<h4 id="rzaluconx3197">3197 display station configuration recommendations</h4>
<p>Refer to the IBM® <cite>3197 Display
Stations User's Guide</cite> to set
up your display for a printer session. Select <span class="italic">Display-Printer
Mode</span> with a <span class="italic">Printer Device ID</span> of 5256. Specify
850 as the <span class="italic">Printer Character Set Selection</span>.</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 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 i5/OS. </p>

<div class="notelisttitle" id="wq195">Notes:</div>
<ol type="1">
<li>The 3197 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 i5/OS. No more unrecognizable characters
will be printed.</li>
<li>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.</li>
</ol>
<p>The order in which the 3197 display and its attached printer are powered
on can affect the iSeries server's ability to recognize the printer. This order
is dependent on the model of the 3197. Use the Work with Configuration Status
(WRKCFGSTS) command to check the status of a printer device. If the status
of the printer is <span class="bold">vary on pending</span> or if the printer
is not automatically configured, reverse the order in which the display and
printer were powered on.</p>
