I-O 5250 Printer Connection Status
The I-O 5250 Printer session reports Host and Printer Status from the I-O 5250 Printer Control Panel.
After making the connection,
the Host Status will indicate it’s Waiting for System for a moment and then
change to System Available when the host makes contact. The host will create the printer, vary on and
start the writer. The Printer indicates a status of Idle whenever the session is connected unless the host
has detected an error.
If the printer is offline or out of paper when a job is sent, an Error window will pop up indicating; Timeout
on Printer xxxx on port lpt1: After reloading paper or putting the printer online, click on Retry to start
printing.
Note:
If the printer is powered off when a job is sent to the printer, the host does not receive status
back from the printer indicating it is offline and will offload the job and clear the queue. This is
a major issue if you are unaware the job did not print or you are not able to reprint the job.
If you run out of paper, reloading paper will resume printing from where it left off. However, if
you get a paper jam which requires you to power off the printer to clear the printer error, make
sure you save the job in the print queue if it is still there before you power off the printer. This
way you will be able to reprint the job.
IBM Error Codes
IBM error codes are generated by the host system when an error occurs in the application being run,
such as using the wrong command key, making the wrong selection from a menu, and so on.
When an error occurs, the keyboard lock and the inhibit indicator X, appears and remains in the status
line. You will also see a four-digit system error code in the center of the status line.
To recover from an error, press RESET
and continue to input information. If you cannot recover from
an error condition, contact the system operator.
