Note:

Setting Up - AS/400 (iSeries)

This section describes how to configure the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e
for printing SCS and IPDS data streams using SNA and TCP/IP
transport protocols in the AS/400 (iSeries) environment.
SNA is only available for print server models with the SNA option installed.
Please refer to Product Model Summary, on page 9
A number of protocols and print methods are available. Looking at
SCS over TCP/IP printing, we strongly recommend the TN5250E
alternative. This print method offers superior control and
management features as well as automatic configuration and high
throughput using the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e.
If you have decided to use SNA, we recommend the 5494 mode.
Compared to the 3174 mode, this alternative yields better text
formatting options as well as automatic configuration.
Proceed to the setup section that is relevant to your network
environment, as described in the table below:
