Chapter 8 Configuring The iSeries For Printing
228
Configuring A TCP/IP Host Table Entry
Although creating a TCP/IP host table entry is optional, it is a good
idea to take this step. Add the iSeries name and the IP address of
the LAN adapter to the “Host Table Entries.”
Configuring The iSeries For Printing
To configure an iSeries for printing, you must:
• set up the printing capability, and
• verify the setup with a print job.
You will need the following information:
Remote Printer Queue name
Set to ‘d1prn’ through ‘d8prn’.
NOTE: The Remote Printer Queue name must be in lowercase
letters. Do not use “PASS.”
NOTE: When the IPDS feature is installed, the queue name
‘d4prn’ is not available.
IP Address
The IP address for the Ethernet Interface.
Setting Up Printing For ASCII Files
The next step is to set up the remote printing capability. There are
two ways to do this: you can either specify the LPR parameters
manually each time you send a file to the printer, or use Remote
Writer and a remote output queue for automatic printing to the
printer.
