Subject: RE: Client Access Printer
emulation delay
We use Zebra printers this way with the following emulation
setup:
Checked - Transform print data to ASCII on AS/400
Printer model 'Other Printer'
Every thing else is defaulted, and the device is automatically
created as 3812
It ususally takes just a few seconds for output on ours. Not
sure what else it could be.

Subject: Client
Access Printer emulation delay
Our end-users access our AS400 (on V4R4) with a Client Access
terminal
session and they have a small thermal
ticket-printer which is connected with
a Client Access
printer emulation window. This all goes through a NT network
via TCP/IP to the AS400
Whenever the user hits enter in the program that prints the
tickets the
printer emulation window shows it's little
"activity" icon and then it takes
15 to 20 seconds for
the printer to start printing. All of the tickets in
the batch after the initial delay come out one after another.
If I watch the appropriate outq while this happens everything
appears to be
normal and the output is gone within the
first couple of seconds after
hitting enter so it
doesn't appear to be hanging around in the outq.
This happens to workstations in the field connected via 56K
dial-up to our
NT network and it happens here in the
office on my PC less than 10 feet from
the 400.
On the NT side the Client Access printer emulator prints to
the
"Generic/Text Only" driver and I've fiddled around
with the spool settings
and priorities to no
avail. I can have it go directly without going to NT
spool and it still takes 15 - 20 seconds to print.
Just for grins I've tried Mocha, Rhumba, and a couple of more
obscure 5250
emulation packages and the delay remains.
Most of the end-users are on Client Access and I'm on Client
Access Express
4.3 and the delay is the same.
So....
Anyone have any ideas??? Is there something I'm missing
on the 400 side
that could cause the delay ???? or am
I stuck with an NT problem...
