) and then Paste that image into an application that will print. This will be a true copy of what you see on the emulator. The image will have a black background which may be hard to read when printed
