IBM OS/400 ASCII Printer Support

Infoprint 2085 and 2105 are supported as an ASCII (PCL) printer via a Workstation Customization Object under the Host Print Transform (HPT) facility.

HPT transforms the AFPDS data stream to ASCII for printing to iSeries ASCII printers.

The ASCII data stream can be sent to this printer when attached to a Token-Ring or Ethernet LAN via TCP/IP. That connection can use either of the following two TCP/IP drivers:

OS/400 SNMP printer driver.

OS/400 TCP/IP Line Printer Requester (LPR) and Line Printer Daemon (LPD), also known as remote output queue. HPT support (AFP to ASCII) includes the following limitations:

AFP graphics (GOCA) commands not supported

Multiple-up not supported

BGU and GDF graphics files not supported

GDDM scalable fonts not supported

CHRSIZE font keyword not supported

Edge to edge not supported

FIDELITY keyword not supported

AFP to ASCII may need to be run in raster mode in order to produce accurate results
