Overview

Components

The components of the AS/400® Printing Solution are:

• AS/400 server

• Your equipment

• USB cable to connect the AXIS 5570e Print Server and your equipment

• AXIS 5570e Print Server

• Client PC workstation

AS/400 Printing Solution components

Print output generated by the AS/400 server passes through the AXIS 5570e Print Server that acts as a converter from IPDS into PCL print commands, which are then sent to your equipment. For more information about AXIS 5570e Print Server, go to the AXIS COMMUNICATIONS of www.axis.com

A client PC can also send commands directly to your equipment.

12 AS/400 Print Solution — Overview

Finishing options and logical printers

TOSHIBA offers several finishing options in addition to standard print commands coming from the AS/400. For example, stapling and hole punching are finishing options.

The finishing options are grouped in several preconfigured sets, which you associate with up to eight logical printers.

NOTE:

• Any finisher options are not supported in e-STUDIO165/205 and e-STUDIO167/

207/237.

AS/400 Print Solution — Overview 13

Installation

Installation procedure

Install the AS/400 printing solution in two steps:

1. Set up the hardware

2. Set up the AS/400 printer

Step 1: Set up the hardware

NOTE: • The controller can be directly connected to the AS/400 network at the same time.

Thus, PCL-based or raw print jobs can be sent to it via the network, bypassing the AXIS 5570e Print Server device.

1. Following the product installation instructions that came with

the AXIS 5570e Print Server, setup this device.

2. Connect the AXIS 5570e Print Server and your equipment

using the USB cable.

3. Press the TEST button on the AXIS 5570e Print Server to print

a test page to your equipment.

4. Connect the AXIS 5570e Print Server to the network hub.

tion Wizard which is a step-by-step guide through the required configuration settings.

Verifying the communication link (AS/400)

Follow the instructions below to verify the communication to the AXIS 5570e:

1. Type WRKCFGSTS *DEV <Device description Name> on the

AS/400 command line and press Enter. The previously created printer device will be displayed. The status of the printer device should be VARIED OFF.

2. Vary on the printer device by typing 1 in the Opt field. Press

Enter.

3. Press F5 to refresh the display. The printer device should

now be VARIED ON.

4. Start the printer writer by typing STRPRTWTR <Device

description Name> on the AS/400 command line. Press Enter.

5. Press F5 to refresh the display. The printer device should

now be ACTIVE/WRITER.

6. Direct a printout to this printer device. A successful printout

verifies the communication link between the AS/400 and the AXIS 5570e.

NOTE: • If the setup fails, refer to the troubleshooting section in the AXIS 5570e User’s Man-

ual, on www.axis.com
