Re: Xerox Document Center, ThankYou, and new info & Magellan Tiff prob -- MIDRANGE-L

Thank you Dave and Dawn for your help, I was able to get the ST332DC and
N4025 to work just fine.

The N4025 is printing twice as fast as the HP8000 it was to replace, but the
new catch is that this customer is printing scanned images from Magellan
Spyview in a Tiff format (bypassing the ascii to PCL conversion) and the
HP8000 has a Xinonics card (now called a Xip Print card) that can enable the
HP to print these tiffs twice as fast as the N4025 and since the AS400
doesnt have to convert the Tiffs to PCL the batch job runs in 1 hour, where
as if it has to convert them to PCL it runs 7 hours. Go figure...

If anyone is printing scanned images look into the HP and a Xip Print card
from www.ggx.com

Any way I did get some new info from Xerox support and have included the 4
emails below:

1. Drawer selection for AS/400
2. How to Invoke Xerox DC printer features from an AS/400
3. Subject: Revised - How to lan fax from an AS/400
4. Subject: How to supress the banner sheet from an AS/400

( I believe this info is more for the 332DC and may not be needed for the
newer N4025 line)

I also received a power point presentaion on configuring the 332DC but
rather then attach it to everyone I put it on my web site if your interested
in downloading it.   http://www.astecservices.com/as400xerox.htm

Subject: Drawer selection for AS/400
Sent: Friday, December 10, 1999 6:51 PM
To: USA DC220 230

The following instructions are for configuring an AS/400 remote output queue
to use a Workstation Customizing Object for
utilizing the DC220/230/332/340 paper trays 1 thru 4. These steps were
proven successful for customers running OS/400 V4R3.
The CSC does not have access to V4R3.  At this time we cannot test this
procedure with the OS version we do have (V3R1).
Therefore we offer this information as-is to use at your own risk.

1. At the command prompt type RTVWSCST and press the F4 key.
2. Type *TRANSFORM for the device type, and press the ENTER key.
3. Tab down to the next line "Manufacturer type and model" and press the F4
key.
4. Select HP5SI, press the ENTER key.
5. Tab down to the next line and name your "SOURCE MEMBER",  eg. myhp5.
6. Tab down to the next line and select the library you wish to create the
Customizing Object in.
7. The text description is optional. Next press the ENTER key.
8. You should receive a confirmation of the Source member added to the
target library you selected.

Subject: How to Invoke Xerox DC printer features from an AS/400

Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 1999 1:38 PM
To: USA DC220 230; USA DC240 265

This document describes a particular method of invoking special features of
a Xerox Document Centre when printing from an IBM AS/400 computer.   It
assumes that a print queue already exists (see our notes on CRTOUTQ for
creating an output queue if one does not exist).  The following procedures
were tested on an AS/400, using OS/400 version 3 release 1.  References are
included at the  end of this document.

If a customer wishes to be able to print from another tray or utilize other
features of a Xerox Document Centre printer, they can use a Workstation
Customizing Object.
Before starting, we suggest that you first download the PDL Reference Guide
from the list of DCTips (the DCTips link is found under "More Support") at
http://www.CentreWare.com.
Next, log into an AS/400 using 5250 terminal emulation.
Create the Workstation Customizing Object  in a library (other than the
general QGPL library) and save it in the same library, using the following
steps:

1. At the command prompt type RTVWSCST command, and press the F4 key.
2. Type *TRANSFORM for the device type, and press the ENTER key.
3. Tab down to the next line "Manufacturer type and model" and press the F4
key.
4. You can select XRX4235, XRX4220MRP, HP4, or HP5SI, (note the
xrx4235,xrx4220mrp, and hp5si
     use hp5 pcl codes), press the ENTER key.
5. Tab down to the next line and name your "SOURCE MEMBER",  eg. myhp5.
6. Tab down to the next line and select the library you wish to create the
Customizing Object in.
7. The text description is optional. Next press the ENTER key.
8. You should receive a confirmation of the Source member added to the
target library you selected.
9. At the command line type STRSEU and press F4
10. At the "SOURCE FILE" type in QTXTSRC.
11. Tab down to the next line and at the "LIBRARY" put in the library you
selected in step 6.
12. Tab down to the next line and at the "Source member" type in *SELECT
13. Tab to the source member you created and select option 2 for edit and
press ENTER.
14. You are now in the SEU editor,  here you can modify the data streams in
HEX code.

For example if you wish to make any modifications to your trays, you would
page down to DWRSLT:
tag.

15. After you make the changes press F3 key.
16. At the "Change/create member" line select Y
17. Leave everything else default and press the ENTER key.
18. At the command line type CRTWSCST and press F4
19. At the "WSCST" line type in a name for your Workstation Customizing
Object.
20. Tab down to the next line and put in the Library you want to save the
Customizing in.
21. Tab down to the next line, at the "Source member" type in the name of
the Source member from step 5.
22. Press F10 for additional keys.
23. Under Additional Parameters  tab down to "Source file" and type in
QTXTSRC.
24. Tab down to the next line, at the "Library" put in the name of the
library you created the object in, from step 6
25. Leave the rest default and press the ENTER key.
26. You should receive a confirmation that the  Customization Object was
created successfully.

Before you can use the Customized Workstation Object you will have to stop
the writer.

27. From the command line type WRKWTR  WTR(*ALL)  ASTLVL(*INTERMED) and
press ENTER.
28. If you find the print writer and the status is not END , type Option 4
(END) next to the remote output queue
      and press F4.
29. Go the the "When to end writer" and type *IMMED and press the ENTER key.
30. At the command line type CHGOUTQ and press F4.
31. Put in your remote output queue name and the name of the library its
created in.
32. Press F10 for additional parameters.
33. Page down to the "Workstation customizing object" line, if you don't see
press F9.
34. At the "Workstation customizing object" line type in you object name.
35. Press the ENTER key to save.

To verify if you are using the Workstation Customizing Object specified,
type the following at the command line:

36. WRKOUTQ
37. Use option 8 for your remote output queue and scoll down to the
Workstation Customizing Object line and see if its there.

Note:  The HP5 PCL driver is set up only to use 2 drawers and an envelope
drawer.   For AS/400 V3 or greater you need
            to use a new drawer select tag.
            The DWRNBR (Drawer number) tag selects the printer the output
paper drawer for the printer.
            This tag is only used if the drawer has a number of three or
greater.  For drawer numbers of one or two, the tag
            DWRSLT is used.  The syntax for DWRNBR tag is.

                    :DWRNBR
                         VAROFFSET= Offset to varibale in PCL5
                         VARLEN= Variable length
                         VARTYPE= Variable type HIGH|LOWHIGH|CHRDEC|CHRHEX
                         DATA= ASCII control sequence

This tag can be used in two ways.  If the VARLEN is nonzero, the drawer
number from the print job will be in the ASCII control sequence at
the offset specified by the VAROFFSET.  If the VARLEN is zero, the unchanged
ASCII control sequence will be used for all requests of drawer number 3
through 255.

For drawers 3 through 255, the paper size that is configured for drawer 1
will be used for all COR calculations.

After you have made the above changes, attempt to print a job to the Xexox
DC printer from an application or create a document and print the document
out.  To create a document use the following commands.

1. CRTDOC TEST and hit enter.
2. Type in a couple of sentences.
3. Select F19 (SHIFT + F7) and select "Print document with options"
4. Printer  = *USRPRF
5. Output Queue = (The name of remote output queue you created)
6. Library = (The Library the remote output queue was created in)

And hit enter. You should get a  "Print request was successful " on the
bottom of your screen.
