Requirements
Contact technical support to obtain the latest PTFs for PSF/400.
For IPDS printing, you also need to install the IPDS option for the
printer.
Configuration Checklist
NOTE: All of the following configuration steps carried out on the
AS/400 may require “create” or “change” authority.
1. If you have not already done so, set up the printer and install
the NIC. See “Configuration Using The Control Panel” on
page 24.
2. Using the printer control panel, set up the printer for IPDS by
setting the parameters and values shown in Table 4.
3. Set TCP/IP addresses for the printer, such as an IP Address,
Gateway Address, or Subnet Mask. See “Configuration Tools”
on page 21.
4. If the printer and AS/400 are not on the same LAN segment,
verify there is a route defined in the TCP/IP route list. If
necessary, use the ADDTCPRTE command to create a route
definition. You need this if your printer is somewhere other than
on a local segment.
5. You need the IP address of the NIC to configure the NIC.
6. If you have not done so yet, create a line description for your
NIC. See “Developing Line Descriptions With CRTLINETH” on
page 143.
