Using 4247 With As/400 Host Print Transform - IBM 3 User Manual

Using 4247 With AS/400 Host Print Transform

AS/400 Host Print Transform (HPT) provides two objects that allow you to use the
multiple paper sources available on the 4247 printer.
The first is *IBM4247DUAL. This object provides support for the two tractor feeds,
with DRAWER (1) meaning the front tractor feed and DRAWER (2) meaning the
rear tractor feed.
The second 4247 HPT object, *IBM4247AUTO, which provides support for the
Automatic Sheet Feeder (ASF), has been enhanced in AS/400 V4R3 to provide
support for all three of the Automatic Sheet Feeder (ASF) bins as well as both the
front and rear tractor feeds. Prior to this enhancement, only DRAWER 1, 2, and 3,
as defined below, were supported. Now DRAWER 4 and 5 have been added. This
object now provides the following paper source to DRAWER parameter mapping:
Note that envelopes must be placed in bin 1 of the ASF. Thus *E1 will select Bin 1
of the ASF.
Support that includes this enhancement to the HPT objects can also be added to
V4R1 or V4R2 by applying a PTF. For information, see the Euro I Info APAR,
number II1523.
