<h4 id="rzaluconx3487">3486, 3487, and 3488 InfoWindow display station configuration recommendations</h4>
<p>Configure printers that are supported by the InfoWindow&reg; display
as recommended in the InfoWindow display's configuration menus.
Configure any printer that is not included in the list of supported printers
as a 4201/4202 printer.</p>
<p>When you leave the InfoWindow 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 i5/OS, enable the host
print transform using the 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 i5/OS. </p>
<a name="wq188"></a>
<div class="notetitle" id="wq188">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">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 348x displays 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 customizing 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.
<a name="wq190"></a>
<div class="notetitle" id="wq190">Remember:</div>
<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>

printers.</p>
