All of the following configuration steps carried out on the System i may require "create" or
"change" authority.
1. Make sure the printer is set up.

3. Set TCP/IP addresses for the printer, such as an IP address, gateway address, or subnet
mask. See the manual explaining the network functions provided by the supplier.
4. If the printer and System i are not on the same LAN segment, verify that there is a route
defined in the TCP/IP route list on the System i. If necessary, use the ADDTCPRTE
command on the System i to create a route definition.

9. Test your configuration.
For details about how to test your configuration, see page 24 "Verifying the IPDS Configuration
on System i".

correctly.
