•
There is proper connectivity to the Multi-station Access Unit
(MAU), if one is being used.
•
The IP address used to define the printer in PSF is unique in
the TCP/IP network.
•
The IP address of the AS/400 system is unique. If not, consult
your network administrator to resolve the address problem.
Correcting for printer performance issues – AS/400
Should you notice any printer performance problems—e.g.,
throughput speed degradation, check the areas listed in the following
table.
References – AS/400
The following IBM documents, referenced in this section, can provide
additional information on AS/400-to-IPDS printer connectivity.
Table E-20. Components to check for printer performance
problems
LAN If the printer is on a LAN that also has a large number of other
devices attached to it, the high levels of traffic on the LAN can
cause printer speed degradation. Consider moving the printer to
a LAN that does not have so much activity on it.
AS/400 to LAN
attachment If the speed of the link connecting the LAN with the printer
attached to the AS/400 system is slow, this could be a
bottleneck. Review your network configuration diagrams to look
for any potential bottlenecks.
