IBM Partner Pavilion 6400 manual Preparing for Configuration, Pre-Configuration Checklist

Preparing for Configuration

With the MPI feature installed, the following steps must be performed before it will be fully operational. The MPI feature must be configured, the printer must be configured for correct operation with the feature, and the printer must be defined to the twinax or coax host. In addition, if the parallel port will be used to attach another host, then that configuration must be performed.

Pre-Configuration Checklist

Before configuring the MPI and printer, you should review the following checklist and answer each question. Answering these questions will help you to configure both the MPI and the printer.

!Will you attach the printer to the host with coax or twinax?

!What coax or twinax printer do you want the MPI to emulate?

Your choices for coax are: IBM 3287 and 3262

Your choices for twinax are:

IBM 4214, 5225, 5256, and 4234

!Will there be a host device attached through the parallel port? If so, what ASCII emulation will this host device use?

Your choices are:

Epson, P-Series, and Serial Matrix

!Is either Code V or IGP graphics feature installed in the printer?

Now that you understand the environment, proceed with the MPI configuration.
