5. Configuration—Twinax

5.1 Twinax Configuration

Before operating the interface card in twinax mode, the IBM host must be
configured with a device address and device ID for the printer. See your system
operator or system manuals for details. With the correct address selected, an
AS/400 will automatically configure itself. If you are using a System 3X host, you
must configure the host manually. The table below shows the recommended
device IDs on the different host systems.

1. Make sure the interface is properly connected to the twinax host and the
correct device address is set.
2. Power on the printer. The AS/400 will auto-configure the printer address
according to the interface settings.

5.2 Twinax Host Download Commands

Host download commands are used to configure your printer for entering custom
printer commands such as printer-sharing timeout, character set, and page
orientation. These commands can be sent to the interface/printer from the IBM
host. They are placed in a host document or screen. The commands take effect
when the print job or screen print is sent to the printer.
