Subject: RE: Postscript OUTQ

Thanks Charles and Scott.  It's made by Imagistics (Pitney 

Bowes and Oce

merger).  The configuration page that it prints out states 

that it's a

model ipc1-im8130.

I went to the following Web site:
http://www.imagistics.com/products/downloads.asp

And looked up the technical specs for the im8130, and it 
states that it 
supports PCL5e/PCL6 as it's standard print language, and also 
supports 
PostScript 3 via emulation.

I followed the link to 

http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas1455d75b61c75f
dcc86256a1e00532f93 

and was wondering if the model OC3133 setup would work since it's a 
multifunction device and is listed as PostScript 3.

Ignore the "PostScript" part of it.  You won't be using 
PostScript if you 
follow the instructions on that page.  Instead, look for 
something that 
discusses PCL5e or PCL6.  When I look at that page, I see 
that all of the 
Oc printers support PCL5e/PCL6, and they all should be set up 
using the 
*HP5SI MFRTYPMDL.

Also, I started looking through the config for the copier 

itself.  Under

the "raw job settings" it has settings for PCL font 

options.  If PCL is the

way to go then how do I specify that in the OUTQ config?  

Since it lists

"host-based" as N then do I set Host Print Transform to *NO?

No, "host-based" and "Host Print Transform" are two very 
different things. 
"host-based" means that the printer doesn't understand any printer 
languages -- with a host-based printer, you MUST use the 
Windows printer 
driver, or you're out of luck.  This is usually the case with 
very cheap 
single-user PC printers.  Yours is "host based = NO" which is a good 
thing.

Host Print Transform is software in i5/OS that lets the 
system transform 
it's native printer languages (SCS and AFPDS) to a PC printer 
language 
like PCL or PPDS.  That's how you tell it to convert to PCL 
(which is what 
you want.)

This is my best guess for how to set up the printer...
