Vorschlag für die Einrichtung von IBM 6400 und 6500 über Twinax/IPDS:

Using iSeries IPDS Twinax connection configuration sheets for the Infoprint 6500 Printer
Example for creating a device description for IPDS Twinax printing.

This document describes how to set up the AS/400 (V5R1 and above) for IPDS printing with a Twinax connection. If the printer is be configured with "AFP", "Yes" (Advanced Function Printing) it is recommended to create also a "PSFCFG" or use an existing PSFCFG where "Page Size Control" is controlled by the host.

AS/400 Main menu.

Use the CRTPSFCFG command '+ F4 or Enter' to create a PSFCFG for the 6500 IPDS Twinax printer.

Fill in the table as below, use the F24 (more keys) and F9 (all Parameters) to have all parameters listed.
