Setting Up Printing For ASCII Files

Manufacturer Type (MFRTYPMDL)

NOTE: Select a manufacturer type and model. This is the name of the WSCO. Select *IBM6500-vfor Proprinter Emulation or 6500-vEP for Proprinter for Epson Emulation. Select the Manufacturer Type Model based on the data type.

a. Report printing, text only, no IGP or barcodes.

Manufacturer Type Model	= *IBM6500
Workstation customizing object	= *NONE

Since IBM42023 is a Printronix XL emulation, the printer emulation must also be switched to Proprinter emulation. Be sure to save the printer emulation as the power-up configuration.

Alternate selection:

Manufacturer Type Model = *IBM6500EP

Workstation Customizing Object = *NONE

Since IBM6500EP is an Epson emulation, the printer emulation must be also switched to Epson emulation. Be sure to save the printer emulation as the power-up configuration.

b. PGL or VGL program.
Manufacturer Type Model	= *WSCSTCONT132
Workstation Customizing Object = QWPDEFAULT
Library	= QSYS

This selects a generic object that passes the data unchanged without any escape codes to the printer. Text files will print in the currently selected printer configuration, cpi, lpi, and form length. OS/400 versions below V3R7 may not have this selection and may require manual creation of a generic WSCST. Please contact your IBM representative for assistance.

NOTE: For occasional text reports, create a printer configuration for each report and use the [Job Select] key to select a report configuration.
