Print an E-net Test Page to verify the Ethernet settings.

The default NIC queue name is d1prn, however, the name can be changed. Substitute the changed name for the RMTPRTQ parameter. To verify the queue name, print an E-Net Test Page or telnet to the adapter and perform a “list dest” command.

Specify the IP address of the printer.

Verify Printing On AS/400

This section verifies that the printer is capable of printing ASCII files and that the printer can be pinged on the network.

To test ASCII printing:

1.Start TCP/IP, if it is not already running, by entering the command STRTCP.

2.Verify that the AS/400 TCP/IP interface is active.
