Telnet server print support to iSeries Access for Windows Telnet client

The IBM^® iSeries™ Access for Windows^® client provides both display emulation, 5250 full-screen Telnet client, and printer emulation.

Select one of the following to start a printer session:

iSeries Access for Windows > Emulators > Start or Configure Session from the program start menu
Select the name of an iSeries server to connect to.
Use the workstation ID field to specifically request an iSeries virtual device name. Or, you can leave the field blank and the Telnet server will auto-select a compatible virtual device (QPADEVxxxx) and return the name on the printer control panel.
For type of emulation:
1. Choose printer
2. Click the set-up box to start the PC5250 printer emulation set-up screen
From the set-up screen, you can configure things such as font, the iSeries message queue, and the HPT host function. The HPT host functions include "transform print data to ASCII on iSeries". Selecting HPT enables other configuration items, such as printer model and media tray selection options. There is also an auto-reconnect option, and an option to override the default iSeries Telnet port number (23).

To end the session, click Communication > Disconnect from the menu bar.
