2 LPR/LPD printing using TCP/IP Once these parameters have been configured, and the basic TCP/IP installation of the print server has been completed, printing from AS/400 will be possible. This will use the AS/400 Host Print Transform to format and translate EBCDIC data to the printer language selected. If 3812-1 emulation is required then the TCP/IP connection described in the “SCS/DCA Printing using TCP/IP” section, should be considered. Requirements: 1. AS/400 version > 3.
3. AFP/IPDS (PSF) printing using TCP/IP This chapter provides configuration guidelines for OS/400 version 3.7 or higher. The versions may differ somewhat in the setup. Requirements: Before IPDS printing using TCP/IP can be accomplished, the following points need to be checked: TGNet print server with IPDS capability TCP/IP is installed and enabled The relevant PTFs are applied Details on how to verify these items can be found on the internet. Consult the following IBM web address for details: www.

4 SCS/DCA printing using TCP/IP Once these parameters have been configured, and the basic TCP/IP installation of the print server (equipped with an FSL top) has been completed, direct SCS/DCA will be possible. This will off-load the AS/400 as Host Print Transform is not used. Requirements: 2. AS/400 version 3.1 with TCP/IP installed and configured 3. TGNet print server with 5250 emulation 4.1 Create a remote output queue The CRTOUTQ command is used to create a Remote output queue.
Appendix A: Supported TG printers for LPR printing (from IBM Technote No. 21801135) - Information for not listed printer models available on request – contact your TG representative Note: The printer emulation (set from the printer panel) must match the set MFRTYPMDL.
Appendix B: WSCST Object for TG Line Matrix printers A Workstation Customization File (WSCST) can be used with either of the above LANAttach methods. This custom Host Print Transform converts the data to Tally ANSI emulation for improved print-format capability with the TallyGenicom LIDM printers. (Recommended method for TallyGenicom T60xx, T62xx, and 63xx LIDM printers (Std and LG Series)). Requirements: Tally Workstation Customization File (t6wscst.savf).
