What is the “Manufacturer Type and Model” Parameter?
Whatever the selected printer protocol (Prt5250 or LPD), the printer is considered by OS/400 as an “OUTQUEUE type 3812” with the “Host Print Transform (TRANSFORM)” mode enabled. The printer is handled by the AS/400 with the information given either by the PRT5250 protocol, either by the CHGOUTQ with the LPD protocol. When the “Host Print Transform (TRANSFORM)” parameter is set to “YES”, the AS/400 converts EBCDIC characters of the printer flow into ASCII characters. But sometimes this basic operation is not enough for a enhanced print function (attributes, fonts, etc.). Another parameter, “Manufacturer Type and Model” (MFRTYPMDL) allows to specify the printer driver. A printer driver list is provided as a standard feature. (But when it’s required, a customized driver can be created). For more information about the printer driver selection, click here.
