PAGE 18
EuroForm IPDS 100 User Guide Intervention Required Reporting This option defines if the emulation should report Intervention Required events to the IBM host. Types of Intervention Required events include paper jam, paper out, cover open or offline situations. These types of events mean that the printer is not ready to print. Yes* Report Intervention Required events to the IBM host. No Do not report Intervention Required messages to the IBM host.
PAGE 19
Configuration Parameters If an IPDS Number is mapped (used) twice, then the last mapping in the list will be the active one. Note: For the Source Mapping to work correctly, the MEDIA TYPE for each input tray must be set differently. The only time you would set the MEDIA TYPE the same value is when you want to link the input trays.. For setting up the MEDIA TYPE please refer to the specific hp LaserJet printer documentation.
PAGE 20
EuroForm IPDS 100 User Guide Margins may be adjusted for all input trays and feeders using the four Default Margins values: Margin Front Top, Margin Front Left, Margin Back Top and Margin Back Left. Front and Back refer to the front page and the back page of a sheet of paper printed in duplex. Additional adjustments may be made to an individual tray or feeder using the Margins Option for the specific tray or feeder.
PAGE 21
Font Capturing Font Capturing The Font Capture option allows capture of eligible bitmap fonts (LF1 format) and eligible outline fonts (LF3 format) received from the host. These fonts will be stored (captured) on the printer’s hard disk. Fonts intended for capturing must be marked eligible for capture on the host before they will be downloaded to the printer for capture. Fonts, which are resident on the printer, will not be downloaded for capture by the host.
PAGE 22
EuroForm IPDS 100 User Guide Capturing Fonts From an AS/400 AS/400 Program Requirements PSF/400 V4R2 or later is required for making fonts eligible for capture. Making Fonts Eligible for Capture on the AS/400 Two steps are required on the AS/400 to capture fonts. These are: 1. Make the font resource eligible for capture. To mark a font resource eligible for capture, set FNTCAPTURE to *YES.
PAGE 23
Font Capturing Capturing Fonts From a Mainframe Host Mainframe Program Requirements Font capture is supported by PSF/MVS 2.2.0 with APAR OW08340 and PSF/VSE 2.2.1 with APAR DY43969. Making Fonts Eligible for Capture on a Mainframe Note: The procedures/documentation below are for OS390/MVS/PSF platform. The following are the software release requirements for font capture feature within this platform.

Configuration Options Configuration Options Overview The configuration for the IPDS solution is stored in a XML file located on the EuroForm IPDS 100 DIMM. Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a universal format for data and has become an industrial standard today. The reason for storing the IPDS configuration in a XML document is therefore obviously. The EuroForm IPDS 100 is provided with three options for altering the configuration of the IPDS solution on your HP LaserJet printer.
PAGE 28
EuroForm IPDS 100 User Guide The Web Interface is implemented as a ChaiService running on the printer’s web server and can be accessed by typing the printers IP address in a standard web browser. Please see System Requirements in the “EuroForm IPDS 100 Getting Started Guide” for more information on compatible web browsers. If the printers IP Address e.g. is 192.168.0.97 simply type http://192.168.0.97/ in your browsers address bar.
PAGE 29
Configuration Options The parameters are grouped into the four sub web pages: • IPDS Settings • Source Mapping • Target Mapping • Margins IPDS Settings is the IPDS emulation dependent parameters whereas Source Mapping, Target Mapping and Margins are printer specific settings for the IPDS solution. The Web Interface Environment provides an Online Help system. All parameters marked with a question mark have Online Help available. This will give you additional information about the actual parameter.
PAGE 30
EuroForm IPDS 100 User Guide Please refer to the Online Help or the previous chapter about Configuration Parameters for help. Target Mapping This web page gives the possibility to add, edit or delete Target Mapping to the IPDS configuration. Please refer to the Online Help or the previous chapter about Configuration Parameters for help. Margins This web page gives the possibility to add, edit or delete Tray Margins to the IPDS configuration.
PAGE 31
Configuration Options Furthermore, here you can reset the actual IPDS configuration to the factory default settings as well as remove all captured fonts stored on the printer hard disk. The factory default settings should be able to run in any IPDS environment with minimum features and is thereby a good starting point if nothing is working and you have to start all over. Documentation This web page contains access to documentation such as the EuroForm IPDS 100 User Guide.
PAGE 32
EuroForm IPDS 100 User Guide Download of the IPDS configuration file The XML document containing the IPDS configuration can be retrieved from the EuroForm IPDS 100 DIMM either by using the HP Printer Disk Manager (HPPDM) or by browsing the following URL: http:///hp/device/euroform/ipds100/xml/ipds100.xml When browsing, the XML document will be parsed and displayed. To obtain it as file format choose File menu and save it as XML document to your local file system.
PAGE 33
Configuration Options When you send the e-mail to one or more recipients (printers) the Remote Environment will receive the e-mail and write the XML document to the EuroForm IPDS 100 DIMM and the IPDS configuration will be updated. PJL-job The PJL-job configuration update option only requires you to have some way to copy the PJL job to the printer. We recommend that you use EuroForm IPCopy (available from http://www.euroform.com/ipds100). This update option only allows you to update one printer at a time.

How To Trace The following will explain how to trace IPDS data from the IPDS 100 solution. You should only trace on a printer that has just been rebooted. If you are trying to trace on a printer that has been printing, the trace tool might not be able to trace. This can be caused by an AS/400 that has not closed the connection to the printer. 1.
PAGE 39
Diagnostic Tool 9. Wait until the print job has completed before stopping the tracer. During the tracing process you will see the amount of received data increase. (Up to about 200KB of data has to be sent before this counter is updated though). 10. After you have stopped the trace, please forward the zip file to us at support@euroform.

Appendix B. Font and Code Page Information Notes: 1. Prestige fonts used with code pages with a CPGID of 259 are mapped to the Courier Roman Medium Symbols font (FGID 416 GCSGID 1275) as shown in Table 1 on page 75. When the printer is in Box-Draw mode, any font, which does not indicate CPGID 259 support, will print with the Roman Medium Symbols font in a point size of 10 (12 pitch) when used with Code Page 259. This emulates 4028 behaviour. 2.
