TN5250 Job Formatting

If you do not wish the printer to connect automatically when powered up
then leave the autoconnect disabled and control the connection manually
with the following command:
Example: tn dest d1prn start
By using the manual method, time is allowed to properly prepare the
iSeries after the printer is powered up but before a connection is
established. This method should only be used during an initial installation
until the printer and the iSeries are synchronized. The normal method is
to have autoconnect enabled.
The autoconnect feature has a cycle time of approximately one minute. A
little patience may be required when first turning on the printer before the
connection becomes visible on the iSeries.
