By using the manual method, time is allowed to properly
prepare the AS/400 after the printer is powered up but before a
connection is established. This method should only be used
during an initial installation until the printer and the AS/400 are
synchronized. The normal method is to have autoconnect
enabled.
The autoconnect feature has a cycle time of approximately one
minute. A little patience may be required when first turning on
the printer before the connection becomes visible on the
AS400.
