RE: AS/400 & Digital Copiers as Printers Questions...

We have 5 Konica 7060 digital copiers attached to our network that are
accessible as printers from both our NT network and the AS/400.  They are
remote writers on the AS/400.  Had to kinda stumble through the 400 setup as
the manual was not real helpful and Danka (who we got copiers from) had
never installed on AS/400 but they knew it could be done (the manual said
so!!!).  The only issue is that somtimes the print jobs from the 400 seem to
hang (i.e. the 400 print goes to SND status and hangs).  We just reboot the
attached controller (i.e. a PC) and it goes on just fine.

Hi Folks !

We have one of those "mombo" Xerox copiers that is JUST about at the end
of the road. Still works but Xerox drops maintenance on it this
September 1 (must be a Y2K thing <BG>...

Sooo, we've been looking at digital copiers with the requirement that
they be able to interface with the AS/400 and PC's (no network YET but
coming latter this year...).

Anyone doing this and have any comments pro or con ?

i.e.

- How are you doing the connection ?
- Does it "behave well"/interface well with the AS/400 ?
- Can the AS/400 manage it effectively ?

etc.

TIA !

Chuck
