Section 1 Introduction NetWare Windows Based on the ThinServer technology, the AXIS 570/670 is a LAN attached multiprotocol print server that prints IBM and ASCII data streams to any ASCII printer. The AXIS 570/670 is ideal for IBM Mainframe and AS/400 sites that are migrating from pure IBM networks to LAN environments.

Section 1: Introduction Flexibility Windows NetWare OS/2 Macintosh UNIX AXIS 570/670 User’s Manual In the IBM Mainframe and AS/400 environment, the AXIS 570/670 can emulate IBM twinax and coax print and control functionality. This means that the AXIS 570/670 can effectively replace coax/twinax attached printers and control units on the LAN. A single IBM data stream can be directed to any of the two high-speed parallel printer ports, or the serial printer port, using TCP/IP or SNA transport protocols.

UNIX AXIS 570/670 User’s Manual HP JetAdmin does not support serial printer ports. If you must change the default settings of the serial printer port of the AXIS 570/670, it is recommended that you use the AXIS NetPilot. This will become necessary when you are installing a printer on your serial port.

In order to maintain backward compatibility and increase security, many parameters that are not related to the IBM printing operation have to be preceded by the %CONFIG++ command. When all parameters are set, enter %CONFIG--. The parameters requiring %CONFIG++ are clearly marked in the parameter listing on the following pages.

The AXIS 570/670 solution to this problem is to assign a character set conversion filter to a logical printer, and then link that logical printer to the host causing the problem. You select your desired conversion filter by setting the Character Set Conversion (PRx_CSET) parameter. The output from the conversion filter is always IBM PC Set 2 (Code Page 437), and this is the character set the printer must be set up for.

They may be specified individually for each logical printer. IBM Mainframe All strings are entered as hexadecimal byte values.
PAGE 198
All strings must be entered as hexadecimal byte values, and each match and substitute string must be preceded by a count byte. You substitute command strings by editing the String Substitutions (PRx_STR) parameter. Assume that you want to replace the UNIX New Line (hex 0A) with an ASCII NewLine (hex 0D 0A) for logical printer PR1. 2. Enter the string 01 0A 02 0D 0A in the String Substitutions text field.

The AXIS 570/670 logical printers can translate ASCII print data into PostScript format. This makes it possible to print with a PostScript printer from a host that does not support PostScript. The conversion is selected by activating a filter that converts ASCII data into Postscript. This filter can be activated individually for each logical printer. Activate your desired filter by setting the Printing Language Translation (PRx_FILT) parameter.

Redirecting Print Jobs when a printer is busy If print data is received for a printer that is already busy, the host must wait. However, it is possible to use a logical printer to redirect the print data to another logical printer when the target printer is busy. If the second printer is also busy, the host must wait until the target printer is ready. Example: Follow the instructions below to redirect PR1 print jobs to PR3, when the printer assigned to PR1 is busy: 1. Select the Printer1 Web page. 2.

IBM Mainframe IBM AS/400 208 Appendix A: SNA Parameter Overview AXIS 570/670 User’s Manual Communication Parameters In most environments, the basic communication parameters need to be customized in order to establish a communication link to the host system. This includes setting the Host MAC Address and Host Name parameters in the Print Server. In this chapter you will find instructions on how to update these parameters.
PAGE 210
The following tables summarize SNA host communication parameters that must be considered when installing the AXIS 570/670. The parameters are presented as: • Common Mainframe and AS/400 parameters • Mainframe specific parameters • AS/400 specific parameters Common Mainframe & AS/400 Parameters Parameter Name Default Description DEVICE_EMUL Control Unit Device Emulation 3174 This parameter controls the Control Unit emulation mode. When set to 3174, the Print Server will appear as a 3174 PU 2.

Appendix C Extended IBM Printer Emulation When printing from an IBM host, the AXIS 570/670 allows you to make use of the following printer functions not found in standard IBM printers: • Configuration Mode • Hex Transparency • User Defined Strings • String Substitutions • Bar Codes • Font Selection. This appendix provides a brief overview of some of these functions. Please refer to the AXIS 570/670 Technical Reference (supplied on the AXIS Online CD) for further information.
PAGE 223
222 Appendix C: Extended IBM Printer Emulation Font Selection IBM Mainframe Notes: AXIS 570/670 User’s Manual Fonts can be selected directly by FGID (Extended Emulation commands or SCS SFG commands) or indirectly by pitch SCS SCD/SPD commands. ❏ SFG control code is only supported by Twinax page printer emualations. ❏ Matrix printers only support a few fonts. Hex Transparency The Transparency function allows you to send ASCII data to the printer directly from the host application.
PAGE 224
The bar code function gives you easy access to a range of standard bar code types resident in the AXIS 570/670. Bar codes can only be printed on PCL printers. Before the bar codes can be printed, a bar code format has to be defined. This format sets the type and size of the bar code to be printed. Up to 16 such formats can be predefined. The definitions are made by setting up the BAR parameter.

A selection of an unsupported FGID value will result in a substitution to a default font. The AXIS 570/670 uses the same default fonts as the emulated IBM printers.
PAGE 254
Typographical Fonts This section deals with font width selections for typographical (proportional pitch) fonts. Note that when an unsupported typographical font (FGID range 512 65534) is selected, the resulting font will be a fixed pitch (see the table on the previous page), and the selected font width value will be ignored.

Appendix H: DBCS Support AXIS 570/670 User’s Manual Configuring the AXIS 570/670 A number of printer emulations exist for DBCS printing and you are advised to set the correct system language. To do this, follow the instructions below: 1. Perform steps 1-7 as detailed in Configuring the AXIS 570/670, on page 54. IBM Mainframe IBM AS/400 256 2.

Amending Device Features After automatic setup, it may be necessary to change the Device features and Last Code Point of the printer device. Failure to do so may cause corruption within your print data. Follow the instructions below, to set the appropriate Device features and Last Code Point for your chosen printer device: 1. Make sure that the writer is stopped by typing ENDWTR xxxxPRT01 on the AS/400 command line, where xxxxPRT01 is the printer device name. Press ENTER. 2.

The Config File The left-hand column shows the parameters and their default values as they appear in the config file and the right-hand column shows the name of the parameters as they appear in the internal Web pages. After you have changed them, most parameters take effect for the next print job. If Requires Restart appears in a parameter description, you must restart the AXIS 570/670, before the new setting for that parameter takes effect.
