<h4 id="rzaluconhptawsc">ASCII workstation controller configuration recommendations</h4>
|
||
|
|
<p>There is no automatic configuration capability for printers attached to
|
||
|
|
the ASCII workstation controller. The Create Device Description (Printer)
|
||
|
|
(CRTDEVPRT) command must be used to create the configuration descriptions.
|
||
|
|
For existing printers, use the Change Device Description (Printer) (CHGDEVPRT)
|
||
|
|
command.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Configure printers not supported by the ASCII workstation controller with
|
||
|
|
these values: device type as 4019, model as Model 1, and emulated printer
|
||
|
|
as 3812. Many of the other parameters depend on the attached printer (line
|
||
|
|
speed, data bits, and so on). To avoid i5/OS parameter checking, specify *YES
|
||
|
|
as the value on the emulating ASCII parameter in the printer device description.
|
||
|
|
For example, this allows a communications line speed of 38 400 bps.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>After the host print transform is enabled, the device type and model parameters
|
||
|
|
in the device description have no effect on the data stream sent to the printer.
|
||
|
|
The data stream generated for the printer is based on the MFRTYPMDL parameter
|
||
|
|
in the i5/OS printer device description.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Maintaining printer customization</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Before you do the work of creating a workstation customizing object for
|
||
|
|
a printer, try printing jobs using the host print transform support. You might
|
||
|
|
not need to create a customizing object for the printer due to the extended
|
||
|
|
support provided by the host print transform.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The ASCII workstation controller can use a workstation customizing object
|
||
|
|
in the printer device description to define the printer's characteristics.
|
||
|
|
That workstation customizing object can be customized to use the special
|
||
|
|
features of a printer that the ASCII workstation controller does not support.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If the host print transform is enabled, the customizing object specified
|
||
|
|
for the ASCII workstation controller printer device description must be removed
|
||
|
|
or replaced. The customizing objects created for the ASCII workstation controller
|
||
|
|
are not compatible with the host print transform.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>However, if you need to customize your printer while using the host print
|
||
|
|
transform, you should: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ol type="1">
|
||
|
|
<li>Make sure the host print transform is enabled.
|
||
|
|
<p>The TRANSFORM parameter
|
||
|
|
value for the printer device description must be *YES.</p></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Use a workstation customizing object that is compatible with the host
|
||
|
|
print transform.
|
||
|
|
<p>Customize the printer features in this object to match
|
||
|
|
the customized features that you initially used in the workstation customizing
|
||
|
|
object specified in the ASCII workstation controller printer device description.</p></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Use the workstation customizing object name that is compatible with the
|
||
|
|
host print transform as the new value for the ASCII workstation controller
|
||
|
|
parameter in the printer device description.
