5.1.5 Configuring AS/400 for Printing
The procedure for configuring an AS/400 for printing requires that you:
1. Setup the printing capability
2. Verify the setup with a print job.
In order to accomplish this configuration, you need the following information:
a) Remote Printer Queue Name
Set for any of ‘pr1’ through ‘pr4’.
The Remote Printer Queue name must be all lower case.
b) IP Address
See the IP Address value set in the INIT IP ADDRESS
parameter of the LAN INTERFACE item in the Power-On Configuration setup you find in the User
Manual included in the Printer Documentation & Driver CD- ROM.
5.1.6 Setting up Printing for ASCII Files
The next step in configuring the AS/400 is to setup the remote printing capability. There are two ways to do
this:
• you can specify the LPR parameters manually each time you send a file to the printer.
• use remote writer and a remote output queue for automatic printing to the printer.
5.1.6.1 Set LPR Manually
1. Start TCP/IP, if it not already running, by entering the STRTCP command
2. At the AS/400 command line, enter ‘LPR’.
3. The following example shows only the parameters you need to specify:
Remote
System RMTSYS INTNETADR
Printer Queue PRTQ d1prn
Destination Type DESTTYP OTHER
Transform SCS to ASCII TRANSFORM YES
Manufacturer Type and Model MFRTYPMDL IBM6400EP
Internet Address INTNETADR 127.000.000.000.
where,
Remote System: enter the host name of your printer or INTNETADR, which then prompts you
to specify the IP address of your printer.
Printer Queue: set to “pr1” through “pr4”. The remote printer queue name must be all lower case, entered in
single quotes.
Destination Type: specify “OTHER” for the DESTTYP parameter.
Transform: specify “YES”.
Manufacturer Type and Model: select a manufacturer type and model. Select “IBM6400EP” for Epson
emulation or “IBM6400” or “IBM42023” for IBM Proprinter.
Internet Address: specify the IP address of the printer.
