ASCII Printer

Overview

This chapter details a complete AS/400 configuration setup including:

•Developing Line Descriptions with CRTLINETH

•Configuring the AS/400 for TCP/IP

•Configuring the AS/400 for Printing

•Verifying Printing from the AS/400

This document assumes no AS/400 printer configuration has been done. If any configuration has been done, please follow the procedure to the point at which continued configuration is required.

Developing Line Descriptions With CRTLINETH

For each LAN adapter on the AS/400, a line description needs to be created for the NIC. This is required for Release V3R2 and V3R7.

If a line description already exists, make sure the SSAP list includes default options “AA” and “12.” You must also know the LAN speed for the AS/400 LAN adapter.

NOTE: To change a line description, you need to vary the line off before making the change. After making the change, you need to vary the line back on.

To change an existing line description, use the CHGLINETH command. To create a line description, use CRTLINETH.
