5486OpS.fm Draft Document for Review October 18, 2004516 IBM Eserver i5 and iSeries System Handbook Using iSeries Navigator and APIs, a new session identifier allows bettermanagement and tracking of iSeries NetServer sessions. This is extremelyimportant in a Windows Terminal Serving environment where many usershave sessions through a single Windows system. You can end sessions orobserve properties on single sessions rather than all the sessions comingfrom a single system. Windows NT Background services can access the iSeries NetServer withoutuser intervention. Printer Shares can be published in Directory Services (Lightweight DirectoryAccess Protocol (LDAP)) for use by Windows 2000 systems using ActiveDirectory to find printers. iSeries support for the Windows Network Neighborhood program complieswith the Common Internet File System (CIFS) standard currently proposed byMicrosoft.For additional information, refer to:http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/netserverNetwork printing supportDistributed print support provides a connection to local area network(LAN)-attached ASCII printers and support for Advanced Function printers. TheiSeries server provides a seamless path for customers to direct printed outputthrough an iSeries network and to other print servers. You can use SystemsNetwork Architecture (SNA) or TCP/IP protocols (line printer requester/lineprinter daemon (LPR/LPD)) to transport the spooled file and its attributes to theremote system.This integrated i5/OS and OS/400 function supports the printing of text, images,graphics, barcodes, electronic forms, multiple fonts, logos, signatures, and more.These formats provide the basis for business solutions such as business reports,preprinted forms, customer statements and invoices, and letters. Double bytecharacter set (DBCS) documents that enable printing of Chinese, Korean,Japanese, or Thai characters are also supported.i5/OS and OS/400 supports IBM and non-IBM printers, which vary in price,function, speed, and use.Host print transformMost printers are designed to work with a specific data stream. i5/OS andOS/400 includes a function to automatically transform the program-generateddata stream to that required by the printer to which it is sent. It is not necessary
