RE: Postscript OUTQ -- MIDRANGE-L






Scott, you're my hero.  At the moment Charles is coming in a close second.
I appreciate looking everything up and even putting together the command
for me.  I entered the command and got the device created.  My question now
is how do I start it?  I tried STRPRTWTR and it looks like it's trying to
start but I get the error below.  Do I need a different command to get it
started or do you think that it's a case that the config of the device
isn't quite what the system wants?  In the past I've done STRRMTWTR for
remote OUTQ's.  I looked for similar commands that might be for *LAN
printer devices but nothing jumped out at me.

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=nas1455d75b61c75fdcc86256a1e00532f93

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...
