APAR Error Description / Circumvention

DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM FIXED FOR APAR SA59037 :
-----------------------------------------------
    When printing to a d/t6408-12 or d/t4230 printer attached
    through the 7913 defined as AFP TCP/IP printer, the
    customer is getting a msgpqt3630 rc 021E0200.  The afp
    dataarea ipdspasthr parm is set to *yes.  Font requested is
    fgid 011 and print quality (prtqlty) is *std or *draft.
    This problem also occurs for twinax attached impact printers
    (64XX, 4230, 4247, etc) that are configured AFP(*YES) and
    specifiy IPDS pass through yes.
 
CORRECTION FOR APAR SA59037 :
-----------------------------
   For AFP(*YES) configured printers, when IPDS pass through *YES
   is specified, a exceptiona handling command (EHC) is not
   sent to the printer. This command is required to suppress
   certain errors such as a mismatch between font and print quality
   on impact printers (64XX, 4230, 4224, 4234). Suppressing the
   error allows the printer to substitute another font (same pitch)
   and continue printing without reporting the error back to the
   host. Mismatches occur when printing with font 011 and
   print qualify *STD or *DRAFT. Also other combinations.
   EHC command will be sent to printer for IPDS pass through.
 
CIRCUMVENTION FOR APAR SA59037 :
--------------------------------
 
   Change IPDS pass through to NO.

Activation Instructions

   None.

Special Instructions

   If this PTF is applied or removed as a "Delayed" PTF, which
   requires an IPL, no special consideration is necessary.  If this
   PTF is applied or removed "Immediate", this should be done in a
   restricted mode (apply the PTF from the system console after
   ending all of the subsystems).
 
 
   ********************************************************************
   THE FOLLOWING ARE SUPERSEDED SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS. IF THE SUPERSEDED
   PTF HAS ALREADY BEEN APPLIED AND ITS SPECIAL INSTRUCTION FOLLOWED,
   IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO FOLLOW THAT SPECIAL INSTRUCTION AGAIN.
   ********************************************************************
 
   SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERSEDED PTF SF34112 :
   =================================================
 
   This PTF will only affect d/t3935, d/t3130, d/t3160, and some
   d/t3900 printers for APAR SA55948.  When this PTF is applied and
   the QPRTVALS data area is set up according to the following
   instruction, the AS/400 will always select a scalable font for
   printing with MULTIUP or computer output reduction or when the
   spooled file attributes specify FONT(*CPI).  If the font
   identifier in the printer device description is between 300 and
   511 (inclusive), this font will be selected and scaled to an
   appropriate point size.  If the font in the device description
   is not between 300 and 511, the AS/400 will use font 304.
 
   Font 304 is a scalable Gothic font that is supported by these
   printers for almost all SBCS code pages except Arabic, Cyrillic
   Greek, Hebrew, Latin 2/3/4/5, and Symbols.  Another recommended
   font is 416, a scalable Courier Roman font that is supported for
   almost all SBCS code pages except Japanese Katakana.
 
   To activate this new function, follow these instructions:
 
      1) Check to see if a data area called QUSRSYS/QPRTVALS
         exists on your system:
 
         DSPDTAARA DTAARA(QUSRSYS/QPRTVALS)
 
      2) If it does not exist, you should create it:
 
         CRTDTAARA DTAARA(QUSRSYS/QPRTVALS) TYPE(*CHAR)
                   LEN(256) VALUE('     Y')
 
           This will place a 'Y' in the sixth position of
           the data area.
 
      3) If it already exists, key in the following
         command:
 
         CHGDTAARA DTAARA(QUSRSYS/QPRTVALS (6 1)) VALUE('Y')
 
         This will put the character 'Y' in the sixth byte
         of the data area.
 
      4) Make sure the data area is owned by the QSYS user profile:
 
         CHGOBJOWN QUSRSYS/QPRTVALS OBJTYPE(*DTAARA) NEWOWN(QSYS)
 
   To change the default to something other than 304:
 
         CHGDEVPRT DEVD(printername) FONT(416 12.0)
 
   If you wish to deactivate this new function, change the
   data area and restart the printer writers:
 
         CHGDTAARA DTAARA(QUSRSYS/QPRTVALS (6 1)) VALUE('N')
 
 
   SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERSEDED PTF SF32911 :
   =================================================
 
   4230/4214 EMULATION MODE:
 
   - For 4230/4214 emulation, only one attachment may be on the printer
     at a time.
 
   - If you want to use the automatic sheet feeder, it
     is best that you run in 4230/4214 emulation mode.
     For automatic sheet feeder, specify on the printer file
     FORMFEED(*AUTOCUT), DRAWER(N) where N is
     1 - For Drawer 1
     2 - For Drawer 2
     3 - For Drawer 3
 
   - For 4230/4214 continuous forms, specify on the printer file
     FORMFEED(*CONT)
 
   4247 MODE:
 
   - For 4247 mode, multiple attachments may be on the printer at the same
     time, but in this mode, the drawer selection number for the automatic
     sheet feeder have changed. Specify on the printer file
     FORMFEED(*AUTOCUT), DRAWER(N) where N is
     5 - For Drawer 1
     6 - For Drawer 2
     7 - For Drawer 3
 
   - For 4247 front continuous forms attachment, specify on the printer file
     FORMFEED(*CONT)
 
   - For 4247 rear continuous forms attachment (V3R1 and V3R6)
     specify on the printer file
     FORMFEED(*AUTOCUT) DRAWER(2)
 
   - For 4247 rear continuous forms attachment (V3R2)
     specify on the printer file
     FORMFEED(*CONT2) or
     FORMFEED(*AUTOCUT) DRAWER(2)
 
   SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERSEDED PTF SF28848 :
   =================================================
 
   The QWP4019 program resides in library QSYS with Versions 2
   and 3 of OS/400.  Parameters *ON5256, *ON5262, and *OFF52 are
   new with this PTF.  Execution of this program manipulates
   flags in the printer's device description.  Since the flags
   are stored in the device description, this program only needs
   to be run once for each device and each function.  The flags
   will only be changed by executing this program or by deleting
   the device description.  The print writer for the device
   should be restarted after the QWP4019 program has been called
   to guarantee that the function is enabled.
 
   ______________________________________________________________
 
   CALL QWP4019 (printername *ON5256)
 
   This will cause the operating system to configure the printer
   as a D/T5256.
 
   ______________________________________________________________
 
   CALL QWP4019 (printername *ON5262)
 
   This will cause the operating system to configure the printer
   as a D/T5262.
 
   ______________________________________________________________
 
   CALL QWP4019 (printername *OFF52)
 
   Turns off the *ON5256 and *ON5262 flags in the device
   description.
 
   ______________________________________________________________
