|
||
|
|
<p>Configure printers that are supported by the InfoWindow® display
|
||
|
|
as recommended in Appendix A of the <cite>IBM® 3477 InfoWindow User's Guide</cite>.
|
||
|
|
Configure printers that are not supported by the 3477 with the following values: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Type A for the <span class="bold">Printer Character Set</span> field</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>5256 for the <span class="bold">Printer Emulation</span> field</li></ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>When you leave the display's configuration menu, the printer device description
|
||
|
|
is automatically created if both the following are true: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>The printer is powered on</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Automatic configuration is on</li></ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>After the printer device description is created on the iSeries server, enable
|
||
|
|
the host print transform using the Change Device Description (Printer) (CHGDEVPRT)
|
||
|
|
command. The display's printer configuration is not used after the host print
|
||
|
|
transform is enabled. The data stream generated for the printer is based on
|
||
|
|
the MFRTYPMDL parameter value specified in the printer device description
|
||
|
|
on the iSeries server. </p>
|
||
|
|
<a name="wq191"></a>
|
||
|
|
<div class="notetitle" id="wq191">Note:</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="notebody">Do not change the display's printer configuration
|
||
|
|
after your device description has been created on the iSeries server. Doing so
|
||
|
|
can cause the i5/OS printer device description to be replaced. In this case,
|
||
|
|
the host print transform is no longer enabled. The CHGDEVPRT command can
|
||
|
|
be used to enable the host print transform again.</div>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Understanding the 3477 power-on initialization sequence</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The 3477 sends a power-on initialization sequence to the attached printer
|
||
|
|
every time the printer or display is powered on. This initialization is designed
|
||
|
|
for IBM printers. If a printer is attached that does not support the IBM data
|
||
|
|
stream, some unrecognizable characters might be printed. After this initialization
|
||
|
|
sequence, the data stream generated is based on the MFRTYPMDL parameter in
|
||
|
|
the printer device description on the iSeries server. No more unrecognizable
|
||
|
|
characters will be printed.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If your 3477 is a Model H, you can turn off the power-on initialization
|
||
|
|
sequence by doing the following: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ol type="1">
|
||
|
|
<li>From the 3477's setup menu, select <span class="italic">Test Workstation</span>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Press the Alt, Shift, and Setup keys together.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The F6 key is now set to switch between power-on initialization active
|
||
|
|
and power-on initialization not active.
|
||
|
|
<p>Pressing F6 displays +6 or *6 on
|
||
|
|
the bottom of the screen. If +6 is displayed, power-on initialization is not
|
||
|
|
active. If *6 is displayed, power-on initialization is active.</p></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Press the Reset key to return to the 3477 setup menu.</li></ol>
|
||
|
|
<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 3477 Model H is the only 3477 InfoWindow display that supports customization.
|
||
|
|
The 3477 Model H display can use a workstation customizing object (located
|
||
|
|
in the device description of the display) to define the printer attached to
|
||
|
|
it. Conversely, the host print transform uses a workstation customizing object
|
||
|
|
located in the device description of the printer. If you have customized some
|
||
|
|
printer features in the display's workstation object, use of the host print
|
||
|
|
transform overrides the customization.</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 used in the display's workstation customizing
|
||
|
|
object.</p></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Use the workstation customizing object name that is compatible with the
|
||
|
|
host print transform as the value for the WSCST parameter in the printer device
|
||
|
|
description.

|
|
<div class="notebody">The location of the WSCST
|
||
|
|
object name (in the printer device description, not in the display device
|
||
|
|
description) is important when using customization with the host print transform.</div></li></ol>
