Xerox XDPE/400 (also known as EOMS I-Services) Support & Software User Guide

Verify that the interface between your AS/400 system and your Xerox 

printer is set up to emulate an IBM printer and to convert SNA character 

mode data. Table 4-8 shows the available interface emulation for each 

printer mode. Refer to your specific printer manual for the correct 

emulation setting for your printer.
For XPPM mode printers, be sure the Spur or the Solimar interface box is 

set to emulate the 5225.
Also verify that the AS/400 can print to the Xerox printer using the AS/400 

printer writer.

You must create a device description for your non-network or twinax 

locally-attached Xerox printer. If your AS/400 is set up to automatically 

configure devices upon connection, the system creates the device 

description as soon as you plug in the printer. The OS/400 system value 

QAUTOCFG specifies whether devices that are added to the system are 

configured automatically.
You can refer to your OS/400 device description when you run sample 

jobs at the end of installation.
