Defining the printer to the host: TCP/IP attachment

Correcting for printer performance issues – AS/400

Should you notice any printer performance problems—e.g., throughput speed degradation, check the areas listed in the following table.

Table F-19. Components to check for printer performance

problems

LAN	If the printer is on a LAN that also has a large number of
	other devices attached to it, the high levels of traffic on the
	LAN can cause printer speed degradation. Consider
	moving the printer to a LAN that does not have so much
	activity on it.

AS/400 to	If the speed of the link connecting the LAN with the printer
LAN	attached to the AS/400 system is slow, this could be a
attachment	bottleneck. Review your network configuration diagrams to
	look for any potential bottlenecks.
