Not sure of the other stuff, but the ASCII control sequence, I believe,
should be in the printer's manual.
Thanks,

| Subject: Default to printer drawer 3 in WSCST requires rocket
science |
>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Any rocket scientists out there? I have searched the archives and googled.
I have downloaded the Workstation Customization Programming manual and the
IBM AS/400 Printing IV redbook. All I want to do is to have our prints to
Savin 9935DPE laser to always use paper from drawer #3. That doesn't seem
to unreasonable, does it? The first three drawers all have 8.5x11 paper,
same orientation, but the first two drawers hold colored paper for faxes,
and drawer 3 holds white paper for copying and normal printing. (FYI,
drawer 4 holds 11x17.)
A little background: I created a remote outq via
CRTOUTQ OUTQ(QUSRSYS/PRT49IP) RMTSYS(*INTNETADR) RMTPRTQ(QUSER)
AUTOSTRWTR(1) CNNTYPE(*IP) DESTTYPE(*OTHER) TRANSFORM(*YES)
MFRTYPMDL(*HP5SI) INTNETADR('172.16.100.212')
(I did find IBM documentation that indicated to use *HP5SI for this
printer.)
I note that there are no drawer options here. Do some research, and it
appears that I need to customize the *HP5SI workstation customization
object. I download those two books, scan for drawer, find DWRSLT & DWRNBR.
Can't use DWRSLT because it is limited to drawer #1 or #2, and I need
drawer
#3, so DWRNBR is required. So here's where the "rocket scientist" kicks
in:
Selecting Paper Drawer Number (DWRNBR) Tag
The DWRNBR (select paper drawer number) tag selects the
printer paper drawer. The drawer number is a variable
in the ASCII control sequence. This tag is only used if
the drawer number is greater than two (2). The syntax
for this tag is:
:DWRNBR
VAROFFSET = variable offset in control sequence
VARLEN = variable length
VARTYPE = HIGHLOW|LOWHIGH|CHRDEC|CHRHEX|
DATA = ASCII control sequence.
I have omitted the descriptions for the parameters. It is greek anyway.
No
clues are given for the ASCII control sequence codes. FWIW, I found this
reference on page 175 in the OS/400 Workstation Customization Programming
V4R3 manual.
