Overview This document is designed to provide basic information regarding printing from an IBM AS/400 server running the OS400 operating system V5R1 and higher to the Panasonic DP-2310, DP-3010, DP-3510, DP-3520, DP-4510, DP- 4520, DP-6010 and DP-6020 multi-functional devices. Since many volumes of data exist on printing from an AS/400, it is intended that this document only summarize the basics of printing specifically to these devices. To better understand the AS/400 printing

Some of the other TLA’s you might hear when discussing the AS/400 and printing are: SCS Printing = SNA Character String AFP Printing = Advanced Function Printing IPDS Printing = Intelligent Printer Data Stream These are different types of printer data streams that are supported by the AS/400. Each of these support different types of data, along with different types of equipment and each has it’s own unique characteristics. SCS has a limited number of commands, so this will limit

Printing to the DP-6010 For the purposes of this document, we will assume that a DP-6010 has already been setup with an IP Address, has the DA-PC300 installed and is functioning correctly on the 1 network. We will also assume the appropriate PTF’s have been installed on the AS/400. We will now go through the process needed to print to the DP-6010. Creating the output queue The first step is to create a remote output queue. The command to accomplish this is CRTOUTQ. This co

The screen that appears shows the various optional settings for the output queue. Note that the top of the screen shows the command you entered so you can be sure you are on the correct screen. Note that also on the bottom of the screen, the status line shows that on this screen, the parameter OUTQ is a required entry for this command to execute. Enter the name of the desired output queue. The default entry for Library is ‘*CURLIB’. This indicates in which library the OUTQ

Enter ‘*INTNETADR’ in this field and hit . This will indicate we will be sending the output of this queue to a TCP/IP address. After hitting another field will become visible, this is the ‘Remote printer queue’ field. Tab down to this field and enter something, we usually use ‘LPR’ or ‘LP’ as we do in Windows. It is important to also note that you need to include the single quote marks as well anywhere in this document a screen shot shows the quotes. Note two

On this screen, enter the following information. At ‘Writers to autostart’, enter a ‘1’. This will allow the print writer to start after we create the output queue and at any power up. Without this, we would have to start the writer manually using the ‘STRRMTWTR’ command. For ‘Connection type, enter ‘*IP’ and at ‘Destination type’ enter ‘*OTHER’. This will tell the AS/400 we want a standard IP connection. Be sure ‘Host print transform’ is set to ‘*YES’ (it is by default) and tab to

Hit and the other item that should be entered is just a text description. This will make it easier to identify while working with spooled files. Now hit and the output queue will be created. If nothing happens, look at the status area of the screen to see what information wasn’t entered. The example above shows ‘Messages pending on other displays.’ Means that you must hit the key to find the page with the information missing, which might be we f

Sending a print job to the DP-6010 First of all, we must generate a print job so that we can direct it to the correct output queue. For this discussion, we will print generic system information. Your situation may vary and in all likelihood, there will already be spooled files available to print, contact your system administrator to re-direct them. On the command line enter the ‘prtsysinf’ command and hit . After hitting , the following should be displayed with

As you can see by the status line, the information was printed successfully! Now we need to access those printed files to direct them to the newly created output queue. We do this by using the ‘WRKSPLF’ command (Work with Spooled Files). Select the file you want to change by entering a ‘2’ on the line next to it. This will bring up the ‘Change Spooled File Attributes’ screen. The first change we can make is what printer to send it to. On this field make sure it says ‘*OUTQ

Now we can change the output queue this job is directed to. For our example, enter ‘DP-6010’ in this field. Some other important items we can change on this screen is Output priority and Save file. Output priority will signify order of importance in the queue. The lower the number, the higher the priority. Save file will print the file but won’t delete it. Now hit the key and we’ll look at the other attributes we might want to change. - 14 -

Now to look at our output queue we use the ‘WRKOUTQ’ command. This will bring up a list of all output queues we could work with. Tab down to the ‘DP6010’ queue’s Opt line and enter a ‘5’. The Opt line is for entering the options listed directly above (in blue). This will let us ‘Work with’ the selected output queue. - 17 -

As with many AS/400 commands, there are shortcuts to get there faster. Instead of using the ‘WRKOUTQ’ command by itself, then choosing the correct queue and using the ‘5’ option, you can specify which queue you want to work with at the beginning. Just enter the command ‘WRKOUTQ DP6010’ and hit . Now you will get directly to the ‘Work with output queue’ just for the queue you wanted. - 18 -

Our example above has 3 files ‘queued’ for printing and their status is ‘RDY’, yet another TLA, it of course stands for ‘Ready to print’. On the Opt field, we can enter ‘2’ to change the attributes for that particular file or we could enter a ‘6’ to release it for printing. If it hasn’t printed already, enter a ‘6’ and hit . Congratulations! You have just successfully printed from the AS/400! A note about PTF’s. A Program Temporary Fix is a patch file provided
