Infoprint 6700 Printer configuration sheets for an IPDS Twinax connection

This document describes how to set up the AS/400 (V5R1 and above) for IPDS printing with a Twinax connection. If the printer is being configured with "AFP", "Yes" (Advanced Function Printing) it is recommended that you also create 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 6700 IPDS Twinax printer.

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