c) Using the Printer
The Prt5250 service is a client service. This means that each Prt5250 auxiliary port opens a
connection to the AS/400 when the AX3000 is powered-on. From the AS/400, a printer is available
once the associated Prt5250 connection is established.
A printer handled through the Prt5250 service is seen as a standard spooled OS/400 printer and is
managed through standard system commands:
===> GO PRINTER
d) In Event of Problems
Nothing is printed: this is a quick test to check the hardware (AX3000 parallel/serial port, cable
and printer):
- In the AX3000 Set-Up, select [Configuration]-[Ports]-[xxx]. Within the displayed box,
select the [TEST] button.
- A test banner should be printed.
If not there is a basic hardware problem that needs to be fixed. Check cable, check cable is
attached to correct port in back of AX3000 etc.
When the AX3000 printer is not "seen" by the OS/400 spooler the following problems can be
suspected.
To establish why a Prt5250 session has been refused, enter the AX3000 Set-Up and select the
menu [Diagnostics]-[Connections].
Within the displayed dialog box, click the [Refresh] button. Read the information displayed for the
printer port.
Note: if no information is displayed, double-check that the auxiliary port is associated with the right
AS/400 host.
When the connection status continually cycles through CLOSED to CONNECT and there is no
error number displayed at the end of the line, the device name is already used by another
connection.
If the Prt5250 connection status is 'closed' in the displayed box, an error number is displayed at the
end of the line.
The main error codes are:
- 8903 (Device not valid for session): the printer name is used for another connection.
- 8925 (Creation of device failed): during the printer creation operation, at least one parameter
is detected wrong (ex.: non-existing printer model).
- 8928 (Change of device failed): during the printer modification operation (reconnection with
different parameters), at least one parameter is detected wrong (ex.: non-existing printer
model).
- 8930 (Message queue does not exist.): the message queue or its library doesn't exist.
- AX01 (Terminal type not recognized): the TERM variable (by default IBM-3812-1) associated
with the AX3000 auxiliary port is not correct.
