Sending Resources to Printers

Introduction

Mapping allows you to not always send fonts and overlays to the printer so you can save network bandwidth, which can also be a problem when the printer does not have the resources in its memory anymore.

The MAPRSTPRT command sends resources to the printer.

Configuring which resources to send

Step 1: Configuring the resources

To configure the resources, enter CALL MAP_C022 on a command line in Mapping.

Note: From version 10.1.0, the MAPRSTPRT command has a new *CONFIG value in parameter "Editor name".

Press F6 to create a new association and enter the name of the queue you want to configure.

Next, you can see the list of existing Mapping formats. Enter 1 before each format you want to send the resources for to the printer.

Step 2: Sending the resources

To send the resources configured on the printer, run command MAPRSTPRT:

Specify the name of the editor. In general it is the name of the queue that is used. You can stop and/or restart the Editor. Enter the type of Stop you want:

• *PAGEEND waits for the current page to be printed
• *CNTRLD waits for the current spool file to be printed
• *IMMED stops the Editor immediately

Choose *YES if you wish to restart the Editor, or else choose *NO.

Specify the name of the queue configured to reload the resources.

Notes

You can configure the command MAPRSTPRT in the AS/400 jobs schedule but make sure the specified jobd uses Mapping libraries.

For example, use jobd MAPDMIDDLE of the library containing the Mapping objects.
