Use one of the following methods to send a spooled file to the

Enter the LPR command on the iSeries command line with
the appropriate parameters. See “To Use LPR Manually”
on page 229.

Enter STRRMTWTR name on the iSeries command line,
where name is the name of the iSeries remote output

iSeries ASCII Troubleshooting

During power up, the printer performs an interface hardware test.
The presence of the ETHERNET PARAMS menu selection at the
printer control panel indicates that the Ethernet Interface hardware
is functioning properly. See the

User's Manual for configuration

menu information.

If you have trouble pinging the printer:

1.

Verify the configuration of the iSeries, including the printer and
any intervening devices such as routers and bridges.

2.

Verify that the iSeries line description is varied on and the
printer is turned on and displays an ONLINE status.

3.

Verify that the iSeries TCP/IP is active.
