IBM 4247-003 Printer attached to AS400 via Axis Print Server

I have an IBM 4247 printer attached to AS400 via Ethernet (Axis PS
540+).
It does all of its printing at Near-Letter-Quality.  Unless I change
the spool file or the printer file to *DRAFT or *FASTDRAFT.
It seems that the AS-400 defualt of *STD corresponds to *NLQ.  Is
there a way to change the default to *DRAFT.  How can I get my reports
to print in draft mode?
When I try to print for example pages 1 to 5 from 40 pages spoolfile ,
all 40 pages will be printed. How can I change it and which way ?

Best Regards
Mariusz

If your using rmtoutq's you cannot specify page range.

I would change the program that is creating the spooled file, before
you run the program do an ovrprtf.

That's not entirely true. There is a driver you can specify in the  OUTQ
definition that will enable you to define page ranges (although it
doesn't always work 100% as expected). I can't remember the exact name,
but it's something like TSPR***. Maybe someone else can post the exact
name.

1. IBM 4247 printer with TCP/IP AXIS print-server

Hello All,

Is there anybody familar with configuring matrix printers (IBM 4247) with
Ethernet TCP/IP print-servers(AXIS). We bought 4247 printer and it was
shipped with an Ethernet AXIS print-server which is to be connected to
parallel port of the printer (AXIS is compatible with HP JetDirect). This
method is OK for us, but I am a bit lost with configuration of this
connection.

Our company successfully uses HP JetDirect printers and I configured them to
print from AS/400. I use class *LAN, type 3812, LAN attachment *IP, privide
IP-address, port 9100,  System driver program - *HPPJLDRV and it works OK. I
tried to do the same for 4247 printer - it just prints PJL-commands and
nothing else. It seems that 3812 must a laser printer, not a matrix.

Could somebody give me some practical recommendations about parameters in
CRTDEVPRT command?

Thanks a lot.

Oleksiy.
