RE: Copier printing

["Mark A. Manske" <mmanske@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Aren't those fun to get set-up; it is an art more 
than a science.

You have this set up as a remote writer? ouch. (imho)
Is it physically connected via Ethernet?
At your OS level you could set the device up with the
IP address, and have "much" more flexibility in using
the printer as a device over a remote writer.   

I do not recall if that will allow you to do anything after the fact
with regards to your spool files and drawer numbers - but it is 
easier to work with. 

I would also ask this question, not having worked with that brand,
others I have set-up allow you to configure on the printer an 
emulation type ; along with that, even which drawer you want 
to be the default IPDS drawer, PC drawer and so on... Just a thought.

Also search the archives, there has been some very good discussion
about IP printing in the past, with links to show you how to 
set up and use.  Off hand I do not have a link, if no one else
has it handy I will search more tomorrow for it.

Greetings all,

We recently set up a photocopier for use as a printer.  After awhile we
actually got it to work too.  There are just a couple of options I would
like to adjust.

By default it wants to pull from drawer 1 (which is loaded with 11x17
paper).  I would like it to pull from drawer 3 which has 8.5x11 paper and
holds a lot more paper too.  If the drawer is specified in the spool file
it pulls from the correct drawer.  This is a bother to do but it works.
Unfortunately, the DRAWER parameter of CHGSPLFA isn't an option for *AFPDS
spool files.

It's a Pitney Bowes DL650 and set up as a remote writer.  We are at V5R1.
Any ideas?  Thanks in advance.
