Configuring For A *LAN 3812 SNMP Device Description
Form Feed (FORMFEED)
This should be set to *CONT. Leaving this set at *TYPE or setting it to the
wrong value can cause problems with both drawer selection and paper size.
Printer Error Message (PRTERRMSG)
This defaults to *INQ, but can be set to *INFO so the printer's message queue
will receive informational messages whenever possible. If this is set to *INQ
and a problem occurs on the printer (such as out of forms or a paper jam) a
message will be sent to the printer's message queue that must be answered
before printing can continue.
Activation Timer (ACTTMR)
This defaults to 170 (seconds), but can be set to any value from 1 to 2550
seconds (or 42.5 minutes). The activation timer refers to the amount of time
for the system to wait for the LAN-attached printer device to respond before
ending a connection attempt. If the printer refuses a connection attempt by
the host for any reason before the timer expires, it will be considered not
available and an error message will post.
Inactivity Timer (INACTTMR)
This defaults to *ATTACH, but can be set to any value from 1 to 30 (minutes),
as well as *SEC15 (15 seconds), *SEC30 (30 seconds) or *NOMAX (no
maximum). This value determines when the print driver closes the connection
to the printer (freeing it up to received spooled output from another source)
once there are no iSeries OS spooled files left in RDY (ready) status. It is
recommended that this be set to *SEC15 so the iSeries OS will free up the
printer 15 seconds after all RDY spooled files have been processed. Setting it
to *NOMAX will cause the iSeries OS to maintain the connection until the
writer ends, so the printer device will not be shared with other systems.
Host Print Transform (TRANSFORM)
This needs to be set to *YES so the iSeries OS system's Host Print Transform
(HPT) function will convert both SCS and AFPDS spooled files to the printer's
data stream.
