Step 4 Modify the Auto-created Twinax Device Description or Use CRTDEVPRT to Create
a Printer Device Description

parameters to enable full IPDS printing:
An example of a device description for Twinax printing is shown below. The italicized lines show the parame-
ters which must be changed for sending IPDS jobs. Use
CRTDEVPRT to create the device description if you
did not use auto-config on the AS/400.
Note: Examples showing parameters displayed on an AS/400 may be different than the parameters
displayed on your system. Examples are shown with V5R2 parameters.
