User's Manual Addendum
About this Addendum
This addendum to the AXIS 570/670 MIO User's Manual describes the new features introduced
into the product firmware since the release of this manual. These new features are generally
associated with the introduction of Double-Byte Character Set (DBCS) support into the product
that extends AS/400 5494 Controller and IBM Twinax printer emulation functionality within
the AXIS 570/670 MIO.
The information contained within this addendum is to be included in all future document
releases and is listed below under the appropriate section headings of the User's Manual.
Introduction
The new DBCS support facilitates printing from an IBM AS/400 host system for certain
languages that employ double-byte character sets, namely Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
Setting Up - SNA
Control Unit Emulation
The AXIS 570/670 supports DBCS printing in IBM 5494 emulation (5250 CU mode) only.
Host Set-up - IBM AS/400, 5250 CU mode
The IBM AS/400 host must have DBCS support to print DBCS documents. The QIGC (DBCS
version installed indicator) sysval should be set to 1. The QIGCCDEFNT sysval must be set to a
DBCS font installed in the system. These values are normally set to a correct value but may be
amended using WRKSYSVAL, if required.
Automatic Set-up
In some cases, it may be necessary to change the Device features and Last code point of the
printer device after automatic setup. Should you encounter any problem with corrupt printout,
you are advised to change the Device features and Last Code point of the printer device to the
value indicated below. You can set these values using WRKDEVD.
