<h1 class="topictitle1">Configure printers on the LAN</h1>
<div><div class="section"><p>You also need to provide print services to your users by allowing
them to share a common printer attached to the office LAN. The printer in
your network is compatible with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
You will use your iSeries™ system as a print server to manage print
jobs and to send them to this printer on your LAN. This printer is attached
to the LAN with a network adaptor. </p>
<p>To set up the iSeries server
as a print server that manages print jobs, complete the following steps:</p>
</div>
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>Configure printers</span><ol type="a"><li><span>Ensure that all cabling is complete.</span></li>
<li><span>Ensure the printer is set up using the printer's instructions
manual.</span></li>
<li><span>On the control panel of the printer, set the Port Timeout to
300 (5 minutes). This timer controls the amount of time in seconds (5 to 300)
that the printer waits before printing the last page. The timer does not end
with a command to print the page. </span></li>

enter the following parameters:</span> <div class="tip"><span class="tiptitle">Tip:</span> At
times, you might need to press F10 and Enter to view all parameters. You can
accept the default values for parameters that you see on the display that
are not included in the following list. For a detailed description of each
parameter, use the CL command finder in the iSeries Information Center. Search by
name for the CRTDEVPRT command and select Create Device Desc (Printer) (CRTDEVPRT)
command.</div>
