Re: TCP/IP printing from AS400

Yes, parallel input from a print server, the 6400's onboard is twin-ax &
parallel & serial.

The navigator sees the printer server, allows me to select the *IBM6400,
just doesn't let me complete the process, non-descript error. Still
working the java trace, but off to Ocean400 meeting now. :)

Thanks.

IBM 6400 - why the external print server? Is it a parallel cable, not
ethernet?
IBM has a native device *IBM6400 for device description.

All,

As an update, and as a thank-you to the contributors, here is what I did.

I used System I Navigator to create the que & dev for our Zebra label
printer and it worked like a charm - didn't know about this feature
before,
did it manually in past.

However, when trying to do the same for an IBM 6400 line printer with an
external print server, it continually gives me errors and to see the java
trace - which always seems to be empty. Java trace seems to be a bear to
capture!!

Both of these printers will use the SCS stream.

However, I still have to replace some I/O-Data print 'bricks' that

convert

IPDS to HPGL for use with laser printer. To achieve this in a non-twin-ax
world I will print SCS and use Formsprint to manage the bar codes.

So I am moving forward, and appreciate the tips getting our new 720
running.

Regards...james

There's a bazillion forms packages out there for the i. Peruse their
ad's. Ask them what printers they recommend for printing checks with
MICR
characters. We've been doing check printing on lazers for years. All
check printing is done in other buildings or I'd tell you a couple we
use.

Only dot matrix I am aware of is one hooked up to our security card
reader
on the computer room. Prints one line every time you scan into that
room.
