Printer Device
Descriptions
Through auto-configuration, the APPC controller, APPC device, RWS
controller as well as printer device descriptions for the logical printers,
will be created automatically.
Controller and Device
Names
The names of the controllers and devices created in the AS/400 during
auto-configuration are by default the last 7 characters from the Axis
Network Print Server serial number in reverse order, preceded by the
letter "A".
For example, serial number "00408C180102" will result in APPC-
controller "A201081C", APPC-device "A201081C" and RWS-controller
"A2010RMT".
Printer devices will be named "A201PRT01", A201PRT02", A201PRT02"…
The designation "PRTnn" corresponds to the logical printers in the Print
Server, i.e. printer device "A201PRT01" will be mapped to Logical Printer
#1. By default, all Logical Printers are mapped to the Physical Port LPT1.
To customize the print server, proceed to the
SNA Printing - 5494 Mode,
on page 21.
