PSF/400 AFP Printing Using TCP/IP

10. PSF/400 AFP Printing Using TCP/IP

This chapter provides configuration guidelines for AS/400 using TCP/IP. The versions differ somewhat in the setup.

If you are running AS/400 version 3.1 or 3.6 , you should see section 13.1. If you are running AS/400 version 3.2 or 3.7 , see section 13.2.

Requirements:

Before IPDS printing using TCP/IP can be accomplished, the following points need to be checked:

1.TCP/IP is installed and enabled

2.The relevant PTFs are applied (for AS/400 3.1 and 3.6 only)

3.The WRKAFP2 command is compiled (for AS/400 3.1 and 3.6 only)

Details on how to verify these items are supplied in a separate document included on the documentation diskette.

See the file: AS400PTF.

PSF/400 is also a pre-requisite for IPDS printing. IPDS printing is however possible for a period of time as a license can be obtained.

Once the above conditions have been met, the parameters have been configured. The basic TCP/IP installation of the Xerox 4500 PS TR IPC (IPDS) must also have been completed before direct AFP / IPDS from PSF/400 will be possible.

NOTE:

The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of the IP packet size that can be used is 2000.

10.1AS/400 version 3.1 and 3.6

This section describes the following configuration:

CRTDEVPRT samples

WRKAFP2 samples

10.1.1 CRTDEVPRT

Create a printer device description for version 3.1 or 3.6.

The value must be unique within the network.
