combined with low power consumption. The electronic circuits are
based on theimproved AXIS ETRAX 100LX chip, which comprises an
integrated 32 bit RISC processor and associated network controllers.
Flexibility
In the IBM Mainframe and AS/400 environment, the AXIS 5470e can
emulate IBM twinax and coax print and control functionality. This
means that the AXIS 5470e can effectively replace coax/twinax
attached printers and control units on the LAN.
It supports printing in all the major computer systems and
environments, including five different print methods in the TCP/IP
environment
.Speed
The AXIS ETRAX 100LX chip has been specifically designed for LAN
products and benefits users with a faster throughput than a direct
PC-to-printer connection. With a sustained data throughput ofmore
than 1 Mbyte per second, the AXIS 5470e is fast. High speed
Centronics communication such as ECP, Hewlett-Packard Fast Mode,
High Speed and IBM Fast Byte is supported.

AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Assigning an IP address
To establish communication with the TCP/IP network, enabling TCP/IP
printing and Web browser management, an IP address must be
assigned to your AXIS 5470e.
Before you start
System privileges
You need root privileges on your UNIX system, or administrator
privileges on a Windows NT server.
Ethernet address
AXIS 5470e
You need to know the Ethernet address of your AXIS 5470e to
perform the installation. The Ethernet address is based upon the serial
number of your AXIS 5470e. This means, for example, that an AXIS
5470e with the serial number 00408C100086, will have the
corresponding Ethernet address of 00 40 8C 10 00 86. The serial
number is located on the bottom label of the print server.
IP address
If you do not have a DHCP server on your network, you must obtain
an unused IP address from your network administrator.
Important:
DO NOT use the IP addresses used in the following examples when installing your
AXIS 5470e. Always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP
address to your AXIS 5470e.
Registering and
Resolving
Host Names
In order to register the host name of the AXIS 5470e in networks with
dynamic IP address settings, WINS (Windows Internet Name Service)
and DDNS (Dynamic Domain Naming System) are supported. It is
recommended that at least one of these methods be used when
setting the IP address of the AXIS 5470e using DHCP.
The host name of the AXIS 5470e is specified by the PS_NAME
parameter. Refer to The Parameter List, on page 231.
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Section 3: Basic Installation
WINS host name rules
WINS only supports 15 character long host names. If your host name
is longer than 15 characters, the AXIS 5470e truncates the host name
to 15 characters when registering with a WINS server. You can view
the AXIS 5470e host name that is registered at a WINS server, in the
print server’s Web interface. Refer to Section 11 Management and
Configuration, on page 134.
DDNS host name rules
DDNS supports 53 character long host names, but they can only
consist of the characters ‘A-Z’, ’a-z’ and ‘-’. If your host name consists
of any other characters, they are converted to ‘-’, when registering
with a DDNS server. You can view the AXIS 5470e host name that is
registered at a DDNS server, in the print server’s Web interface. Refer
to Section 11 Management and Configuration, on page 134.
If the host name matches another entry in the DDNS data base, the
AXIS 5470e deletes the entry before registering.
Notes:
•
The host name limitations conclude that if you want to register the same
host name at a WINS server and a DDNS server, the host name should be no
longer than 15 characters and it should only contain the characters:
‘A - Z’, ‘a-z’ and ‘-’
•
Refer to your system manuals or to your network administrator for
instructions on how host name resolutions are performed on your system.
•
If the host name has not been mapped to the IP address, you can still
perform the following instructions on how to download the IP address. In
this case, simply replace the host name entry with the IP address wherever
required.

AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Section 3: Basic Installation
Notes:
Using DHCP
•
The AXIS 5470e supports WINS (Windows Internet Name Service), which is
recommended when setting the IP address using DHCP in Windows environments.
•
The Ethernet Address is the same as the serial number, found on the print
server’s underside label. Enter the Ethernet Address in the same format as in
the example above.
•
Setting the IP address with arp and ping is only possible in the first ten
minutes after re-booting the print server.
•
When you execute the ping command for the first time, you may experience a significantly longer response time than usual.
•
The arp command varies between different UNIX systems.
•
You need root privileges on your UNIX system in order to execute the arp
command and run axinstall .
•
Some BSD type systems expect the host name and serial number in reverse
order. Furthermore IBM AIX systems will require the additional argument
ether.
Example: arp -s ether <host name> <Ethernet Address> temp
Follow the instructions below to download the IP address using
DHCP:
1. Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the DHCP
daemon. The entries included in this scope should contain the
following parameters:
• range of IP addresses
• subnet mask
• default router IP address
• WINS server IP address(es)
• lease duration
2. Activate the scope.
The AXIS 5470e will automatically download the DHCP parameters.
If you are using WINS, you must include at least one WINS server IP
address in the DHCP scope. Immediately after the IP address has been
received, the AXIS 5470e registers its host name and IP address on
the WINS server.

ping 192.168.3.191
arp -d 192.168.3.191
The host will return Reply from 192.168.3.191 ... or
a similar message. This indicates that the address has been set and
that communication is established.
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Using ARP in UNIX
Section 3: Basic Installation
Follow the instructions below to set the IP address using ARP:
Type the following commands in the shell window:
arp -s <host name> <Ethernet address> temp
ping <host name>
Example:
arp -s npsname 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp
ping npsname
The host will return npsname is alive, or a similar message.
This indicates that the address has been set and that communication
is established.
Notes:
Using RARP in UNIX
•
The Ethernet address is equal to the serial number, which is
located on the underside label of the AXIS 5470e.
•
The ARP command varies between different UNIX systems. Some BSD
type systems expect the host name and node address in reverse order. Furthermore IBM AIX systems will require the additional argument ether.
Example:
arp -s ether <host name> 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp
•
When you execute the ping command for the first time, you may experience a significantly longer response time than usual.
Follow the instructions below to set the IP address using RARP:
1. Append the following line to your Ethernet Address table. This is
typically located in the /etc/ethers file:
<Ethernet address> <host name>
00:40:8c:10:00:86 npsname
2. Update, if necessary, your host table and alias name databases,
as required by your system.

3. If it is not already running, start the RARP daemon. This is
typically performed using the rarpd -a command.
4. Restart the AXIS 5470e to download the IP address.
Notes:
Using BOOTP
in UNIX
•
The Ethernet address is equal to the serial number, which can be
found on the underside label of the AXIS 5470e.
•
If you are a IBM AIX user, you will probably not have access to a RARP
daemon. If this is the case, you can use either the ARP or BOOTP methods
instead.
Follow the instructions below to set the IP address using BOOTP:
1. Append the following entry to your boot table. This is typically
performed by editing the file: /etc/bootptab
<host name>:ht=<hardware type>:vm=<vendor magic>:\
:ha=<hardware address>:ip=<IP address>:\
:sm=<subnet mask>:gw=<gateway field>
npsname:ht=ether:vm=rfc1048:\
:ha=00408c100086:ip=192.168.3.191:\
:sm=255.255.255.0:gw=192.168.1.1
The AXIS 5470e can automatically download a customized config file
from a TFTP server. Just add the name of the config file and the TFTP
server’s IP address to your boot table. The config file is downloaded
immediately after the AXIS 5470e receives its IP address.

Setting Up - AS/400
This section describes how to configure the AXIS 5470e for printing
SCS and IPDS data streams using SNA and TCP/IP transport protocols
in the AS/400 environment.
Note:
SNA is only available for AXIS 5470e models with the SNA option installed.
Please refer to Product Model Summary, on page 7
A number of protocols and print methods are available. Looking at
SCS over TCP/IP printing, we strongly recommend the TN5250E
alternative. This print method offers superior control and
management features as well as automatic configuration and high
throughput using the AXIS 5470e.
If you have decided to use SNA, we recommend the 5494 mode.
Compared to the 3174 mode, this alternative yields better text
formatting options as well as automatic configuration.

SNA Printing
The AXIS 5470e supports printing of SCS, 3270 and IPDS data
streams via the SNA transport protocol.
Important:
The AXIS 5470e must be set up to emulate an IBM 3174 (3174 CU mode) in the
Mainframe/VTAM environment.
Configuring for SNA printing in 3174 CU Mode is described in three
separate stages:
•
Configuring the IBM Mainframe Host system
•
Configuring the AXIS 5470e
•
Verifying the communication

Section 5: Setting Up - IBM Mainframe
Configuring the
Mainframe
Host System
Before you begin
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
These procedures are compulsory for printing in the IBM Mainframe
environment.
Configuring the host system requires you to do the following:
•
Make sure that a VTAM Logon-mode entry is available for your
AXIS 5470e.
•
Create the VTAM Definition for the Major Node where the Print
Server definition is to be placed.
Make note of the AXIS 5470e serial number that is found on the
backside label of the print server.
Procedures
Important:
When using a concentrator gateway between the host and your print server, it is
not necessary to define separate VTAM Major Node and PU definitions for the
AXIS 5470e. You will instead be working with the gateway VTAM definitions.
Since the AXIS 5470e will appear to the host as one or several LU's attached to
the gateway PU, you need only add LU definitions to the gateway major node
definition and then proceed to item 3 below.
1. Define a VTAM Major Node Definition where the Print
Server definitions will be placed. Using a channel attached 3174
as a gateway to the host, this definition is typically defined as a
Local Major Node. If you are using a remotely attached
gateway via a 37X5 communications controller or a LAN
attached 3172, you will be working with a Switched Major
Node definition.
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Section 5: Setting Up - IBM Mainframe
2. Add the Print Server PU and LU definitions to the major node
definition.
For Switched Major Node definitions you need to:
•
Add the IDBLK (default = E07) and IDNUM (default =
last 5 digits of the AXIS 5470e MAC address) entries
to the PU definition.
•
Code a PATH definition using the unit’s full 12 digit
MAC address.
Example: AnAXIS 5470e with a MAC/node address
of 00408C100086 will be defined as:
PA5470e1
PATH
DIALNO=010400408C100086,
GID=1, FID=1, GRPNM=gggggg
Note:
‘GRPNM’ specifies the symbolic name of a GROUP statement in an NCP major
node. That GROUP statement defines a logical group of SDLC switched lines or
token-ring switched lines.
3. Make sure that the corresponding VTAM Logon-mode entries
are available and that the appropriate LU session types (LU1 or
LU3) are used.
4. Vary ACTive the VTAM Major Node definition for the
AXIS 5470e.
Sample Sessions
The examples below are based on samples given in VTAM
Customization (IBM part no: SC23-0112), with some changes to
optimize use for AXIS 5470e.
VTAM for MVS is assumed, although the configuration for VM and
VSE is similar.

AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Note:
In the PU definition, IDNUM should be set to the five last digits of the AXIS
5470e node address, NODE_ADDR. By default NODE_ADDR stands for the five
last digits of the AXIS 5470e serial number.
In the path definition, PATH DIALNO should be comprised with its first two
digits equal to the place holder, the next two set to the SAP and the remaining
twelve digits set to the AXIS 5470e Ethernet or Node address. By default the
Ethernet/Node address is identical to the AXIS 5470e serial number. A valid
GRPNM must also be supplied.
In the LU definition, the LOCADDR number maps to the Logical Printer number
of the AXIS 5470e. The first eight Local Addresses pass the printout through
Logical Printer 1-8. However, some IBM systems do not allow Local Address 1 to
be used for printing. Refer to Section 13 Using Logical Printers, on page 170
for more information about logical printers.

Section 5: Setting Up - IBM Mainframe
Note:
If the LAN media at the remote (Print Server) location differs from that at the
host location (e.g. Remote LAN = Ethernet and Host LAN = Token Ring), the MAC
address definitions must be modified, as outlined below:
Print Server Modifications:
The AXIS 5470e Host MAC address (H1_MAC_ADDR) must be bit-order reversed
for each byte,
e.g. if the host address is 08005AB77D49 the converted address will be
10005AEDBE92
Host Modifications:
The required Host modifications are dependent upon the VTAM definition for the
Major Node where the Print Server definition is placed.
Case 1:
VTAM Major Node definition is a Switched Major Node.
The MAC address of the AXIS 5470e must be bit-order reversed in the PATH
entry. AnAXIS 5470e with a MAC/node address of 00408C1B06D4 will be defined
using the MAC/node address 000231D8602B as follows:
Case 2:
VTAM Major Node definition is a Local Major Node.
When using a channel attached controller as gateway to the host, the MAC
address of the AXIS 5470e is configured in the gateway. The address must be
reversed, as in case 1 above.
Configuring the
AXIS 5470e
To perform the instructions presented in this section, you should first
assign an IP address to your AXIS 5470e using one of the methods

Before you begin
Configuration
Procedures
In order to use the AXIS 5470e to print IPDS data using TCP/IP as the
transport protocol, the following software must be installed and
configured on your MVS:
•
PSF/MVS Version 2 release 2.0 with APAR OW15599.
•
MVS Scheduler APAR OW12236 to support the two new PRINTDEV keywords: IPADDR and PORTNO.
•
TCP/IP version 3 release 1, or higher
The configuration procedures presented in this section are divided
into seven separate steps:
1. Specifying the TCP/IP address space name
2. Defining the MVS control unit
3. Modifying the TCP/IP profile on your MVS system, if necessary
4. Configuring the AXIS 5470e
5. Verifying the communication between the AXIS 5470e and the
IBM Mainframe
6. Defining the AXIS 5470e as a writer-controlled printer to JES
7. Defining the printer to PSF with a PRINTDEV statement,
including the IP address and port number.
77
78
Section 5: Setting Up - IBM Mainframe
Specifying the TCP/IP
address space name
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
To specify a TCP/IP address space name you should enter the
following EXEC statement in the appropriate PSF writer procedure:
//STEP01 EXEC
PGM=APSPPIEP,REGION=4096K,PARM=(,,,,tcpip_name)
where tcpip_name is the name of the TCP/IP address space. If this
parameter is not coded, PSF uses the default name TCPIP. For a full
description of the PARM parameter refer to IBM’s user documentation
covering the print service facility.
Defining the
MVS control unit
If you have not already done so, you must define the communications
control unit, e.g. the 3172 control unit or the 3745 control unit, to
MVS. The tool to use is dependent on your MVS version:
•
When using a version earlier than MVS 4.1.0, you should use an
MVS Configuration Program (MVSCP).
•
When using a version of MVS 4.1.0 or higher, you can use a
HardWare Configuration Definition (HCD) or an MVSCP.
For more information about using these methods, please refer to one
of the following publications:

KEEPALIVEOPTIONS
PSF relies on TCP to detect when a connection with a TCP/IP-attached printer or an AXIS 5470e
is no longer available. When no data has been exchanged between PSF and its connection
partner, TCP sends keep-alive probes to the connection partner periodically. These periodic
probes, called keep-alive transmissions, enable TCP to discover when a connection is no longer
usable even if the connection partner is abruptly powered off or is no longer accessible through
the network.
The frequency of keep-alive transmissions is controlled by the INTERVAL parameter on the
KEEPALIVEOPTIONS statement. The frequency applies to all TCP applications that direct TCP to
send keep alive transmissions. The default frequency is after about two hours of inactivity.
We recommend that you specify a shorter interval than the default, such as 10 minutes, for the
interval between keep-alive transmissions.
Also, if any target host on you network requires that the keep-alive packet contains data, specify
SENDGARBAGE TRUE
GATEWAY
The Packet_size parameter of the GATEWAY statement defines the maximum transmission unit
(MTU) for the MVS host. The MTU size must not exceed the maximum size that can be sent
through the control unit; if it does, transmission problems will occur.
The MTU size should be 2000 bytes and the MTU size for the MVS host should be the same as the
MTU size for the printer.
For values in the GATEWAY statement other than the packet size, specify the values that are
correct for your installation.

described in this section, please refer to:

AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
JES definitions
Section 5: Setting Up - IBM Mainframe
When a TCP-attached printer is to be used with JES, it must be
defined for deferred-printing mode. To use a PSF printer for deferred
printing under JES, you must first code JES initialization statements
to define FSSs and FSAs for PSF printers. For JES2, the FSS is defined
by an FSS statement, and the FSA is defined by a PRTnnnn statement.
For JES3, the FSS is defined by an FSSDEF statement, and the FSA is
defined by a DEVICE statement.
The maximum number of FSSs and FSAs that are supported are:
•
FSSs = 2000
•
FSAs per FSS = 64
The actual number of FSAs per FSS depends on several factors like:
JES2 Initialization
•
The virtual region size below the 16-megabyte line
•
The number and the size of form definitions and page definitions
•
The number of buffers specified (BUFNO) for channel-attached
printers
•
The block sizes of the font, page segment, overlay, form definition, and page definition libraries
The example below shows a sample JES2 statements for a TCP/IPattached AXIS 5470e:
FSS (FSS1) PROC=SAMPPROC,HASPFSSM=HASPFSSM
PRT1
FSS=FSS1,MODE=FSS,PRMODE=(LINE,PAGE,),
CLASS=C,UCS=0,SEP=NO,SEPDS=NO,CKPTPAGE=100
START=YES,MARK=NO,TRKCELL=YES
Note:
This is only an example. For specific coding for JES parameters, refer to the JES
publication for the level of JES you are using.
83
84
Section 5: Setting Up - IBM Mainframe
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
The following paragraphs describe the JES2 initialization statements
shown above, which are typical of the JES2 statements used with
PSF. For more detailed descriptions of all JES2 initialization
statements, refer to the JES2 initialization and tuning publication for
your operating system.
FSS Statement:
The FSS initialization statement is optional but recommended. If it is
omitted, JES2 generates a default FSS for that device. The FSS
initialization statement defines an FSS to JES2. The FSS statement is
associated with one or more PRTnnnn statements that define each
printer FSA. For a description of all FSS parameters, refer to the JES2
initialization and tuning publication for your operating system. The
FSS statement contains the following parameters for PSF:
FSS Statement
Explanation
FSS (fasname)
Specifies the unique 1- to 8-character name of a particular FSS. This name is referenced in the PRTnnnn
statement for each printer FSA that is associated with this FSS. When you start the first printer that has an FSA
definition for that FSS, an FSS address space is created for PSF. PSF manages this FSS and the printer FSA for
the first printer. If you start a second printer with an FSA definition for the same FSS, PSF manages a separate
FSA for the second printer in that FSS.
PROC
Specifies a procedure for starting the PSF FSS. The procedure, which must be defined before that FSS is started,
is a member of either SYS1.PROCLIB or a library concatenated to SYS1.PROCLIB.
HASPFSSM
Specifies the 1- to 8-character name of the load module that is loaded into the PSF FSS address space. This
load module contains the various FSI service routines that JES2 supplies. For PSF, specify the default value
(HASPFSSM=HASPFSSM).
PRTnnnn Statement:
A PRTnnnn statement, which is required to define each printer nnnn
statement FSA, is associated with an FSS statement. Each printer
FSA should have a unique PRTnnnn name that must match the label
on the CNTL, ENDCNTL, and PRINTDEV statements for the PSF startup
procedure specified in the PROC parameter.
Note:
The label on the PRINTDEV statement must be 8 characters or fewer. PSF
accepts the PRTnnnn, PRINTnn, and PRINTERn formats. PRTnnnn is the
recommended format.
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Section 5: Setting Up - IBM Mainframe
The PRTnnnn parameters create JES2 default values that are used
unless other values are specified in the application program JCL. The
PRTnnnn statement contains the following parameters:
PRTnnnn Statement
Explanation
CKPTPAGE
Specifies the number of pages between data-set checkpoints. If checkpoint intervals are too frequent, printer
performance is significantly reduced. If intervals are too infrequent, and a PSF error occurs, the job has to be
reprocessed from the last checkpoint. In this case, printer performance is significantly reduced if PSF errors
continue to occur. The recommended starting value is 100.
CLASS
Specifies the output classes processed by the printer. By defining print classes you can handle disabled
mechanisms.
FSS
Specifies the FSS for this device and must match the FSA name specified in the corresponding FSS statement.
This parameter is required.
MARK
Enables form markings to be placed on the job trailer pages. For the AXIS 5470e you should set this
parameter to NO.
Note: This parameter is new in JES2 and replaces the MARK | NOMARK parameter.
MODE
Specifies that the printer is managed by an FSS. This parameter is required.
85
86
Section 5: Setting Up - IBM Mainframe
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
PRTnnnn Statement
Explanation
PRMODE
Specifies the data-set processing modes supported for the printer. It lists all the PRMODE values that the
printer accepts. If the AXIS 5470e is connected to a PostScript printer, the correct setting is
PRMODE=(PAGE,LINE,).. This setting indicates that composed-page and line data sets can be
printed.
Enables job-header and job-trailer separator pages to be produced.
Note1: If the Distributed Print Function (DPF) of PSF/2 is installed, you may need to set
this parameter to YES.
SEP
Note2: This parameter is new in JES2 and replaces the SEP | NOSEP parameter.
SEPDS
Enables formatted data-set header separator pages to be produced.
Note: This parameter is new in JES2 and replaces the SEPDS | NOSEPDS parameter.
START
Specifies the way that the printer is started. The parameter value NO specifies that the printer is to be started
by an operator command. The parameter value YES specifies that the printer, if it is ready, is to start
automatically when JES2 starts processing.
Note: This parameter is new in JES2 and replaces the DRAIN | START parameter.
TRKCELL
Specifies whether track-cell despooling is to be used or not. It is recommended to set this parameter to
UCS
Specifies a default font. If you want to select a font in the startup procedure instead of the JES2 default font,
you should set this parameter to 0.
JES3 Initialization
YES.
Below is sample JES3 statements for an TCP/IP attached AXIS 5470e.
In the example the JNAME=PRT1 has been used.
FSSDEF,TYPE=WTR,FSSNAME=FSS3,PNAME=SAMPPRO3,SYSTEM=SYS1,TERM=NO
DEVICE,DTYPE=PRTAFP1,JNAME=PRT1,JUNIT=(,SYS1,,ON),FSSNAME=FSS3
MODE=FSS,PM=(LINE,PAGE,),CHARS=(YES,GT12),

Note:
This is only an example. For specific coding for JES parameters, refer to the JES
publication for the level of JES you are using.
The following paragraphs describe the JES3 initialization statements
shown above, which are typical of the JES3 statements used with
PSF. For more detailed descriptions of all JES3 initialization
statements, refer to the JES3 initialization and tuning publication for
your operating system.
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Section 5: Setting Up - IBM Mainframe
FSSDEF Statement:
The FSSDEF initialization statement is optional but recommended. If
it is omitted, JES3 generates a default FSS for the printer being
invoked.
The FSSDEF statement can contain the following parameters:
FSSDEF Statement
Explanation
TYPE
Specifies that the FSS is an output writer for deferred printing. This parameter is required.
FSSNAME
Specifies the unique name of a particular FSS. This parameter is required.
PNAME
Specifies a procedure for starting a specific PSF FSS. The procedure, which must be defined before the FSS is
started, is a member of the procedure library defined by the STCPROC parameter of the STANDARDS
statement or of the IATPLBST procedure library. Different FSSDEF initialization statements can refer to the same
startup procedure.
The PNAME parameter specifies either a startup procedure supplied with PSF, or one of your organization’s
procedures.
SYSTEM
Specifies the JES3 processor on which the FSS is run. The name must match the
MAINPROC statement for the processor.
TERM
Specifies the way that the FSS is terminated. The parameter value YES indicates that the FSS is terminated if
the JES3 global address space is terminated by a *RETURN or *DUMP operator command.
NAME parameter in the
DEVICE Statement:
A DEVICE statement is required for each printer. The DEVICE
parameters create JES3 default values that are used unless other
values are specified in the JCL application program. The DEVICE
statement can contain the following parameters:
Device Statement
Explanation
Specifies the JES default page definition.
The value YES specifies that the page definition can be changed during startup
procedures.
CARRIAGE
The value NO specifies that the page definition cannot be changed during startup
procedures.
The value aaaa specifies that the un-prefixed name, 1 to 4 characters long, of the page
definition is to be used as default. The name specified here, or the JES3 system default, is
the PSF default page definition.
87
88
Section 5: Setting Up - IBM Mainframe
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
CHARS
Specifies a default JES3 font.
CKPNTPG
Specifies the number of pages between data-set checkpoints. If checkpoint intervals are too frequent, printer
performance is significantly reduced. If intervals are too infrequent, and a PSF error occurs, the job has to be
reprocessed from the last checkpoint. In this case, printer performance is significantly reduced if PSF errors
continue to occur. The recommended starting value is 100.
DTYPE
Identifies the printer device type. For the AXIS 5470e you should specify the parameter value PRTAFP1. This
parameter is required.
FSSNAME
Specifies a unique FSS for this printer DEVICE statement. The value must match the value coded for the
FSSNAME parameter in the corresponding FSSDEF statement.
HEADER
Specifies if job and data set header pages are printed. If DPF is installed, you may need to specify HEADER=YES.
JNAME
Specifies the name of the printer FSA. Each printer FSA should have a unique JNAME. This unique JNAME is 8
characters or fewer and must correspond to its label on the CNTL, ENDCNTL, and PRINTDEV
statements for the PSF startup procedure specified in the PNAME parameter. This parameter is required.
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Section 5: Setting Up - IBM Mainframe
Device Statement
Explanation
JUNIT
Specifies:
1. The device address (host-connected, channel-attached, non-SNA printers only). Do not specify a device
address for the AXIS 5470e when using TCP/IP attachment.
2. The name of the processor to which the device is attached
3. A destination class for messages about the device
4 .Whether the device is initially online or offline
This parameter is required.
MODE
Specifies that the printer is managed by an FSS. This parameter is required.
PM
Specifies which data-set processing mode is supported. For the AXIS 5470e attached to Postscript printers, the
correct setting is PRMODE=(LINE,PAGE,), indicating that composed-page and line data sets can be
printed.
WC
Specifies the print output class that the printer is to process. You may want to consider handling disabled
mechanisms by defining print classes.
89

Section 5: Setting Up - IBM Mainframe
Defining the
printer to PSF
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Each AXIS 5470e must be defined to PSF with a PRINTDEV statement
in the PSF startup procedure. The following keywords are required on
the PRINTDEV statement:
•
IPADDR='xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'
•
PORTNO='xxxx'
The IPADDR parameter specifies the IP address of the AXIS 5470e in
dotted-decimal notation.
Note:
Do not specify a host name in place of the dotted-decimal address.
The PORTNO keyword specifies the TCP/IP port to use for the print
session. This port number must match the port number set up for the
AXIS 5470e in Configuring the AXIS 5470e, on page 65.
Below is a sample procedure, APSWPROT, which you can modify to suit
your installation. The PRINTDEV statement includes the required
IPADDR and PORTNO keywords. In the PRINTDEV example below, the
TCP/IP port number 5100 is used, but any port, larger that 1024, can
be used as long as the same port is set up in the AXIS 5470e.
The APSWPROT procedure contains JCL parameters to produce a
startup procedure for either 240-pel and 300-pel printers, but the
references to 300-pel resolution are commented out. To create
separate startup procedures, make two copies of APSWPROT, and then
follow the commented instructions in APSWPROT. Keep one
unchanged copy as your startup procedure for a resolution of 120 or
240 pels. In the second copy, delete or comment out all references to
240-pel resolution, and make all references to 300-pel resolution
active. This changed copy is your startup procedure for 300-pel
resolution.
If you want to print both 240-pel and 300-pel AFP/IPDS jobs, create
two separate FSAs, one for jobs with resolution of 120 or 240, and
one for jobs with resolution of 300 pels. The 240-pel resolution FSA
uses 240-pel resources, and the 300-pel resolution FSA uses 300-pel
resources. Both FSAs are defined to drive the same printer; however,
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Section 5: Setting Up - IBM Mainframe
only one FSA can be active at one time for a given printer. You should
define separate classes or destinations for each FSA. Your
installation must route the appropriate jobs to the appropriate class
or destination. The two FSAs can be defined in the same or in
separate startup procedures.

AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Although it is not recommended, it is possible to drive the printer
with just one FSA, if one of the following conditions are met:
•
All the resources in the resource libraries are resolution-independent, and all the jobs that use inline resources or user libraries
contain resources that are resolution-independent.
•
All jobs that request a resolution that is different from the resolution-dependent resources in the PSF system and security libraries contain the resources at the requested resolution, either as
inline resources or in the user's library.
Even if a PSF user requests 120-pel resolution for an AFP print job
being sent to the printer, PSF requires 240-pel resources from the
library. Do not store 120-pel resources in the library.
Starting and stopping
the PSF/MVS printer
Starting the printer
When operating the AXIS 5470e when emulating a TCP/IP attached
IPDS printer, you should use JES operator commands, just as if the
printer were channel-attached or SNA-attached.
To start a TCP/IP-attached printer, do the following:
1. Start TCP/IP.
2. Power on the printer(s).
3. Power on the AXIS 5470e.
4. Start the printer FSA as indicated below.
Before starting a PSF FSS, you must have a cataloged startup
procedure in SYS1.PROCLIB or any other system procedure library.
This procedure specifies PSF initialization parameters and libraries
that contain system and installation resources. The name of this
procedure can be specified in the FSSDEF statement of the JES
initialization deck. If the name is omitted, JES3 supplies a default
name, that is chosen for the defined printer.
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Section 5: Setting Up - IBM Mainframe
When you install PSF, you must create or update the required
libraries referenced by the startup procedure, and you should consider
any need to increase the region size, as specified in the EXEC
statement, to accommodate resources and an increased number of
printer FSAs. The startup procedure can also specify defaults that
cannot be set with JES initialization statements for printer FSA
definitions.
Stopping the printer
You can stop a TCP/IP-attached printer in several ways but this is the
recommended method:
Stop the PSF FSA for the printer by entering the following command
from the MVS console.
JES2:
$Pprinter-name
JES3:
*VARY printer-name, OFF
*CANCEL printer-name
Note:
The variable printer-name specifies the name of the printer FSA as defined
in JES definitions, on page 83.
You can now disconnect the power supply from the AXIS 5470e.

Setup using NDPS
The AXIS 5470e supports Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS),
which is Novell’s new generation architecture for printing and printer
administration. You can run NDPS over Pure IP (TCP/IP) or IPX/SPX.
Before the AXIS 5470e can be installed, make sure that NDPS is
installed and a Broker is loaded on your NetWare file server.
AXIS 5470e uses the AXIS NDPS Gateway for printing in networks
using either IP or IPX as transport protocols. The printer gateways are
included with the NDPS software (from version 5.1 and up) and are
automatically installed together with NDPS.
Notes:
• NDPS requires that you run NetWare 4.11 or higher.
• Pure IP is only supported by NetWare 5 or higher.
Installing the AXIS 5470e in an NDPS environments
Having assigned an IP address to the AXIS 5470e as described in
Assigning an IP address, on page 20, you are now ready to install the

Setup using Queue-based printing over IP/IPX in PSERVER Mode
All previous firmware versions of Axis print servers allow users to
print in an IPX environment using traditional queue-based printing in
PSERVER mode. This method is supported in both Bindery and NDS
mode.
Axis Communications is one of the few companies in the world that
offers the possibility of printing in a Pure IP environment, using
queue-based printing in PSERVER mode. This method is only
supported by Axis print servers with firmware version 6.0 and later
and only in NDS environments. Pure IP is only supported by NetWare
5 or higher.
In a Pure IP NetWare environment, the NetWare Administrator should
be used to create the printer, print server and queue objects.

Notes:
• If both the IPX and IP protocols are enabled in your network and the print
server uses DUAL_STACK (enabled by default) as its network transport
protocol, then IPX will be chosen. To force the print server to use the IP
transport protocol, go to your print server’s web interface and choose Admin |
Detailed View | NetWare and change the NetWare Transport Protocol from
DUAL_STACK to IP_ONLY. Save and exit when finished.
• Pure IP requires that you run NetWare 5 or higher.

Queue-based Printing Methods
The following overview explains the advantages and limitations of
the two supported queue-based printing methods.
Print Server Mode
The AXIS 5470e logs in to a file server(s) and repeatedly polls the
print queues for print jobs. In this fashion, the AXIS 5470e emulates a
NetWare print server, which is a workstation running PSERVER. It
provides high printing speed with low network load and is the
recommended mode for medium to large sized networks. Each print
server in PSERVER mode takes one NetWare user license.
Advantages
•
High performance
Limitations
•
In bindery mode, this printing method requires a NetWare user
licence for each AXIS 5470e to file server link.
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Remote Printer Mode
Section 6: Setting Up - NetWare
The AXIS 5470e acts as Remote Printer for PSERVER.NLM running on
the NetWare file server, or to a dedicated workstation running
PSERVER.EXE. In this fashion, the AXIS 5470e emulates a workstation
running the NetWare remote printer software RPRINTER, or
NPRINTER. This mode is only recommended for small networks where
the number of NetWare user licences is a major issue.
Advantages
•
NetWare user licences are not required.
Limitations
•
•
Lower performance.
Higher network load.
NetWare Packet Signature
AXIS 5470e supports NetWare Packet Signature Level 1, 2, 3, which
protects servers and clients using the NetWare Core Protocol™
services. NCP packet signature prevents packet forgery by requiring
the server and the client to sign each NCP packet. See your Novell
NetWare documentation for detailed information.

AXIS Print Monitor Overview
AXIS Print Monitor is the recommended tool to use for network
printing in Windows NT 3.5x environments. It allows AXIS Network
Print Servers to be connected in the same simple fashion as a local
printer port and once installed, is automatically initialized upon
system startup. AXIS Print Monitor has been developed for peer-topeer printing, allowing your print jobs to be sent directly to the print
server.
Printing Environments
AXIS Print Monitor supports printing over NetBIOS/NetBEUI and
TCP/IP (LPR). To enable printing in these environments, please ensure
that the desired printing protocols are running on your client.
Peer-to-Peer Printing
The AXIS Print Monitor needs to be installed on each workstation to
perform peer-to-peer printing. Once installed, the AXIS Print Monitor
allows you to access all network printers, just as if they were
connected directly to your workstation. Peer-to-peer printing offers
the following benefits:
Client-Server Printing
•
You can easily monitor the status of your printers, by enabling
error condition pop-up messages.
•
You do not have to rely on a server.
AXIS Print Monitor needs only to be installed on one server to
perform client-server printing. The installed printers must be
configured to be shared to allow clients to use them. Pop-up
messages should not be enabled on the server as they will not be
displayed on the client platforms.
Note:
AXIS Print Monitor can be used for DOS printing. Please refer to the AXIS Print
Monitor’s Readme file for instructions. The readme file is located in the same
folder where AXIS Print Monitor is installed on your PC.

About
AXIS Print Utility
for Windows
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
AXIS Print Utility for Windows is an application for network printing
in the Windows environment. It allows you to:
•
Install and maintain AXIS 5470e printer ports as Windows printer
ports.
•
Capture and monitor print jobs directed to the AXIS 5470e ports.
Print jobs are directed through a spool directory located on your local
hard disk (peer-to-peer mode), or on the file server (client-server
mode). The printer port status of your AXIS 5470e can be monitored
and pop-up notification messages can be generated, keeping you
informed of completed print jobs or any problem condition.
For more information about AXIS Print Utility for Windows, see the
on-line help.
Notes:
Peer-to-Peer vs.
Client-Server Printing
•
Microsoft Network (NetBIOS/NetBEUI) must be running when using AXIS
Print Utility for Windows.
•
AXIS Print Utility for Windows must be running when printing in peer-topeer mode.
•
The AXIS Print Utility for Windows is not needed on the client platforms for
client-server printing.
•
If you want to change the default name of your AXIS 5470e or amend any
of the default parameters, you can do so using your Web browser. Refer to
Section 11 Management and Configuration, on page 134.
Windows for Workgroups and Windows 3.1 users, requiring access to
a network printer in peer-to-peer mode, will need to install the AXIS
Print Utility for Windows software onto their workstation. Users may
then add the required network printer to their systems and use the
printer as if it was connected directly to their workstation. Peer-topeer printing offers the following benefits:
•
You can monitor the printer status at all times and be notified
when print job are completed.
•
You do not have to rely on a server.
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Section 7: Setting Up - Windows
Client-server operation requires only one user to install the AXIS Print
Utility for Windows software onto their workstation. This user then
adds the printer to his or her workstation (the server) and shares the
printer with other users on the network. The other users (the clients)
can connect to the printer through the server via the Windows Print
Manager.
The client-server mode provides a way of maintaining queue ordering
and job priority, but at a price. This is because:
•
You cannot receive printer status or print job notification.
•
The workstation, setup as the server, must be available at all
times. It must also have the capacity to handle the print jobs that
pass through it.
Notes:
•
When using the client-server mode, other users can still install the AXIS
Print Utility for Windows software, for printing directly to the network
printer in peer-to-peer mode.
•
When using the client-server mode, it is recommended that the server is
setup only on a Windows for Workgroups workstation.
Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups

About AXIS Print
Utility for OS/2
AXIS Print Utility for OS/2 is an application for NetBIOS/NetBEUI
printing in the OS/2 environment. Its allows you to:
•
Install and maintain the AXIS 5470e printer ports as OS/2 printer
ports.
•
Capture and monitor print jobs directed to the AXIS 5470e ports.
Print jobs are directed through a spool directory located on your local
hard disk (peer-to-peer mode), or on the file server (client-server
mode). The printer port status of your AXIS 5470e can be monitored
and pop-up notification messages can be generated, keeping you
informed of completed print jobs or any problem condition.

AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Bi-directional support
Section 9: Setting Up - Macintosh
The AXIS 5470e allows the printer driver to communicate directly
with the printer and consequently facilitates complete functional
control over print jobs, e.g. automatic downloading of fonts not
resident in the printer.
This functionality has backward compatibility with older printers and
Macintosh computers, which means that the AXIS 5470e can
generate appropriate responses to Macintosh printer queries, when
the connected printer does not support bi-directional
communication.
Verifying the Setup
You simply need to print a document from the Macintosh computer
to verify communication to the chosen printer. The basic installation
can be considered complete if the print test is satisfactory. The AXIS
5470e is now ready to use as a print server.
Note:
For information on advanced AppleTalk functions such as non-PostScript printer
support, please refer to the Print Server Technical Reference on the AXIS Product
CD.
ASCII, TBCP and BCP
The Binary Communication Protocol (BCP) and the Tagged Binary
Communication Protocol (TBCP) are communication protocols used
by the serial and parallel ports of a printer. They allow 8-bit binary
data in files concurrent with the use of some control characters, for
communication and print job control. TBCP is required for printing
with a binary data stream on some printers, e.g HP printers.
Note:
Some printers, e.g. Epson InkJet printers, can not be used when TBCP is enabled.

Print Methods on TCP/IP Networks
The AXIS 5470e supports several different print methods in the TCP/IP
environment. axinstall will suggest a print method suitable for your
particular UNIX system, but you might want to use another method
depending on your printing requirements (banner pages, status
logging, etc).
The descriptions below shows the alternative data paths taken by
some of the UNIX print methods. This illustrates some of the
advantages and limitations of the different methods. Use the
following information to determine which method to adopt
LPD
The Line Printer Daemon is a protocol for transferring print jobs
between hosts. This is the recommended method for UNIX systems,
but some System V versions do not support LPD.
Advantages:
Easy to set up – install the AXIS 5470e as a remote queue in System
V, or add a remote printer to /etc/printcap using the rm and rp
fields (BSD).
Limitations:
Spooler features, and printcap or lpr options (BSD) such as
multiple copies, are not available.
FTP
The File Transfer Protocol is used for transferring files between hosts.
Advantages:
Uses industry standard network software on the host.
Limitations:
No printer status logging. In the case of BSD it may conflict with
other input or output filters and does not allow both input and
output filters. In System V no filters or interface programs can be
used.
131
132
Section 10: Setting Up - UNIX
PROS
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
A protocol developed at Axis. Comes in two versions;
named pipe (PROS A) and filter (PROS B).
PROS A - Advantages:
The AXIS 5470e appears as a device to the system. This makes all
filter and model options available. It provides accounting and status
logging. Supports bi-directional printing. The printer information read
back can be viewed in a log file.
PROS A - Limitations:
A ‘C’ compiler is required to build the PROS A drivers.
PROS B - Advantages:
It provides accounting and status logging. Supports bi-directional
printing. The printer information read back can be viewed in a log file.
PROS B - Limitations:
A ‘C’ compiler is required to build the PROS B drivers and in the case
of BSD, it may conflict with other input or output filters. It does not
allow both input and output filters. Interface programs can not be
used in System V.
Note:
You can download a ‘C’ compiler from http://www.gnu.org/.
Reverse Telnet
Often used for printing via a terminal server printer port. Only
recommended if you already have a Reverse Telnet driver installed.
Advantages:
Easy to set up with previously installed Reverse Telnet drivers.
Limitations:
No status logging. Drivers are not supplied with the AXIS 5470e.
Existing drivers may be slow.
Other UNIX Systems
Most UNIX systems resemble either BSD or System V and so with
some ingenuity, a solution can also be devised for other variants.
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Section 10: Setting Up - UNIX
If the system has BSD socket type networking support, then prosbsd
(in the bsd directory of the AXIS 5470e) can be used as a starting
point. It receives print data from stdin, and writes a log file to
stderr. Nothing is written to stdout.
Alternatively, FTP may be used. It is a good idea to use bsd/ftp_bsd
or sysv/ftp_sysv as a starting point.
IBM MVS Systems
A sample JCL script, jclex, is available in the mvs directory of the
AXIS 5470e. It gives an example of how to print a file from an MVS
mainframe to an AXIS 5470e using FTP.

AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Using SNMP
You can use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for
remotely monitoring and configuring of the AXIS 5470e. All major
functions for print servers are supported.
General Information
SNMP refers to a set of standards for network management,
including a protocol, a database structure specification, and a set of
data objects. The AXIS 5470e SNMP implementation runs in the
TCP/IP environment.
The management is handled by NMS (Network Management System)
software running on a host on your network. The NMS software
communicates with network devices by the means of messages,
which are references to one or more objects.
A message can be a question or an instruction to a device, or an
alarm triggered by a specific event in a device. Objects are contained
in data bases called MIBs (Management Information Base), where
MIB-II is a standard database.
The AXIS 5470e supports all relevant parts of MIB-II and also
includes a private enterprise MIB. Refer to The AXIS MIB, on page
153.
System Requirements
for SNMP
The following requirements must be fulfilled in order to make full use
of the AXIS 5470e SNMP support:
•
NMS software that allows you to install private enterprise MIBs
•
A host, supporting FTP, on which to run the NMS software
Follow these steps to add the AXIS MIB to your NMS software:
1. Log in to the AXIS 5470e using FTP.
2. Download the MIB file /snmp/axis.mib to the NMS host.
3. Install the AXIS MIB according to instructions in your NMS
software documentation.
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
The AXIS MIB
Section 11: Management and Configuration
The AXIS MIB contains a large number of objects which may be
categorized as follows:
•
Menu objects - used for viewing and changing the AXIS 5470e
configuration from the NMS program. Refer to The Parameter
List, on page 231.
•
Printer status and unit administration objects - used for monitoring AXIS 5470e print jobs and storing parameter changes permanently.
•
Trap objects - used for alarms at various error conditions.
For technical details, you can view the MIB file (axis.mib) with any
text editor.

Configuring the Print Server from an IBM host
Once communication with an IBM host has been established, all the
AXIS 5470e parameters can be edited by printing a file containing
special configuration commands. To start the configuration, the
command %CONFIG+ is entered in the file. To protect your settings, a
password must be provided. By default, the password is pass. When
all parameters are set, the command SAVE is used to store the
parameters permanently. The command %CONFIG- leaves the
configuration mode and resumes normal printing. The syntax for the
file to print is:
%CONFIG+ <password;>
IBM_PRINTING_PARAMETER_NAME = VALUE;
SAVE;

Section 12: IPP (Internet Printing Protocol)
Section 12
IPP
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
(Internet Printing Protocol)
Overview
The AXIS 5470e print server enables printing over the Internet with
IPP (Internet Printing Protocol), a developing industry standard that
allows users to print to remote printers across the Internet.
With IPP, a user with an Internet connection can send a document to
any Internet-connected printer. IPP is platform-independent and can
be used to print over any LAN or WAN that supports TCP/IP.
In practical terms this means that you can send documents to a
remote printer as an addition to or replacement of fax and e-mail,
with the same quality and color options of traditional network
printing.
In order to print to a remote printer using IPP, you need the
following:
•
An IPP client installed on your computer together with appropriate printer drivers. The IPP client is a tool that adds destination
printers to your printer list. A list of available IPP clients can be
viewed in Currently available IPP clients, on page 160.
•
The printer to which you want to send your print job needs to be
connected to a server with IPP functionality. AXIS 5470e makes it
possible for your printer to receive printjobs from an IPP client.
The IPP-functionality of the AXIS 5470e print server is automatically activated upon installation.
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Section 12: IPP (Internet Printing Protocol)
Before you print to an IPP printer you will need to know:
•
the http:// address of the print server. (The http:// address contains the IP address or host name of the print server, the port
number (which is 631 and only used in the 1.0 standard) and
the printer port name).
•
the brand and model of the printer in order to install the appropriate printer driver.
•
the printer port name of the print server to which the printer is
connected.
Address-schemes for IPP printers
When using IPP printing, you need to know the IP address or host
name of your IPP-enabled Axis print server. IPP is a client-server type
protocol which comprises two industry standards:
•
the 1.0 standard, which uses a http: address scheme
•
the 1.1 standard, which uses an ipp: address scheme
The URL syntax for the destination printer contains:
1. the print server host name or IP-address
2. the port number 631 (only used in the 1.0 standard)
3. the local printer port name
Example using host
name in the 1.0
standard:
If “axisps” is the host name of the AXIS 5470e print server, "631" is
the port number and "LPT1" is the local printer port name, then the
syntax of the address scheme will be http://axisps:631/LPT1 in the
1.0 standard.

standard:
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
If “171.16.5.218” is the IP-address of the AXIS 5470e print server
and "LPT1" is the local printer port name, then the syntax of the
address scheme will be ipp://171.16.5.218/LPT1 in the 1.1
standard.
IPP address using IP address
ipp://171.16.5.218/LPT1

Currently available IPP clients
An IPP client needs to be installed on your computer together with an
appropriate printer driver for proper IPP functionality. The IPP client
is a tool that adds destination printers to your printer list.
The AXIS 5470e print server with integrated IPP is compatible with
any 1.0 and 1.1 - compliant IPP client.
The AXIS 5470e print server presents IPP Printer objects to the client,
one for each printer port. Some of the most common IPP client
printing methods are described later on in this chapter. Please refer
to your client documentation for more specific information.
Some examples of IPP clients on the market:
•
For Windows NT: the Internet Printer Connection software from
Hewlett Packard (can be down-loaded from the Hewlett Packard
web site)
•
For Windows 2000/XP: the Microsoft IPP Client (automatically
installed with OS)
•
For Windows 95/98: IPP clients can be downloaded from the
Microsoft web site
•
For Unix/Linux: CUPS (can be down-loaded from the Common
Unix Printing System web-site: http://www.cups.org)
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Section 12: IPP (Internet Printing Protocol)
User Requirements
The IPP protocol does not require any special configuration of the
AXIS 5470e print server, the IPP function is automatically activated
when you install your AXIS 5470e.
IPP is platform independent.
Firewall Considerations
If there are one or more firewalls between the IPP Client and the
server, you may have to make some changes to the firewall
configuration. IPP uses TCP Port 631 for printing, so any firewalls
between client and server must be configured to allow bi-directional
traffic on that port. Please consult your network administrator if you
think any configuration changes are necessary.

Character Set
Conversion
A common problem in a multiple host environment is that different
hosts use different ASCII character sets. As a result of this, language
specific characters (such as å ü ô ñ) are sometimes printed
incorrectly.
The AXIS 5470e solution to this problem is to assign a character set
conversion filter to a logical printer, and then link that logical printer
to the host causing the problem.
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Section 13: Using Logical Printers
You select your desired conversion filter by setting the Character Set
Conversion (PRx_CSET) parameter. The output from the conversion
filter is always IBM PC Set 2 (Code Page 437), and this is the
character set the printer must be set up for.
Example:
Your network contains a host using the character set ISO 8859-2. In
order to direct itsprint jobs to the printer connected to the AXIS
5470e, you should assign thehost to a separate logical printer, and
install a character set conversion filter.
Follow the instructions below to change the conversion filter:
1. Click admin and the Logical Printer Settings button.
2. Select the PR1 tab.
3. Set the parameter Character Set Conversion to ISO>IBM.
4. Click OK.
The ISO 8859-2 printer data that is sent to logical printer PR1 is
converted to IBM PC Set 2.
The ISO 8859-2 printer data that is sent to logical printer PR1 is
converted to IBM PC Set 2.The ISO 8859-2 printer data that is sent to
logical printer PR1 is converted to IBM PC Set 2.
ASCII to Postscript
Conversion
The AXIS 5470e logical printers can translate ASCII print data into
PostScript format. This makes it possible to print with a PostScript
printer from a host that does not support PostScript. The conversion
is selected by activating a filter that converts ASCII data into
Postscript. This filter can be activated individually for each logical
printer.
Activate your desired filter by setting the Printer Language
Translation (PRx_FILT) parameter.
Example:
Follow the instructions below to convert ASCII print data to
PostScript for logical printer PR2:
1. Click admin and the Logical Printer Settings button.
175
176
Section 13: Using Logical Printers
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
2. Select the PR2 tab.
3. Set the Printer Language Translation parameter to POSTSCR.
4. Click OK.
Note:
If you select the parameter value AUTO_PS, the print data for every print job is
searched and if any ASCII data is found, it is translated into PostScript. This
setting is recommended if you are not sure if the print data is ASCII or PostScript.
Debugging using the
Hex Dump Mode
Example:
When hex dump mode is activated, the print data is printed as
hexadecimal byte values rather than characters; printer control
commands are also printed as hex values. This allows you to inspect
the control and print characters that are being sent to the printer,
which is a useful debugging facility for the more difficult printing
problems.
Follow the instructions below to activate the hex dump mode for
PR1:
1. Click admin and the Logical Printer Settings button.
2. Select the PR1 tab.
3. Set the Hex Dump Mode Enabled radio button to YES.
4. Click OK.
Note:
The page length for hex dump printouts is determined by the lines per page value
of the PostScript page format parameter.

Updating parameters
This is most easily done from the internal web pages of your AXIS
5470e. To set the parameters using a Web browser, you first need to
assign an IP address to the AXIS 5470e. For instructions on how to do
this, refer to Assigning an IP address, on page 20.
Alternatively, you can update the parameters via FTP, TFTP or by using
extended IBM printer emulation.
Using extended IBM printer emulation means setting up the AXIS
5470e by printing a file containing extended IBM emulation
commands to it after you have established communication with your
IBM host. The configuration is started by inserting the sequence
%CONFIG+ in your text. To protect your settings, a password must be
provided. By default, the password is pass. You may then set the
parameter values directly using the syntax shown below:
Syntax:
<Parameter name> = <value> [, <value>];
When all parameters have been set the SAVE command saves the
settings permanently. The %CONFIG- command resumes normal
printing. In order to maintain backward compatibility, some
parameters must be preceded by a %CONFIG++ command. See also
The Parameter List, on page 231.

AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
SNA Gateways
Some hints specific to SNA gateways are given below.
•
AXIS 5470e appears to a gateway as a Down Stream Physical
Unit (DSPU), with eight LUs, 1 to 8 (LU 1 may not be available).
•
Only gateways that communicate with DSPUs using SNA over
LLC type 2 are supported.
•
There are basically two types of gateways that the AXIS 5470e
can be attached to: pass-through gateways and concentrator
gateways, as described below.
Devices attached downstream to this type of gateway are completely
visible to the host. In other words, each DSPU will have a PU
definition on the host. Examples of pass-through gateways are IBM
3745 Communications Controller, IBM 3174 Establishment
Controller, IBM 3172 LAN Interconnect Controller, etc.
You need to set up at least one PU and LU definition for each AXIS
5470e on the host, as described in the VTAM section.
When attaching an AXIS 5470e to a remote pass-through gateway,
you need to set the mapping of SDLC or sub-channel address to MAC
address in the gateway.
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Concentrator gateway,
general
Section 16: SNA Gateways
A concentrator gateway typically behaves as a PU (or a few PUs) to
the host, even though a number of PUs may be available downstream.
If it is an SDLC or channel attached gateway, typically only one SDLC
or sub-channel address will be used. Examples of concentrator
gateways are: IBM Communications Manager/2 (OS/2), Novell
NetWare for SAA (NetWare 3.x), Microsoft SNA Server (Windows NT),
etc.
When an AXIS 5470e is attached to this type of gateway, you can
map the chosen AXIS 5470e LU to any host LU you like. This way,
several print servers may be accessed through the same gateway.
Pooling LUs may not be used for AXIS 5470e.
Concentrator Gateway,
NetWare
This is an outline of the procedure for configuring to a Novell
NetWare for SAA v 2.0 Server. More information is provided in the
‘Suppor’t section of www.axis.com
1. Customize the AUTOEXEC and STARTUP files on the server. Add
the LOAD statements for the LAN and WAN cards, the BTRIEVE
database, and the NetWare for SAA 2.0 Gateway
i.e. LOAD COMMEXEC and LOAD NWSAA.
2. Configure the Communication Executive (this and the following
subjects are done on a WorkStation).
3. Configure SNA Network ID. Either change the default value or let
it stay on default.
4. Configure Data Link Adapters. The configuration is done on the
Data Link Adapters Definitions screen by pressing insert for a
new adapter config, then you always enter the Logical adapter
name, Link type, Logical adapter number and Service status.
191
192
Section 16: SNA Gateways
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
5. Configure PU and LUs. On the Configure PU Profile screen you
can set default LU attributes, starting dependent LU address,
number of dependent LUs, give CP a name, enable off-line test
mode, status assignment of LUs activated by host, status call
host at workstation attach, status PU profile start-up and logical
adapter name. On the Configure Dependent LUs screen you can
set VTAM LU name, lock for a session, LU type and model and
preserve host session.
6. Assign LU Resources and Access Control Lists (ACLs). On the
Configure Dedicated LUs you can dedicate a LU to a person or
device or group of persons. This person(s) is described in the
access control lists.
7. Configure Downstream PU. Choose Configure Downstream PUs
and press insert. Give it a name and fill in starting LU address or
leave at default, type in number of DownStream LUs and logical
adapter name:
Configure Downstream PU Connection
Downstream PU name (CP name): _____________________________DPUname
Starting downstream LU address: ___________________________2
Number of downstream LUs: _________________________________1
Logical adapter name: _____________________________________
The CSCON adds new parameters according to the adapter type you
have set. The resulting screen can look like this:

Section 17
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Extended IBM Printer Emulation
When printing from an IBM host, the AXIS 5470e allows you to make
use of the following printer functions not found in standard IBM
printers:
•
Configuration Mode
•
Hex Transparency
•
User Defined Strings
•
String Substitutions
•
Bar Codes
•
Font Selection.
This appendix provides a brief overview of some of these functions.
Configuration Mode
The Configuration Mode provides a way to configure your AXIS 5470e
from your IBM system. For more information see SNA Parameter
Overview, on page 183.
User Defined Strings
The User Definable Strings are a set of 256 programmable sequences.
The UDS are useful for storing long sequences, such as printer
function sequences, within the AXIS 5470e. Each sequence can be
activated by inserting a short control command in your documents.
String Substitutions
The String Substitution function searches the output data stream for
specified sequences of AIC characters (Match Strings), and
substitutes them with other sequences (Substitute Strings). Up to 128
pairs of Match/Substitute Strings may be defined.
Note:
AIC (AXIS Internal Codes) are listed in the AXIS Network Print Server Technical
Reference.
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Font Selection
Section 17: Extended IBM Printer Emulation
Fonts can be selected directly by FGID (Extended Emulation
commands or SCS SFG commands) or indirectly by pitch SCS SCD/SPD
commands.
Notes:
Hex Transparency
•
SFG control code is only supported by Twinax page printer emulations
•
Matrix printers only support a few fonts
The Transparency function allows you to send ASCII data to the
printer directly from the host application. The data may be Postscript,
PCL, HP-GL or any other language supported by the printer. This gives
you access to all the features of the connected printer from within
the IBM environment.
When the percent and less-than characters (%<) are received, the
AXIS 5470e will switch to hex transparency mode. The following data
(given as hexadecimal byte values or quoted text) is passed directly to
the printer without any conversion. The hex transparency mode
continues until the greater-than and percent characters (>%) are
received.
The following example shows how to embed HP-PCL ‘start
underline’ (<ESC>&d0D) and ‘stop underline’ (<ESC>&d0@)
commands in your documents:
The word %<1B26643044>%underline%<1B266440>% is
underlined.
You can also use %<1B,"&d0D">%quoted text%<1B,"&d0@">%
Resulting printout:
The word underline is underlined
You can also use quoted text.
Bar Codes
The bar code function provides easy access to a range of standard bar
code types resident in the AXIS 5470e. Bar codes can only be printed
on PCL printers.
195
196
Section 17: Extended IBM Printer Emulation
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Before the bar codes can be printed, a bar code format has to be
defined. This format sets the type and size of the bar code to be
printed. Up to 16 formats can be predefined. The definitions are made
by setting up the BAR parameter.
The BAR parameter takes several arguments, separated by commas,
as shown below:
BAR <number>=<type>,<width>,<height>,<text mode>,
<check mode>;
•
number is the bar code definition number in the range 0–15. This
number is used to refer to the definition when printing the bar
code.
•
type is the predefined bar code type. Valid values are:

Description
•
width is the bar code module width in 1/1000 inch. Valid range is
1 to 1000. The default value is 12.
•
height is the bar code element height in 1/24 inch. Valid range is
1 to 500. The default value is 12.
•
text mode selects if human readable text is printed under the bar
code or not. ‘YES’ or ‘ON’ will turn on text, ‘NO’ or ‘OFF’ will turn
off text. The default mode is ‘ON’.
•
check mode selects if a check digit will be generated or not. ‘YES’
or ‘ON’ will generate a check digit, ‘NO’ or ‘OFF’ will not generate
a check digit. The default mode is ‘ON’. The check digit will
always be generated for bar code types UPCA, EAN8 and EAN13,
regardless of the setting of check mode.
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Section 17: Extended IBM Printer Emulation
To set up the BAR parameter, use the %CONFIG command in your
document. To print bar codes, bar code commands may be included
anywhere in your documents. They begin with ‘percent-slash’ (%/)
followed by the word BAR. Then follows the number of the bar code
definition to be used, a comma, and the sequence to be printed. The
command is ended by a semi-colon (;).
Setting up the bar code parameters and printing bar codes
%CONFIG+
BAR 0 = EAN8,12,4,ON;
BAR 1 = EAN8,12,8,ON;
SAVE;
%CONFIG%/BAR 0,"0123456"; %/BAR 1,"0123456";
Once the BAR parameter has been set up, you will only need to use
the bar code commands to print the bar codes

IBM Fonts
Fonts can be indirectly selected by the IBM system using pitch
selection (CPI). In order to gain full access to the fonts the AXIS
5470e offers an alternative font selection command. Please note that
matrix printers only support a few fonts.
Font selection commands may be included anywhere in your
documents. They begin with ‘percent-slash’ (%/) followed by the
word FONT and the font number (Font Global Identifier, FGID). An
optional point size value, preceded by a comma, may be included. The
command is ended by a semi-colon (;).
The following example shows how to select the 10 CPI Courier (fixed
pitch) font.

Fonts are selected by a FGID (Font Global Identifier) and mapped to a
printer resident PCL font, selected to make a close match to the
original IBM font. The IBM to PCL font mapping is controlled by the
Font Definition Table. All entries in this table are fully editable, and
you can also add new entries.
Note:

The default setting is Disabled.
215
216
Section 20: IPDS Overview
Duplex Support
Optimize Duplex
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
The Duplex Support setting determines whether duplex support for
the attached printer shall be reported to the host. Enabled means
that duplex commands are transferred to the printer. Disabled means
that duplex printing is not supported. The default setting is Disabled.
Use this option to optimize duplex print jobs. Optimization means
that sheets are printed in simplex if the reverse side of the sheet is
empty, resulting in higher throughput.
Note:
Some printers will internally turn the sheet upside down when duplex is used. this
may cause undesired effects when using pre-printed forms. Setting this
parameter to No will force the entire job to be printed in duplex mode
N-up
Default output bin
The N-up parameter defines if 1, 2 or 4 pages in your document are
to be printed on each physical page.
This selection defines which output paper bin should be used as
default.
The default selection is Bin 1.
Default input bin
This selection defines which input paper bin should be used as
default.
The default selection is Bin 1.
IPDS bin 1-5
The physical paper size selection must match the actual paper size
you are using for Bin 1-5. The predefined sizes are Statement, Ledger,
Folio, Hagaki, Executive, Letter, Legal, A4 and A3.
The default size is A4.
If you are using another paper format, select Custom. This selection
requires that you define the paper size by setting the parameters
Physical Paper Width and Physical Paper Length to the appropriate
values.

IPDS PostScript
Configuration
Click the IPDS PostScript Driver Settings tab and enter the
configuration settings for the parameters as described below. When
you are finished, click OK at the bottom of the page to save your
settings to the print sever.
Loaded Font
Smoothing
A downloaded 240 dpi font may appear jagged when printed on a
300 dpi printer. The AXIS 5470e uses a font smoothing feature to
enhance the appearance of these fonts. The font smoothing may be
disabled if you want to speed up the font loading or if your printer
has insufficient PostScript virtual memory.
Loaded font smoothing is Enabled by default.
Note:
Font smoothing is optimized for printers with 300 dpi resolution. If your printer
has a resolution of 600 dpi or higher, the smoothing effect will be less significant.
In these cases we recommend that you disable the font smoothing to avoid
reduction in the performance.
PostScript Error
Handler
Use this parameter to download a PostScript Error Handler to the
printer at power on. Once downloaded, the Error Handler will print an
error message if a PostScript error occurs.
The Error Handler is Disabled by default.
Optimize Overlays
Enabling this parameter will activate an overlay optimization feature
resulting in faster throughput when using host downloaded overlays.
Enabling this feature will require more free Postscript Virtual Memory
in the printer.
Virtual
Memory Kb
This value defines how much memory the AXIS 5470e can use in the
PostScript printer for storing resources.
The default value is 2000 kbytes.

AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Section 20: IPDS Overview
IPDS Fonts
This section describes how IPDS fonts are handled by the AXIS 5470e.
There are two different approaches to font handling:
•
downloading fonts from the host.
•
using fonts that are already resident in the printer.
Both methods are supported by the AXIS 5470e.
Host Downloaded
fonts
IPDS provides functions for downloading fonts from the host
computer. The font resolutions of 240, 300 and 600 dpi are
automatically converted by AXIS 5470e to the resolution of the
attached printer.
Note:
AS/400 downloaded fonts requires [AFP = *YES] in the AS/400 device description.
Printer Resident Fonts
The rest of this section deals with printer resident fonts. The nonstandard PostScript fonts are resident in the AXIS 5470e (OCR-B is
one example), so you do not need font cards etc. to use the listed
fonts.
In IPDS mode, printer resident fonts can be selected by the system
referring to the FGID (Font Global IDentifier) and FW (Font Width).
AXIS 5470e supports a large set of resident fonts.
Note:
(IBM Mainframe only) For PSF systems, resident fonts need to be mapped to the
host font name and code page. In PSF/MVS, this is done using the APSRMARK
utility and in PSF/VM using the APRFTBLV (RSCS) or APRFTIDB files. For more
information, refer to the PSF/MVS and PSF/VM manuals.

The AXIS 5470e supports extended font mapping at PostScript level,
making it possible to redefine any of the FGIDs.
Immediate Font Substitutions
Certain FGIDs will be immediately substituted by the AXIS 5470e. The
substitution table depends on the selected IBM printer emulation.
Unsupported Fonts
A selection of an unsupported FGID value will result in a substitution
to a default font. The AXIS 5470e uses the same default fonts as the
emulated IBM printers.
AXIS 5470e User’s Manual
Section 20: IPDS Overview
Typographical Fonts
This section deals with font width selections for typographical
(proportional pitch) fonts.
Note that when an unsupported typographical font (FGID range 512 65534) is selected, the resulting font will be a fixed pitch and the
selected font width value will be ignored.
Default Font Width
When the default font width is selected, the AXIS 5470e will set a
font width in one of the following ways depending on the selected
IBM printer emulation:
IBM 4028/4332
The font width is set to 67 (corresponding to a 10 point font).
IBM 3812/3816
The font width is set to the smallest available value for the selected
FGID. For FGID 16951 (Century Schoolbook), the resulting font width
is 102 (12 points), and for FGID 5687 (Times Roman), the resulting
font width is 40 (6 points).
Scalable Fonts
If the selected font width (point size) is not available for the selected
FGID, the AXIS 5470e will set a point size in one of the following
ways depending on the font:
Times Roman,
Helvetica
and Century
Schoolbook
The font width value is converted to a point size used to dynamically
scale the selected font. This means that you have a completely free
choice of point sizes (only limited by the host application) when
printing with these fonts.
Any other
typographical font
The nearest smaller available font width for the selected FGID will be
used. If a smaller font width is not available, the nearest larger font
width will be used.

Section 23: The Parameter List
The Parameter List
This appendix provides an overview of the AXIS 5470e parameters.
Please refer to the AXIS Network Print Server Technical Reference
for a complete description of the parameters. The Technical
Reference is available on the AXIS Network Product CD.
Alternatively, you can access the Axis web site http://www.axis.com/
where you can download the latest technical information.
The Config File
The left-hand column shows the parameters and their default values
as they appear in the config file and the right-hand column shows
the name of the parameters as they appear in the internal Web
pages.
After you have changed them, most parameters take effect for the
next print job. If Requires Restart appears in a parameter description,
you must restart the AXIS 5470e, before the new setting for that
parameter takes effect.
Please refer to Section 11 Management and Configuration, on page
134, for more information about how to change the parameters.

The print server software is stored in Flash Memory. This memory is
provided by a silicon chip that like any other ROM device, retains
data content even after power is removed. However, Flash Memory is
unique because it allows its data to be erased and re-written. This
means that you can install software updates for your server as soon as
they become available, without having to replace any parts. The new
software is simply loaded into the server over the network.

Physical Unit type within SNA. The software in an SNA node
controlling the node's communications hardware.
SNA PU type 2.1 allows local user ports to communicate without
going thorough a host node's SSCP services. RARP
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol. A TCP/IP protocol used for
downloading IP addresses in UNIX networks. It requires a RARP
daemon on your system, and only operates within a single network
segment. A request made to an active RARP daemon initiates a
search of the Ethernet Address Table for an entry matching the print
server's Ethernet address. If a matching entry is found, the daemon
downloads the IP address to the print server.
RISC
Reduced Instruction Set Computing. A processor that recognizes only
a limited number of assembly-language instructions.
SAP
