6.3 - 5250 PRINTER
Auxiliary ports, USB logical ports and network printer ports are provided by the AX3000. These
ports are independently controlled so multiple printers can be attached to the AX3000.
These printers can be controlled by one of two protocols:
- Prt5250: this service (RFC 2877) is OS/400 oriented. A printer controlled by this service is
seen as a standard spooled system printer device.
- LPD: this service (RFCs 1048 and related) is provided as a standard feature by major
operating systems (Unix/Linux, NT, etc.). The main benefit of this protocol is an LPD printer
can be shared by different operating systems. But LPD restrictions are:
- The printer must be manually added to OS/400,
- The printer is accessed through an outqueue (and not a device),
- The printer job manipulation is not fully supported.
Normally the Prt5250 protocol is preferred. (No printer declaration is needed at OS/400 level). But
the LPD protocol allows the printer to be shared between different operating systems. Choose the
protocol which best fits your needs.
