Configuration Instructions
245
Inactivity Timer (INACTTMR)
This defaults to *ATTACH, but can be set to any value from 1 to 30
(minutes), as well as *SEC15 (15 seconds), *SEC30 (30 seconds)
or *NOMAX (no maximum). This value determines when the print
driver closes the connection to the printer (freeing it up to received
spooled output from another source) once there are no OS/400
spooled files left in RDY (ready) status. It is recommended that this
be set to *SEC15 so OS/400 will free up the printer 15 seconds
after all RDY spooled files have been processed. Setting it to
*NOMAX will cause OS/400 to maintain the connection until the
writer ends, so the printer device will not be shared with other
systems.
Host Print Transform (TRANSFORM)
This needs to be set to *YES so the OS/400 system's Host Print
Transform (HPT) function will convert both SCS and AFPDS
spooled files to the printer's data stream.
Manufacturer Type and Model (MFRTYPMDL)
This indicates the type of ASCII printer being used. This value is
used by HPT to determine what ASCII controls to use when
converting the spooled file from SCS or AFPDS to ASCII. The
ASCII emulation setting on the printer is *IBM4203 for Proprinter.
Remote Location (RMTLOCNAME)
This should be set to the printer's IP address, host name or DNS
name. If an IP address is used, it should be entered without leading
zeros (for example, use 192.186.10.2 instead of 192.186.010.002).
If an IP address is used, verify that OS/400 can reach the printer by
using either the PING or Verify TCP/IP Connection (VFYTCPCNN)
command with that IP address. If a host name or DNS name is
used, verify that OS/400 can reach the printer by using either the
PING or Verify TCP/IP Connection (VFYTCPCNN) command with
that host name or DNS name.
