To test IPDS printing:
1. If it is not already on, vary on the line description:
VRYCFG CFGTYPE(*LIN)
2. To start TCP/IP, enter
STRTCP
.
3. Verify that the iSeries TCP/IP interface is active. Use the
command:
WRKTCPSTS
and then select option 1.
4. Turn the printer on and wait until the printer control panel
displays “ETHERNET IS READY.”
5. To verify the printer is connected to iSeries,
ping
the printer
from an iSeries workstation with one of the following
commands:
PING ip_address
or
PING hostname
where ip_address
is the Internet address of the remote
system printer (the Ethernet Interface), and
hostname
is the
hostname you defined for the printer, if any.
• If the
ping
is not successful, refer to “Cannot PING The
Printer” on page 262.
• If the
ping
is successful, vary on the printer device
description with the command:
VRYCFG (printer_device) CFGTYPE(*DEV)
STATUS(*ON)
6. To use PSF to send an IPDS file to the printer, enter:
STRPRTWTR DEV (printer_device)
where
printer_device
is the name of the printer.
7. If you have problems printing, do the following:
• Print an Ethernet Test Page. Refer to your
