Chapter 5. Configuring the Printer and Its Attachments
Chapter Overview
This chapter contains worksheets you can use to configure the printer and the
attachments you use to connect host systems to the printer.
Printer Configuration
Fill in the information on Table 8, and give a copy of the completed form to the
customer engineer when the printer is installed. The customer engineer will use
the worksheet to configure the printer. You can change some of these options
later.
The procedures for configuring the printer are in IBM InfoPrint 60; 3160 Advanced
Function Printer: Maintenance Information, 30H7534. The procedures for updating
the configuration are in
IBM InfoPrint 60: User's Guide, G544-5232, and IBM 3160
Advanced Function Printer: User's Guide, G544-5243.

Autostart A yes or no indication of whether the printer performs an autostart during power-on.
With autostart, the printer automatically enables the attachment that was enabled at
the time of the last power-off. The printer then makes itself ready.
Note: When Autostart has been defined NO, TCP/IP communication defaults to
disabled after an unexpected shutoff (for example, a power outage, pressing the off
switch inadvertantly). This results in messages declaring that PSF cannot
communicate with the printer. Therefore, in distributed LAN environments using
TCP/IP protocols, you will probably decide to define
Autostart YES.
Duplex An indication of whether the printer is enabled for duplex printing
Default font The font that is used when no font is designated by the host. Unless you specify
otherwise, the default font is Courier Roman Medium 12 pitch (10 point) using code
page 500, version 1.
