Overview

This document is designed to provide basic information regarding printing

from an IBM AS/400 server running the OS400 operating system V5R1 and

higher to the Panasonic DP-2310, DP-3010, DP-3510, DP-3520, DP-4510, DP-

4520, DP-6010 and DP-6020 multi-functional devices. Since many volumes of

data exist on printing from an AS/400, it is intended that this document only

summarize the basics of printing specifically to these devices.

To better understand the AS/400 printing environment, there will be some new

terms and definitions you may or may not be familiar with. This document will

explain some of those as it progresses but will also provide these in an appendix

at the end. Some of these terms need to be defined first so let’s start with those

that cause the most head-scratching, the TLA’s (Three Letter Acronyms).

All of the command structures within the operating system can be broken down

to a TLA or an XTLA (eXtended Three Letter Acronym). When these TLA’s are

combined, they form a command that can be typed on the command line to

execute an internal program or menu. Some of these are:

CFG = Configure

CRT = Create

WRK = Work with

END = End or stop

STR = Start

GO = Go to a menu

Some of the various menus or programs also use TLA’s or XTLA’s:

STS = Status program

DEVD = Device Description program

WTR = Printer Writer program

And the devices that exist are also referenced in the same manner:

OUTQ = Output Queue

PTR = Printer

SPLF = Spooled Files

When you put these items together, you form a command structure. An example

would be:

CRTOUTQ = create and output queue

WRKSPLF= work with spooled files

WRKCFGSTS = Work with Configured Status’

Some of the other TLA’s you might hear when discussing the AS/400 and printing are:

SCS Printing = SNA Character String

AFP Printing = Advanced Function Printing

IPDS Printing = Intelligent Printer Data Stream

These are different types of printer data streams that are supported by the AS/400. Each of

these support different types of data, along with different types of equipment and each has it’s

own unique characteristics. SCS has a limited number of commands, so this will limit the

amount of formatting you can do with the output. IPDS supports an extremely complex set of

commands, so it will allow various formatting options. As you can see, this will affect the end

result requirements dramatically.

SCS, being a simple data stream is primarily utilized by line printers. It supports a feature set

comprising of overstrikes, margins, sub and super-script text, underscores and the like. While

AFP data streams includes support for objects and text. This means it supports forms

processing, overlays and various additional fonts. It is generally known that IPDS printers

support AFP data streams as well.

Since IPDS is more complex, it supports both text and data as well as forms, fonts and overlays.

It also supports bi-directional communications between the OS and the printer. IPDS enabled

printers can supply various information such as job status, error recovery and reporting as well

as resource management of things such as fonts, forms etc.

Host Print Transform

For users who don’t need all of the advanced printing features of AFP and/or IPDS, or

who don’t want to spend the extra dollars required to obtain these more expensive printers, HPT

is included in all versions of the base operating system. Whereas IPDS printers process the

data stream after it’s sent to the printer, HPT’s data stream is processed on the AS/400 and

then sent to the printer as ASCII text. While this does add to the workload of the AS/400 itself, it

will support any printer that can interpret or print ASCII (plain text). This allows the printer to be

attached to the AS/400 in various ways. This can be a Twinaxial connection (dual coaxial cable

for direct connection to the AS/400), or it can be attached directly to a workstation or terminal or

another AS/400. Or it can be a LAN connection, such as our DP-35/45/6010. Since it is ASCII

that is being sent, support the most popular page description languages, PCL and PostScript,

exists. This can be advantageous for embedding commands for formatting data within the print

stream.

Printing to the DP-6010

For the purposes of this document, we will assume that a DP-6010 has already been

setup with an IP Address, has the DA-PC300 installed and is functioning correctly on the

network. We will also assume the appropriate PTF’s1have been installed on the AS/400. We

will now go through the process needed to print to the DP-6010.

Creating the output queue

The first step is to create a remote output queue. The command to accomplish this is

CRTOUTQ. This command will also create the print writer object with the same name as the

output queue. At the command line of the AS/400, type CRTOUTQ and hit <Enter>.

This screen is the first menu screen shown after login. Typing the number of the listed menu

item will open that menu or if you know the command structure, typing it will accomplish the

same tasks.

1. Program Temporary Fix (yet another TLA!). This is an upgrade or service pack type file installed to the OS400 operating system.

See page 19 for more information.

- 5 -

The screen that appears shows the various optional settings for the output queue. Note that the

top of the screen shows the command you entered so you can be sure you are on the correct

screen.

Note that also on the bottom of the screen, the status line shows that on this screen, the

parameter OUTQ is a required entry for this command to execute. Enter the name of the

desired output queue. The default entry for Library is ‘*CURLIB’. This indicates in which library

the OUTQ will be created and usually isn’t changed unless the system administrator deems it

necessary. For this example, our OUTQ is to be called ‘DP6010’. Upon entering the name,

press the <TAB> key to proceed down to the ‘Remote system’ field.

- 6 -

Enter ‘*INTNETADR’ in this field and hit <Enter>. This will indicate we will be sending the

output of this queue to a TCP/IP address. After hitting <Enter> another field will become visible,

this is the ‘Remote printer queue’ field. Tab down to this field and enter something, we usually

use ‘LPR’ or ‘LP’ as we do in Windows. It is important to also note that you need to include the

single quote marks as well anywhere in this document a screen shot shows the quotes.

Note two other things on this screen. The bottom menu descriptions for the function keys has

the ‘F10’ listed for additional parameters and the word ‘More…’ in the lower right corner. These

two items are important to note that they provide access to the rest of the parameters needed to

properly configure the queue. Anytime the ‘More…’ is listed on the bottom right, hitting the

<Page Down> key will change to the next page to access those additional parameters. So you

can use the <Page Down> and <Page Up> keys to scroll through the pages to be sure you have

entered all the pertinent information prior to hitting <enter> to complete the creation of the

queue. At this point, hit the <Page Down> key to get to the next page.

- 7 -

On this screen, enter the following information. At ‘Writers to autostart’, enter a ‘1’. This will

allow the print writer to start after we create the output queue and at any power up. Without this,

we would have to start the writer manually using the ‘STRRMTWTR’ command. For

‘Connection type, enter ‘*IP’ and at ‘Destination type’ enter ‘*OTHER’. This will tell the AS/400

we want a standard IP connection. Be sure ‘Host print transform’ is set to ‘*YES’ (it is by

default) and tab to the ‘Manufacturer type and model’ field. The default choice is ‘*IBM42011’.

Now hit <F4>.

- 8 -

Hitting <F4> allows you to see the choices for this particular field. You could use the <F4> key

for each choice to see the available options for that particular field. Use the <Page Down> key

to scroll the listing and you will find the choices for our devices.

- 9 -

Type in ‘*PANASONIC6010’ and hit <Enter>. You will now see the previous screen again with

the new information you have chosen. Now tab down to ‘Internet address’ and enter the IP

Address of the machine within the single quotes.
