Configuring an EIA 232 asynchronous printer/plotter device

This procedure allows you to define and configure a printer/plotter device connected to a standard serial port, an 8-port asynchronous adapter, or a 16-port asynchronous adapter.

  1. To create a printer/plotter device on an asynchronous adapter, use the smit pdp fast path to access the Printer/Plotter Devices menu.
  2. Select Add a Printer/Plotter.
  3. Make a selection from the list of printer and plotter types shown on the screen, and press Enter.
    For this example, the following selection was made:
    osp Other serial printer
  4. Select the rs232 option.
  5. Make a selection from the available 8-port controllers on the screen. If no controllers are displayed or if they are shown in a defined state, check the configuration, cabling, and setup again.
  6. In the displayed dialog fields, you can add or change the printer/plotter device attributes.
  7. When you have finished, select Do.
