ASCII Attachment to iSeries
IBM OS/400 ASCII Printer Support
Infoprint 2085 and 2105 are supported as an ASCII (PCL) printer via a Workstation Customization Object under the Host Print
Transform (HPT) facility.
HPT transforms the AFPDS data stream to ASCII for printing to iSeries ASCII printers.
The ASCII data stream can be sent to this printer when attached to a Token-Ring or Ethernet LAN via TCP/IP. That connection can use
either of the following two TCP/IP drivers:
● OS/400 SNMP printer driver.
● OS/400 TCP/IP Line Printer Requester (LPR) and Line Printer Daemon (LPD), also known as remote output queue.
HPT support (AFP to ASCII) includes the following limitations:
● AFP graphics (GOCA) commands not supported
● Multiple-up not supported
● BGU and GDF graphics files not supported
● GDDM scalable fonts not supported
● CHRSIZE font keyword not supported
● Edge to edge not supported
● FIDELITY keyword not supported
● AFP to ASCII may need to be run in raster mode in order to produce accurate results
