SCS/DCA Printing Using TN5250e

To set up TN5250, configure your PrintServer using PrintGuide (see the manual
Getting Started with PrintGuide, doc. no. D60392).


Start PrintGuide, select Telnet Print Settings (Figure 7), select TN5250e as

Connection Type and enter the Device Name for your .

On many AS/400 installations, a device is automatically set up on the AS/400
when the PrintServer is booted. For this to happen, the following conditions
apply:

• Telnet must be started.

• The QUATOVRT SYSVAL parameter must be set to a value that is higher

than the number of auto-configured virtual controllers currently running on
the system. See section 6.3.1 for this procedure.


On some installations, the QAUTOVRT SYSVAL parameter is set to 0. This
prevents any virtual controllers from being auto-created. In cases where

QAUTOVRT SYSVAL cannot be changed from 0, devices must be configured
manually. See section 6.3.2

7.1.1 Autoconfiguration of Devices

How to set up your AS/400 to auto-configure devices:


Issue the command:


WRKCTLD *VWS

This will determine the number of auto-configured Virtual Controllers on the

system.

Issue the command:

DSPSYSVAL QAUTOVRT

If the system value of QAUTOVRT is zero, then use the procedure outlined in
section 6.3.2

If the system value of QAUTOVRT is equal to the number of auto-configured
Virtual Controllers, the QAUTOVRT value should be increased by the number of

devices that will be configured.
