Section 1 Introduction

The AXIS HP MIO is a plug-in interface board that makes it possible
to connect a Hewlett-Packard printer to an IBM AS/400, S/3x, or
Mainframe environment. It supports all HP printers with an MIO
expansion slot, such as LaserJet 5Si, LaserJet 4Si, LaserJet 4+, Color
LaserJet, DesignJet, and PaintJet XL300.

Your HP printer with the AXIS HP MIO appears to the IBM system
as an original IBM printer, while still maintaining its PC or LAN
printer capabilities.

In addition, the AXIS HP MIO allows you to make full use of all HP
printer features in the IBM system environment.

How It Works

An IBM system communicates with printers using a high-speed, bi­directional protocol very different from the PC standard parallel and
serial connections.

In the AXIS HP MIO, the conversion of IBM system data to HP
printer data is carried out in three steps as illustrated in the picture
below:

The AXIS HP MIO IBM System to HP Printer Data Conversion

The

IBM System Communication

block extracts the print data, page
formatting commands, and font selection commands from the IBM
data stream.

Conversion to PCL

The

block converts the data into PCL, which is the

format used by HP printers.

The

Printer Driver

block passes the data on to the printer using the

internal MIO (Modular Input/Output) interface.

The Printer Driver also accepts PCL data from a local PC or a LAN
print server (such as the AXIS NPS 560) using the AXIS HP MIO
parallel port. In this way, you can share the printer between two
different environments. The PC/LAN print data is not converted or
otherwise modified by the AXIS HP MIO board.

IBM Printer Emulations

The AXIS HP MIO hardware is a state-of-the-art RISC architecture
design. Based on highly integrated circuits, it combines low power
consumption with high performance and reliability.

The AXIS HP MIO interface is designed to be fully compatible with
the emulated IBM printers. You can print all your existing documents
without having to adapt them specially for the AXIS HP MIO.

The AXIS HP MIO is delivered in ready-to-run state. The few
parameters you might need to change are directly accessed from the
printer’s front panel.

For the advanced user, the AXIS HP MIO has a large number of
configuration parameters that allows you to tailor the interface to meet
a wide range of specific needs.

The AXIS HP MIO is pre-configured to emulate an IBM 3816 page
printer. This selection makes the best use of the HP printer
capabilities, but you can also select from a wide range of other IBM
printers.

Fonts

Printer Sharing

The pre-defined font definition table contains 130 IBM fonts, each
mapped to a printer resident PCL font. The font mapping is designed
to emulate, as close as possible, the output from an original IBM
printer and at the same time offer full access to the HP printer’s
scalable fonts.

You can share the printer between the Coax/Twinax host and up to
three different local PCs or LAN print servers connected to the AXIS
HP MIO parallel port and the printer’s own parallel and serial ports.
You do not have to purchase any special cabling, since standard
printer cables may be used. The printer sharing requires no operator
intervention, and no AXIS HP MIO or printer configuration.

This is an alternative method for changing the front panel
configuration parameters, and for changing parameters not
available from the front panel. You may send a file containing the
configuration commands either from your IBM system, or from a
local PC.

• Hex Transparency

This function allows you to use all the HP printer features in the
IBM system environment.

• Font Selection

The font commands provides easy access to the printer resident
PCL fonts from your IBM system documents.

Note: ❏ If you intend to use any of these functions, we strongly

recommend that you order the AXIS HP MIO Technical
Reference from your distributor. The Technical Reference also
describes a wide range of additional functions to further enhance
your printouts.

Configuration from the System

For printers without a front panel, you can configure the AXIS HP
MIO by inserting configuration commands in your document. The
example below shows a configuration sequence that sets all front panel
parameters to their default values (US version; for the European
version, substitute LETTER with A4):

Example:

%AXIS+
%CONFIG+
SYSL = 37;
PREMUL = 3816;
MPL = 66;
AUTORI = YES;
BIN1 = COR,LETTER;
BIN2 = COR,LETTER;
BIN3 = COR,LETTER;
BIN4 = COR,LETTER;
BIN5 = COR,LETTER;
SAVE;
%CONFIG-

Note that page orientation and size may be set individually for each
input bin, while the front panel parameters affect all available bins
simultaneously.

A common application is to print on pre-printed forms from the lower
bin, while printing standard jobs from the upper bin. To do this, you
may need to turn off the COR (Computer Output Reduction)
function for the lower bin:

Example:

%AXIS+
%CONFIG+
BIN2 = PORT,LETTER;
SAVE;

The transparency function allows you to send ASCII data to the
printer directly from the host application. The data may be of any

language supported by the printer, e.g. PCL, HP-GL, or PostScript.

This gives you access to all the HP printer features from within the
IBM environment.

When the percent and less-than characters (%<) are received, the
AXIS HP MIO will switch over to hex transparency mode. Following
data (hexadecimal byte values or quoted text) are passed directly to the
printer without any conversion. The hex transparency mode continues
until the greater-than and percent characters (>%) are received.

Example:

The example below shows how to embed ‘start underline’ (
&d0D) and ‘stop underline’ (

Font Selection

When experimenting with HP-GL or PostScript functions, don’t forget
to resume PCL mode and reset the printer afterwards!

Fonts can be selected by the system in two ways: directly by font
reference (FGID number), or indirectly by pitch selection (CPI). The
FGID selection is only available in Twinax mode.

In order to gain full access to the PCL fonts in both Coax and Twinax
mode, the AXIS HP MIO offers an alternative font selection
command.

Font selection commands may be included anywhere in your
documents. They begin with ‘percent-slash’ (%/) followed by the
word FONT and the font (FGID) number. An optional point size
value preceeded by a comma may be included. The command is ended
with a semi-colon (;).

Notes: ❏ If Point Size is omitted, 10 points will be used as default for all

scalable fonts.

❏ Fixed pitch fonts are not scalable. If a Point Size is specified, it

will be used to compress/expand the font. (

Appendix A The AXIS HP MIO Rear Panel

The rear panel has two indicators (SYSTEM and PC SHARE), a
rotary switch, a Coax/Twinax switch, and two connectors. The larger
connector (PARALLEL) is used for local PC or LAN print server
input, and smaller circular is used for Coax/Twinax input.

The picture below shows the rear panel with its indicators, switches,
and connectors.

The System Indicator

This indicator (green) is lit when the AXIS HP MIO is connected to
the IBM system. It can also flash in the following cases:

• At power-up (for a few seconds).

• When Test Mode is entered, see below.

• During test function execution (rapid flash).

34 AXIS HP MIO User’s Manual

The AXIS HP MIO Rear Panel

The PC SHARE Indicator

This indicator (yellow) is lit during a local PC or LAN printout. Host
printouts will be held waiting until the PC/LAN printout is
completed.

The Rotary Switch

The ten-position rotary switch is used for setting the AXIS HP MIO
device address (this applies to 5250/Twinax mode only – the switch
should always be in zero position in 3270/Coax mode).

Appendix A: The AXIS HP MIO Rear Panel

HP MIO



The switch is also used for accessing Test Mode functions.

The Coax/Twinax Switch

This switch (CX/TX) configures the AXIS HP MIO hardware for
Coax or Twinax mode operation. It should be set prior to the

installation. Do not alter this switch when the printer is powered on or

connected to the IBM system.

Test Mode

The Test Mode is used for accessing internal AXIS HP MIO
functions. Entering Test Mode makes the AXIS HP MIO go off-line
towards all connected input sources, so you do not have to disconnect
any cables.

8 Print Parameter List – print the complete configuration
9 Exit T est Mode – resume normal print operation

Caution 5250/Twinax Users: Don’t forget to set the rotary switch to the device

address after exiting Test Mode.

Notes: ❏ To set factory default configuration, a two-step operation is

required in order to avoid accidental activation and loss of
configuration settings. When position 1 is selected, the yellow PC
SHARE indicator begins to flash. To confirm this selection,
switch to position 2 within two seconds.

❏ The Hex Dump modes are useful when analyzing incorrect

printouts, but be careful – they can consume huge amounts of
paper! Refer to the AXIS HP MIO Technical Reference for
details.

❏ The Terminal Configuration Utility provides an easy-to-use

method of customizing the AXIS HP MIO board using a directly

5256 may be used when you need to guarantee that the AS/400 will
not send format settings (CPI, LPI, etc.). This is useful when you use
Hex Transparency to control printer behaviour.

AS/400 Configuration If you will configure for a number of AXIS HP MIO interfaces, or if

you will use IBM 3812 emulation, manual configuration is
recommended. Manual configuration is performed using
CRTDEVPRT or WRKDEVD F6 (Create).

You may, prior to configuration, use PRTDEVADR to get a chart
showing free port and switch setting combinations. Device type
(TYPE) and Device model (MODEL) must match the setting of AXIS
HP MIO. The printers are listed in functionality order, with 5256
being the least functional (advanced) of the IBM printer emulations.
