Configuring 5250 Printer Sessions

Once you have configured your 5250 Display Sessions, it is time to define

up to three host printer sessions. This can be handy if you use different

printers for various pre-printed forms.

Enter the name of the printer session (this will be the name that the AS/400

uses for this printer session. You will also enter the IP address of the

AS/400.

Select Host Print Transform (recommended) to allow the AS/400 to format

your print jobs. If you use Host print transform, you will need to enter the

type of printer in the iSeries Printer box.

NOTE: you must enter the printer type exactly as the AS/400 lists it. For

example, enter *IBM2380 for an IBM 2380 Personal Printer Series II or

enter *HP4 for an HP Laserjet 4 or compatible. See the Help for this screen

to scroll through a listing of AS/400 supported printers.

HINT: you can “Cut and Paste” from this list to avoid mistakes.

Next, you will select which “logical” printer to assign to this printer session.

If you only have access to one printer from here, leave this at Default.

Select Done to save your entries.

Network Settings

 The Unit Network Name must be unique in order for

DNS servers to be able to identify this unit on the

network.

 Choose Dynamic IP Address to use DHCP to

automatically set the unit’s network address, netmask,

etc. (recommended).

 Choose Static IP Address if you wish to fill in your own

network parameters. If you do so, fill in the appropriate

information under IP Address, Netmask, Gateway and

DNS Server.
