This document might not list all available printer models. Note: Therefore, there are no guarantees that the information on any particular printer model is correct. In some cases, information on a particular printer model is based solely on what has been shown to work with other similar printer models. Information in this document has been gathered from many different sources, including printer manuals, manufacturer and third-party Web sites, and experience gathered from working with customers. Printers are listed in this document because they are known to exist therefore, being listed is not a statement that the printer model is supported. It also indicates whether each printer model is likely to work when printing from a System i using LPR, PJL, SNMP, IPP, or a PC5250 printer session. This document contains information on the capabilities that are supported on the printer hardware. If the writer fails, the error messages in the writer joblog will help to determine the cause.

Refer to the printer hardware documentation or visit the printer manufacturer's website to locate the printer's specifications to make the determination if it will work with the IBM i.Įmulation or Printer Languages, or search on PCL.
