Changing Your As/400 Printer Configuration - IBM 6400 Setup Manual

3. If the IPDS feature is not installed, you must choose to emulate
either a 5225 or 4234–2 printer from the Twinax Interface menu,
under Printer Emulation. The default is 4234–2 printer
emulation.
4. If the IPDS feature is installed, you must choose to emulate a
4234–12, from the IPDS menu, under IPDS Emulation Mode.
The default is 4234–12 printer emulation. See the IPDS
Programmer's Reference Manual for information on the IPDS
Emulation Mode values.
5. Turn printer off.
6. Attach the twinax cable from your printer to your host
workstation.
7. Turn the printer back on. AS/400's auto configuration program
will query the printer and configure the host system software to
recognize the printer.
8. You may want to execute the AS/400 Workstation Printer
(VFYPRT) Verification Test to make sure the AS/400 host
system recognizes the printer.
NOTE: If you do not want to use the system printer configuration that is
created by AS/400's auto configuration program, you can change
the printer configuration values as described below.

Changing Your AS/400 Printer Configuration

Your printer can be configured either as a 6400 printer or as a 4234–12
printer by setting 4234 Emulation Mode to Yes or No.
For more information on configuring a printer, see AS/400 Device
Configuration Guide or the online configuration information on the system.
Changing Configuration with Auto Configuration
Auto Configuration can be utilized when either locally or remotely attaching
to the system. The printer is configured as DEVTYPE (4234). Other
parameters are automatically assigned by the system. See the AS/400 Device
Configuration Guide for more information.
