Although a page-mode printer is capable of printing either output type, a line-mode printer cannot process page-mode data.

A 3800-3 (which is an AFP printer) when running in compatibility mode is functionally equivalent to 3800-1 printers (which are line-mode printers). You need define no special address spaces or have any other special considerations when running a 3800-3 in compatibility mode. JES2 supports a 3800-3 running in compatibility mode as if it were a 3800-1. Figure 1 provides an example of the JES2 initialization statements required to support a 3800-3 in either full-function or compatibility-mode.
