Environment

Once the settings are entered correctly in this window, the TN5250E printing will
be automatically configured on the AS/400 system. OS/400 versions prior to V4R3
may require certain PTFs.

Check with IBM to determine what AS/400 PTFs you may require to support
TN5250E printing. Some fields are required as defined below:

Device Name – This field entry is not required. The name is arbitrary but must

be unique. The name will usually be supplied by the System Administrator.

Message Queue – Not required. This field will identify the message queue

where operational messages are sent.

Font – This field entry is required. The default value is 11.
Form Feed – Not required. Identifies the type of forms used.
Host Transform – This field entry is required. The default value is *YES. If

the AS/400 application is to create ASCII Pass Thru data (SCS mode), then
select *NO.

Type and Model – This field is required. This field identifies the attached printer

type. If your printer type is not listed use a printer type with a compatible printer
command set. The other fields are not required.

Note: If the Host Transform parameter is set to *NO, then this field does NOT apply.

ASCII 899 – Not required. If the attached printer supports ASCII code page 899

(used for OfficeVision/400 symbols), then select *YES.

Workstation Customizing Object – Not required. Allows customization of

the printer command stream.
