Printronix Integrated Network Interface Card Configuring PSF With Crtdevprt On V3R7 And Above

Chapter 8 Configuring On AS/400 As An IPDS Printer

NOTE: The lines in bold in Figure 43 are not used by PSF/400. Instead, PSF/400 uses the information entered in the device description screen.

3.The following parameters are recommended:

a.PSF configuration (PSFCFG)

The name used for this PSF configuration object. The name must match the user-defined object name (USRDFNOBJ) in the printer DEVD.

b.IPDS pass through (IPDSPASTHR)

To print SCS files, specify *YES, PSF/400 transforms SCS into IPDS before printing.

c.Activate release timer (ACTRLSTMR)

Specifies the point at which the release timer (RLSTMR) is activated. Set to *NORDYF.

d.Release timer (RLSTMR)

Specifies the amount of time to wait before a session or dialog is released without terminating the writer. The ACTRLSTMR parameter specifies when this timer is to be activated. Set the parameter to a value at least equal to the TIMEOUT value on the printer. The recommended value is

*SEC15.

Configuring PSF With CRTDEVPRT On V3R7 And Above

This section describes how to create a printer device description.

1. At the AS/400 command line, enter a command in the form:

CRTDEVPRT DEVD(printer_type) DEVCLS(*LAN) TYPE(*IPDS)

MODEL(0) LANATTACH(*IP) AFP(*YES) PORT(5001) FONT(11) FORMFEED(*CONT) RMTLOCNAME(‘128.9.12.134’) USRDFNOBJ(AFP/5000NETPRT *PSFCFG) TEXT(‘printer_type NETWORK PRINTER’)

Where printer_type (e.g., T5000, P5000, L5520)is the model of your printer.
