Hardware installation  
Important! Discharge yourself from static electricity immediately before unpacking or otherwise handling interfaces  
or memory. Do this by touching an unpainted part of the printer’s metal cabinet. Alternatively, you can wear an anti-  
static wrist strap  
1. If the printer is going to be used for IPDS printing and needs extra printer memory, you must install this extra  
memory before installing the A/T FS3 in the printer.  
2. Make sure you have the following items needed for the installation:  
the A/T FS3 interface  
a Coax DB9 connector cable or a Twinax CB9 connnector cable  
(Note: If you are using an IBM cabling system, you need a Twinax dummy plug, which is available from your  
point of purchase or from Intermate A/S.)  
a screw driver  
3. Power the printer Off and unplug the power cord. If the printer is not powered Off before the installation, parts  
of the A/T FS3 or the printer may be permanently damaged.  
 
   
5. When you are finished, power the printer Off and set the switch to position “0" (= Normal operation). Changed  
settings, if any, will be activated on the next power On.  
4.2 Remote Menu System using a terminal program  
The Menu System included in theA/T FS3 can be accessed remotely via a terminal program. The following  
instructions apply to the HyperTerminalTM program delivered with Windows. They can be used with almost any  
terminal program with only a few adjustments if any.  
1. Power the printer Off.  
2. Remove the Coax or Twinax DB9 connector cable, so the printer is not connected to any network.  
3. Connect the PC to the printer via the serial config/upgrade cable included with the A/T FS3.  
4. Start the terminal program.  
5. Turn the rotary switch on the A/T FS3 to position “5” to activate the Remote Menu System.  
6. Power the printer On. The Menu System presents itself with the main menu from where you can access and  
edit all options.  
7. When you are finished editing the options, return to the main menu.  
8. Exit the Remote Menu System by turning the rotary switch to position “0”.  
9. Power the printer Off.  
10. Reconnect the printer to the system.  
11. The new settings are activated the next time the printer is powered On.  
The User’s Guide provides more information on using HyperTerminal.  
4.3 Front panel  
When you configure using the front panel, you edit the parameters labeled IP-address and Subnet mask address.  
This does not affect the operation of the printer, as these settings are only used by the A/T FS3.  
Most front panels are operated like this:  
1. Make sure that the rotary switch is set to position “0.” If it is not, power the printer Off, and set it to 0.  
2. Power the printer On and Press the “Mode” button.  
3. Scroll through the choices with “+” or “-“ until you see Interface or Interface type. Press Enter.  
4. If the panel doesn’t already show interface type as “Option”, scroll through the choices with “+” or “-“ until it  
does. Press Enter.  
5. Push the “>” button; you will be in the “TCP/IP” part of the menu.  
6. Push the “>” button again. Now you can use “+” or “-“ to scroll through “DHCP”, “IP Address”, “Subnet Mask”  
and “Gateway”. Let us assume you want to work with the IP Address parameter.  
7. When you have scrolled to “IP Address”, press “Enter” to activate editing.  
8. Editing starts on the right-most digit. Use the “+” and “-” buttons to adjust the value to your liking.  
9. If you need to edit other digits, use the “<” and “>” buttons to move to the desired digit(s). Each value is set with  
the “+” and “-” buttons.  
10. To finish editing, press the “Enter” button; this will also save the value.  
11. If you need to work with a different parameter, use the “+” or “-“ buttons to toggle through, for example to  
“Subnet Mask”.  
12. When you are done with the last “Enter” (to save a setting), press Exit/Mode.  
13. You may need to power the printer Off – and then On – to activate a changed setting.  
Depending on the mode the A/T FS3 is running (Coax or Twinax), the address bytes control different options. See  
Figure 1 - Figure 4 below.

Initial Configuration for Coax or Twinax  
5.4 Initial Coax configuration  
1. Insert the Coax cable’s DB9 connector in the A/T FS3 and connect the Coax connector with the communication  
cable from the IBM 3x74 controller.  
2. Power the printer On.  
3. Create your host printer(s).  
1. Create a definition for an IBM SCS printer in VTAM according to the Printer Emulation selected in the A/T  
FS3. The default is an IBM 3812 printer. Consult your system administrator if in doubt.  
2. If you intend to print IPDS, then create a VTAM definition for an IPDS printer default IPDS Emulation is an  
IBM 3912/16 (3112/16) 300 dpi printer.  
4. If you need to have other option settings than the factory defaults, you can adjust the most important options  
via the front panel (see section 4.3, page 3) or via the rotary switch menu system (see section 4.1, page 2).  
The options in question are Printer Emulation, Screen Buffer Size, and Country Code Selection.  
5. This concludes the SCS installation. You can check the options settings by printing a status sheet (see section  
3, page 2). If you wish to be able to print IPDS as well, continue with the next steps.  
6. To enable IPDS printing via the front panel: IPDS printing is controlled by the right-most digit of the IP-address  
parameter. Assuming that all the other digits are left at default, you would be changing 000.003.020.010 to  
000.003.020.011. See section 4.3, page 3, for instructions on how to use the front panel.  
Alternatively, you can enable IPDS printing via the rotary switch menu system (see section 4.1, page 2).  
7. If you wish to have other IPDS option settings than the factory defaults, you can adjust the most important  
options via the front panel (see section 4.3, page 3) or via the rotary switch menu system (see section 4.1,  
page 2). The IPDS options in question are Stacked Page Counter Update, Emulation, Code Page, and Code  
Page Version.  
This concludes the IPDS installation.  
5.5 Initial Twinax configuration  
1. You must set a device address BEFORE you connect to your system controller. The default device address is  
zero; valid values are [0-6]. Before selecting an address, print a list of device addresses on the current system  
printer with the CL command on your AS/400:  
PRTDEVADR <Enter>  
This prompts you for a device controller description, i.e.:  
CTL## <Enter> (“##” = controller number)  
Contact your system administrator if in doubt.  
The following instructions are for setting the device address via the front panel. You can use the Switch Menu  
System instead (see section 4.1, page 2).  
2. Using the buttons as explained in section 4.3, page 3, navigate to the IP Address parameter and start editing  
by pressing Enter.  
3. The twinax SCS device address is stored in the right-most digit. Assuming that 000.000.005.000 is default, and  
your chosen twinax device number is 4, you would change the address to 000.000.005.004. If the device  
number is 5, change the address to 000.000.005.005. And so on. If the device number is 0, leave the settings  
unchanged. Valid values are from [0 – 6]. The device address is disabled if a value of 7 or more is entered.  
4. If you need to have other option settings than the factory defaults, you can adjust the most important options  
via the front panel (see the overview in section 4.3, page 3) or via the Switch Menu System (see section 4.1,  
page 2). The options in question are Printer Emulation, Code Page, and Country Code.  
5. This concludes the SCS configuration. You can check the options settings by printing a status sheet (see  
section 3, page 2). If you wish to be able to print IPDS as well, continue with the steps 6-8. Otherwise, proceed  
6. To enable IPDS printing via the front panel: IPDS printing is controlled by the right-most digit of the Subnet  
Mask parameter, which represents the IPDS device address. On the front panel, edit the right-most digit. For  
gs-019-02 A/T FS3 Getting Started. Edition 2. 9 November 2004

example, if the chosen IPDS Device number is 3, assuming that all the other digits are left at default, you would  
be changing 001.000.002.107 to 001.000.002.103 See section 4.3, page 3. Valid values for IPDS printing are  
[0-6]; the default value 7 means that IPDS printing is disabled.  
You can also enable IPDS printing via the Switch Menu System (see section 4.1, page 2).  
7. If you wish to have other IPDS option settings than the factory defaults, you can adjust the most important  
options via the front panel (see section 4.3, page 3) or via the Switch Menu System (see section 4.1, page 2).  
The IPDS options in question are Printer Emulation, Stacked Page Counter Update, Buffer Size, Code Page,  
and Code Page Version.  
8. Power the printer Off.  
9. If you already have an AS/400 printer device description available on the system, you can complete the  
installation now by connecting the printer to the system and powering it On. Otherwise, you should NOT  
connect it, but keep the printer powered off and continue with the steps below.  
The steps below apply to the configuration of an AS/400 when attaching a printer with the A/T FS3.  
10. Enable Auto Configuration, if necessary, with the CL command:  
CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QAUTOCFG) VALUE('1') <Enter>  
11. Connect the printer to the system and power it On.  
12. Verify the detection of a new device type *3812 and optionally *IPDS, by using the CL command WRKDEVD  
PRT* and pressing F5 (refresh) continuously.  
13. If you want to enable OS/400 AFP Print Services for the *IPDS device use the following commands (sample  
device name PRT08):  
VRYCFG CFGOBJ(PRT08) CFGTYPE(*DEV) STATUS(*OFF) <Enter>  
CHGDEVPRT DEVD(PRT08) AFP(*YES) <Enter>  
VRYCFG CFGOBJ(PRT08) CFGTYPE(*DEV) STATUS(*ON) <Enter>  
14. Start the Printer Writer for the device:  
STRPRTWTR DEV(PRT08) <Enter>  
15. Make a test printout:  
CHGJOB PRTDEV(PRT08) <Enter>  
PRTUSRPRF <Enter>  
If you do not receive a printout, check if there is a message waiting on the writer:  
WRKWTR PRT* <Enter>  
16. If you had to enable Auto Configuration in step 10, disable it again:  
CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QAUTOCFG) VALUE('0') <Enter>  
This completes the installation.

Firmware upgrade  
Before starting to use your A/T FS3, you should check the current firmware level on a status sheet (see how on  
page 2). Visit www.intermate.com/atfs3 to see if there is newer firmware. If so, you should update the A/T FS3.  
The components used in the A/T FS3 are:  
K60-xxxx.zip Boot code  
K61-xxxx.zip Coax main code  
K62-xxxx.zip Twinax main code  
K63-xxxx.zip IPDS firmware (main code and fonts)  
The level of each component is indicated by the number (xxxx) following the ID (K6x). The higher the level number  
is, the newer the firmware.  
The firmware files are downloaded serially to the A/T FS3. Use the Intermate Download Utility program, which is  
available on the CD and on the Intermate web site. Download the file named P16-xxxx.zip. The file is self-  
extracting and can be extracted to any directory. If you will be using the download utility program frequently, create  
a short-cut to it on your desktop.  
To perform a download:  
1. Power the printer Off.  
2. Remove the Coax or Twinax DB9 connector cable, so the printer is not connected to any network.  
3. Connect the PC to the printer via the serial config/upgrade cable included with the A/T FS3.  
4. Turn the rotary switch on the A/T FS3 to position “4” to activate the Serial Administration Mode.

11 Important information about IPDS printing with the A/T FS3  
If you have purchased a key for IPDS printing, please take note of the following:  
IPDS printing is available in selected monochrome printers and digital copiers/MFPs. These are marked with  
IPDS in the above table. IPDS printing may work in other monochrome models, but they have not been  
thoroughly tested.  
For IPDS printing, a printer must have at least 12 MB RAM and in many cases, 16MB is advisable. This  
memory must be installed before you install the Intermate LAN FS3; otherwise the printer will stall.  
IPDS maximum resolution is 300 dpi.
