Page 4: Overview
– they do not present those options that will use default settings. Audience This document targets system administrators familiar with the AS/400 environment. A system administrator should plan to install the WSCO without requiring assistance from Xerox field personnel. The following section contains support information. Xerox Support Contact Customer Support for Phaser products at 1-800-835-6100. -

Printing AFP Documents The AS/400 has the ability to format a file for printing on an IPDS or an ASCII printer. The AS/400 writer looks at the Device Type in the “Device Description” file to determine which formatter to call. If the Device Type is *IPDS and AFP=*YES, then the writer hands the spool file to PSF. -

The authorities *ALLOBJ, *SPLCTL, and *IOSYSCFG are required to run the commands provided in XTOOLSxxxx, unless the administrator has made those commands public. On the AS/400 command line, enter the following to create a save file in library QGPL, then press Enter: 1. CRTSAVF QGPL/XTOOLSxxxx 2. -
Page 7: Creating A Device Description Or A Remote Print Queue
Enter the information below: Name of printer device: User-defined name for the print queue. Remote Location: IP address or host name of Xerox device. If you use an IP address, surround it with single quotes. For example: ‘111.111.1.100’ WorkStation Custom Object: The WSCST that was created when the user-defined WSCO was compiled. -

Printer Queue Name: If the Xerox device associated with this queue is a Document Centre or WorkCentre, enter ‘lp’ (include quote marks). If the Xerox device associated with this queue is a Phaser, enter AUTO. Media Size: Specifies the media size associated with this remote queue. The default is *LETTER, which means an 8.5”... -
Page 9: Using The Wsco
As an example, if the printer does not have a tray 4 and the AS/400 spool file is set for DRAWER 4, the printer will use the default tray. Unless the user has changed it, the default tray is set to AUTO TRAY Switch. This means that the printer will pull from a tray whose paper size matches the paper specified in the spool file. - Page 10 ENVEL DRAWE DRAWE DRAWE DRAWE DRAWE DRAWE DRAWE DRAWE DRAWE DRAWE Product WSCO PAPER Tray 5 Auto Tray 1 Tray 2 Tray 3 Tray 4 Tray 6 Bypass ALB80xx ** XRXALX Bypass (l7H) (l2H) (l4H) (l1H) (l5H) (l8H) (l22H) (l2H) (l2H) Tray 5 Auto...

Commands 1-3 are front ends or pre-processing objects and invoke the IBM command to create each object. Commands 4 and 5 are used to capture a spool file that allows Xerox technical support to re-create a problem for troubleshooting. The commands adhere to the IBM SAA standard for AS/400. They support F5 for Refresh, F3 for Exit and F12 for Cancel. -

The “save file” can then be emailed to Xerox technical support for analysis. Capturing an Outq and its Spool File(s) to Send to Xerox, v6.1 or Later Since v6.1, the AS400 has the ability to save an output queue and its spool file(s) to a save file. -
Page 18: Crtxdevprt Driver Program Option
Xerox driver called XSNMPDRV that is modeled after the IBMSNMPDRV but has some enhanced features. The Xerox SNMP driver adds the capability to Prepend or Postpend printer setup functions such as stapling or hole punching not available in the WSCO. The Prepend collection is transmitted before the spool file data. The Postpend collection is transmitted after the spool file data. - Page 19 The Prepend data is actually transmitted to the printer in front of the translated spool file data. Host Print Transform then uses the information in the WSCST to translate and format the spool file data. The first item to be transmitted is the PCL RESET command, as per the WSCST.

Page 20: To Change The Default Paper Size
The RTVPREPOST command retrieves the ASCII text and data from the User Space and puts it in the source member specified. An editor can them be used to make additional changes as needed. NOTE: The translation from EBCDIC to ASCII/hex in both directions requires that the end of a line be readily identifiable. -
Page 21: To Print On Multiple Size Pages From The Same Tray
To Print on Multiple Size Pages from the Same Tray To print different size pages from the same tray requires a change to the WSCO for that product. The solution is to leave the “Paper Size Drawer 1 and 2” set to “LETTER” and remove the PCL command for letter on the “DATA”... -
Page 22: Workflow For Printing Ebcdic Scs And Afpds Spool Files On Network-Attached Ascii Printer
The mapping of the DRAWER to TRAY calls is an example. The XTOOLS library contains modified WSCSTs for most Xerox printer models. The majority of output from the AS400 is reports and simple text pages. These were printed using line printers in the past. So, typically there are not many different typefaces required. - Page 23 Once the edits are completed and saved, the WSCST needs to be created using either the IBM-supplied CRTWSCST command or the Xerox-supplied CRTXWSC from the XTOOLS library. Once the WSCST is successfully created, you must end the writer of the printer you want to use, and then restart it, to pick up the changes you made to the source member.
