TN5250 Job Formatting
Example: tn dest d1prn start
By using the manual method, time is allowed to properly prepare the AS/400 after the printer is powered up but before a connection is established. This method should only be used during an initial installation until the printer and the AS/400 are synchronized. The normal method is to have autoconnect enabled.
The autoconnect feature has a cycle time of approximately one minute. A little patience may be required when first turning on the printer before the connection becomes visible on the AS400.
