ETHERNET TO TWINAX/COAX PRINT SERVER
a. Print Configuration Report: Check this option if you want to have the
print server’s configuration report printed on the printer attached to this
port. The configuration report is printed each time the print server is
powered-on or reset, and it lists the current values of the unit’s
configuration parameters. An unchecked box is the default setting.
b. Busy on Commands: The twinax protocol requires printers to report
BUSY after a command is received. Some faster IBM and compatible
printers do not do this. Choose No to disable checking for BUSY. The
default setting is Yes.
c. Busy on Data: The twinax protocol requires printers to report BUSY after
data is received. Some faster IBM and compatible printers do not do this.
Choose No to disable checking for BUSY. The default setting is Yes.
d. IBM 5256 Emulation: A true IBM 5256 printer will halt and report an
error when a LPI command is received. However, some printers such as
the IBM 5262, emulate a 5256 printer, and will receive LPI commands.
You may choose to Send LPI or Don’t send LPI (which is the default).
6. If there are any other configuration changes you wish to make, do so. Then
click on the Apply Changes button and reset the print server to complete the
process.

server, then click on the Configure button, or double-click on the desired
print server.
2. After performing the necessary protocol configurations (if not already
completed), click on the Printer Ports/Emulations button.
3. Click on the radio button to the left of the Coax Port button to activate the
3270-coax port.
4. Click on either the IPDS or SCS radio button to the right of the Coax Port
button to indicate which type of printer is attached to the print server.
5. Click on the Coax Port button to display the 3270-coax port configuration
options.
