Verify Printing On AS/400

This section verifies that the printer is capable of printing ASCII files
and that the printer can be pinged on the network.

To test ASCII printing:

1.

Start TCP/IP, if it is not already running, by entering the
command STRTCP.

2.

Verify that the AS/400 TCP/IP interface is active.
