If the printer attached to the 5250 ALLY is among the supported printer

configurations in the 5250 ALLY flash memory (see below), configuring

the output port can be as simple as loading the appropriate configuration.

Loading a printer configuration sets the appropriate timing and loads the

appropriate format, translation and PFS/GFID information.
Once the configuration is loaded, the timing, printer error timeout period,

format information, translation tables, PFSs and GFIDs may be modified

by the user. Do not modify any output port settings before loading a printer

configuration, because loading a configuration will overwrite all output

port settings.
If the user’s printer configuration is not among those in the 5250 ALLY

flash memory, the user should load the configuration named Generic. If

this configuration does not work properly with the user’s printer, either a

configuration will have to be built from scratch, or Generic or another

configuration file will have to be modified by the user.
