PQ-6 PLUS (RO)

You must configure the system at a console to inform the operating system of the new device port, address,

and unit ID assignments.

NOTE

You don’t have to configure the system if a previously existing 5256, 5224, or 5225

printer was replaced by the PQ-6 PLUS (RO) or if you have auto-config enabled on the

AS/400. If the PQ-6 PLUS (RO) is replacing an existing device, printer ID and device

addressing must remain as established for the removed device.
