When your Intermate LX T-04 is configured, and the configuration is verified by a test printout, it is time to connect it to the IBM host.

The AS/400 configuration is easiest done using the Auto Configuration. The LX T-04 then configures as a *4214 printer device.

Make sure that the printer is switched off and the T-cable and the twinax cables are properly attached.

Then follow these steps to configure your AS/400 and the LX T-04.

1.Find a free device address by printing a device address chart using the CL command:

PRTDEVADR

2.Set the device address (0-6) on the LX T-04's address switch.

3.Enable Auto Configuration using the CL command:

CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QAUTOCFG) VALUE('1')

4.Connect the LX T-04 to the network and switch the printer ON.

If the device address has been changed from another valid value (0-6), you must confirm by stepping the address switch one step forward, and then back. The new device address is confirmed by a printed message.

5.Verify that the AS/400 has detected a new device type *4214 by using the CL command WRKDEVD PRT* and pressing F5 (refresh) continuously.

6.Start the Printer Writer for the device:

STRPRTWTR DEV(PRT08)
