516 IBM Eserver i5 and iSeries System Handbook

򐂰 Using iSeries Navigator and APIs, a new session identifier allows better

management and tracking of iSeries NetServer sessions. This is extremely

important in a Windows Terminal Serving environment where many users

have sessions through a single Windows system. You can end sessions or

observe properties on single sessions rather than all the sessions coming

from a single system.

򐂰 Windows NT Background services can access the iSeries NetServer without

user intervention.

򐂰 Printer Shares can be published in Directory Services (Lightweight Directory

Access Protocol (LDAP)) for use by Windows 2000 systems using

Active

Directory

to find printers.

򐂰 iSeries support for the Windows Network Neighborhood program complies

with the Common Internet File System (CIFS) standard currently proposed by

Microsoft.

Network printing support

Distributed print support provides a connection to local area network

(LAN)-attached ASCII printers and support for Advanced Function printers. The

iSeries server provides a seamless path for customers to direct printed output

through an iSeries network and to other print servers. You can use Systems

Network Architecture (SNA) or TCP/IP protocols (line printer requester/line

printer daemon (LPR/LPD)) to transport the spooled file and its attributes to the

remote system.

This integrated i5/OS and OS/400 function supports the printing of text, images,

graphics, barcodes, electronic forms, multiple fonts, logos, signatures, and more.

These formats provide the basis for business solutions such as business reports,

preprinted forms, customer statements and invoices, and letters. Double byte

character set (DBCS) documents that enable printing of Chinese, Korean,

Japanese, or Thai characters are also supported.

i5/OS and OS/400 supports IBM and non-IBM printers, which vary in price,

function, speed, and use.

Host print transform

Most printers are designed to work with a specific data stream. i5/OS and

OS/400 includes a function to automatically transform the program-generated

data stream to that required by the printer to which it is sent. It is not necessary
