System Attachment

When your Intermate LX T-04 is configured, and the configuration is verified
by a test printout, it is time to connect it to the IBM host.

The AS/400 configuration is easiest done using the Auto Configuration. The
LX T-04 then configures as a

*4214

printer device.

Make sure that the printer is switched off and the T-cable and the twinax cables
are properly attached.
Then follow these steps to configure your AS/400 and the LX T-04.

1.

Find a free device address by printing a device address chart using the
CL command:

PRTDEVADR

2.

Set the device address (0-6) on the LX T-04's address switch.

3.

Enable Auto Configuration using the CL command:

CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QAUTOCFG) VALUE('1')

4.

Connect the LX T-04 to the network and switch the printer ON.
If the device address has been changed from another valid value (0-6),
you must confirm by stepping the address switch one step forward, and
then back. The new device address is confirmed by a printed message.

5.

Verify that the AS/400 has detected a new device type

*4214

by using

the CL command

WRKDEVD PRT*

and pressing F5 (refresh)

continuously.

6.

Start the Printer Writer for the device:

STRPRTWTR DEV(PRT08)
