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 36.
