Re: Getting a Decision Data 6704 to Print through Parallel

[Paul Tykodi <ptykodi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Brian,

I found some specifications on the web for the 6704,
which claimed the following "A parallel interface is
provided for PC/LAN connection, along with IBM 5152
Personal Graphics Printer emulation."

My suggestion would therefore be to configure your
Thin Client terminal to use Host Print Transform and
then select *IBM5152 for the manufacturer type and
model and see whether that resolves your difficulty.

HTH

Best Regards,

/Paul
