As illustrated above, the key step in the configuration of the 5250 ALLY is
loading the output port configuration appropriate for the attached printer.
Because the printer configuration defines and/or overwrites several
configuration options and PFS/GFID definitions, the user should load the
appropriate output port configuration before changing any of these
parameters.
The user also should be aware that after loading an output port
configuration, or after making any configuration change, the configuration
must be saved to the 5250 ALLY’s flash memory, or the changes will be
only temporary.
