AS400 Printing

AS400 Raw TCP/IP Printing to Port 9100 (CRTDEVPRT)

Purpose

This is the procedure to set up printing to a multifunction device from an AS/400 using the SNMP drivers.

Assumptions

This procedure is intended for users familiar with the AS/400 system, especially those experienced with printing in an AS/400 environment.

The AS/400 must run V4R5 of OS/400 so that the SNMP drivers are present (or V4R3/V4R4 with the most current PTFs installed).

The multifunction device must have port 9100 enabled.

Procedures

To enable port 9100

1.Open your Web browser and enter the TCP/IP address of the machine in the Address or Location field. Press [Enter].

2.Click the [Properties] tab.

3.Click the symbol to the left of [Connectivity].

4.Click the symbol to the left of [Protocols].

5.Select [Raw TCP/IP Printing] in the directory tree.

6.Ensure the [Enabled] box is checked to enable Raw TCP/IP Printing.

7.Leave the [TCP Port Number] set to 9100 for Port 1.

8.Leave the [Bidirectional] and [Maximum Connections] settings at their default values.

9.Set the [End of Job Timeout] to the number of seconds to wait before processing a job without an End Of Job indicator.

10.Leave the [PDL Switching] Enabled box at its default value.

11.Click [Apply] to accept the changes, [Undo] to return the settings to their previous values, or [Default All] to enter printer defaults for all settings (recommended). NOTE: The settings are not applied until you restart the machine.

12.Click the [Status Tab] link.

13.Click the [Reboot Machine] button and click [OK] to reboot the machine. The network controller takes approximately 5 minutes to reboot and network connectivity will be unavailable during this time.

To create an SNMP trap

1.Open your Web browser and enter the TCP/IP address of the machine in the Address or Location field. Press [Enter].

2.Click the [Properties] tab.

3.Click the symbol to the left of [Connectivity].

4.Click the symbol to the left of [Protocols].

5.Select [SNMP] in the directory tree. You may be prompted for the current tools administrator user name and password. The default is [admin] and [1111]. Click [OK].

6.Check the [Enable] box to enable the protocol.

7.To edit SNMP properties click [Edit].
