Installing under OS/390
146 AX3000 Models 80 and 85 - User's Manual
These printers can be controlled by one of two protocols:
- Prt3270: 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.
This chapter describes only the Prt3270 protocol.
To set the Prt3270 service, enter the AX3000 Set-Up and select [Configuration]-[Aux. Ports]-
[xxx].
In the displayed box, set the "Associated Service" to "Prt3270", then select "Net Service
Parameters". The following box is displayed:
These parameters are:
- Server: selected from the server table (see Chapter 3.1.4). A new server can be added by
selecting 'IP address' or 'Server Name'.
- TCP PORT: telnet port of the S/390 server. Default is 23.
- LU Name: system printer name.
- Auto-Connection: set to yes.
- Auto-Reconnection: set to yes.
- Character Set: the possible values are:
- National (characters are keyboard nationality dependent),
- Multinational.
- A specific keyboard nationality (American, French…).
- NL=CR+NL Filter: The line feed character (0Ah) can be mapped to carriage return + line
feed (0Dh + 0Ah),
- Enhanced parameters: see Appendix A.7.3.
- Pre-print String: character string sent before the printing.
- Post-print String: character string sent after an the printing (for example "\0C" is a form
feed)
Note 1: If "Choose Portrait/Landscape" is enabled (see Appendix A.10.2), the parameter "Pre-print
String" is replaced by the two parameters "Portrait Pre-print String" and "Landscape Pre-print
String".
Note 2: if the auxiliary port used for printing is a serial port, set the 'Printer' operating mode and set
the associated parameters (baud rate, handshake, etc).
