HP MIO
Appendix B System Configuration
Guidelines
This appendix contains technical details for the system operator on
how to configure the IBM system for the AXIS HP MIO board.
5250/Twinax Host Configuration
The AXIS HP MIO is, by default, set to emulate the IBM 3816
01S/01D printer with 5219 software. This setting is recommended for
any 5250 system, as it makes the best use of the functionality of the
HP printer.
5256 may be used when you need to guarantee that the AS/400 will
not send format settings (CPI, LPI, etc.). This is useful when you use
Hex Transparency to control printer behaviour.
AS/400 Configuration
If you will configure for a number of AXIS HP MIO interfaces, or if
you will use IBM 3812 emulation, manual configuration is
recommended. Manual configuration is performed using
CRTDEVPRT or WRKDEVD F6 (Create).
You may, prior to configuration, use PRTDEVADR to get a chart
showing free port and switch setting combinations. Device type
(TYPE) and Device model (MODEL) must match the setting of AXIS
HP MIO. The printers are listed in functionality order, with 5256
being the least functional (advanced) of the IBM printer emulations.
