Booth, The last 4234 was withdrawn from marketing in 1994, according to IBM's sales manual. So I would imagine that your assumption is correct and that it was configured as it was to maintain compatibility with the S/36 software. To confuse things further, I believe that all of the 4234 printers supported 12 CPI, so the AS/400 drivers should allow this. You may need to redefine the printer on the AS/400 or you may need to reconfigure the printer at its control panel. Unless you can locate some shipping or order documents which would list the model, I can't think of how to determine this information without having someone look at the machine. It's hard to RTFM when you don't know the model.
