Using Rumba to Print to the DocuMatch from an AS/400 System
Printing from
Rumba
DocuMatch
Integrated Mail System
TM
The Rumba software package permits PC users to run a
terminal session on an AS/400 system and also to print
AS/400 jobs on a printer connected to their PC. The physi-
cal connection to the AS/400 would normally be IBM
Twinax. Rumba only supports text printing. It does not
support print jobs that include electronic forms, signatures,
logos, etc., or jobs that are specially formatted for IBM
IPDS printers. If the AS/400 application supports multiple
fonts, Rumba lets you assign a PC TrueType font to each of
the AS/400 fonts. Rumba does not support page-by-page
printer tray selection on the DocuMatch.
We tested Rumba version 5.2 with DocuMatch driver
version 4.01.08 on a PC running Windows 95. The follow-
ing procedure assumes that you already have installed
Rumba on the PC and you can log in to the AS/400.
1. Install the DocuMatch driver on the PC. For testing
purposes, when the installation program asks what
port to print to, you can pick FILE.
2. Start Rumba Printer, select an AS/400 print queue,
then right-click on the DocuMatch under PC Printer
Queues. Select Output Destination. This directs the
selected AS/400 queue to the DocuMatch.
3. Click on Connection/Configure/Rumba router/
Transform and disable Host Print Transform.
4. Click on File/Page Setup and select Use all format-
ting specified by Windows. In this dialog, you can
specify the paper tray, margins, default font size,
line spacing, and scaling for the text to be printed.
You may need to experiment with these settings to
get the text to align properly with your forms.
5. Under Options/Font Mapping you can map the host
font IDs to the TrueType fonts on your PC.
6. On the General tab in File/Page Setup, make sure
the DocuMatch is selected as the printer and click
