Chapter 8 Configuring On AS/400 As An IPDS Printer
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. Printronix recommends *SEC15.
Page size control (PAGSIZCTL)
Specifies if the page size (forms) is set by PSF. Usually set to
*YES.
Remote Location name or address (RMTLOCNAME)
Enter the IP address or hostname of the printer.
Configuring PSF with CRTDEVPRT On V4R2 and Above
This section describes how to create a printer device description.
1. At the iSeries command line, enter a command in the form:
CRTDEVPRT DEVD(P7000) DEVCLS(*LAN) TYPE(*IPDS) MODEL(0)
LANATTACH(*IP) AFP(*YES) PORT(5001) FONT(11) FORMFEED(*CONT) RMTLOCNAME(‘128.9.12.134’)
USRDFNOBJ(AFP/NETPRTP7000 *PSFCFG)
TEXT(‘Printronix P7000 NETWORK PRINTER’)
Only use the USRDFNOBJ parameter if it was defined in the previous procedure.
A completed screen looks like the example shown in Figure 46.
