the WSCO. Select *IBM6500-v for Proprinter Emulation

Manufacturer Type Model based on the data type.

a.

Report printing, text only, no IGP or barcodes.

Manufacturer Type Model

emulation must also be switched to Proprinter emulation.
Be sure to save the printer emulation as the power-up
configuration.

Alternate selection:

Manufacturer Type Model

= *IBM6500EP

Workstation Customizing Object = *NONE

Since IBM6500EP is an Epson emulation, the printer
emulation must be also switched to Epson emulation. Be
sure to save the printer emulation as the power-up
configuration.

PGL or VGL program.

Manufacturer Type Model

This selects a generic object that passes the data
unchanged without any escape codes to the printer. Text
files will print in the currently selected printer configuration,
cpi, lpi, and form length. OS/400 versions below V3R7 may
not have this selection and may require manual creation of
a generic WSCST. Please contact your IBM representative
for assistance.

NOTE: For occasional text reports, create a printer configuration

for each report and use the [Job Select] key to select a
report configuration.
