3.2 Overview of EMULATION Menu Options and Values The following lists all menu options found under the EMULATION menu. Values only display when they are available on your printer. An asterisk “*” indicates the default factory value. The selected value for each of these options can be printed; see Printing the Menu Settings Page (printers) on page 15 or Printing the Menu Settings Page (MFPs) on page 18.
Font Ctrl Relaxed*, Strict Font Type Use Scalable*, Use Bitmap IPDS Print Res 600 dpi, 1200 dpi, 1200 Image Q, 2400 Image Q, 4800 CQ Default values are dependent on printer or MFP model.
3.3 EMULATION – Options Descriptions In the following an asterisk “*” indicates the default factory value. The selected value for each of these options can be printed; see Printing the Menu Settings Page (printers) on page 15 or Printing the Menu Settings Page (MFPs) on page 18. 3.3.1 IPDS Emulation This option selects the printer emulation to be used when processing IPDS data. It is important to select the correct emulation before receiving IPDS data.
3.3.3 Color Processing Specifies how graphics, image, and bar code color commands are processed. See section 10.5, on page 82, for more information on color printing. Color Print in full color. (Default for color printers.) Shades of Grey Process color commands and print all colors as shades of grey. Black Process color commands and print all colors as black. (Default on mono printers.) 3.3.4 Text Processing Specifies how text color commands are processed. Color Print in full color.
3.3.6.2 Bar Code Size This option controls the size of the bar code when using the Resident IPDS emulation. When the 3812/3816 emulation is selected, this setting is ignored. Bar codes will be printed in a size that closely matches the IBM 3812/3816 family of printers. Resident* Prints the bar code in a size that gives best quality on this printer. 4028 Bar codes are printed in a size that closely matches the IBM 4028 printer.
Note 2: The Euro symbol is supported in code pages 1140-1159, 1153-1158 and in code pages whose text description includes the designation Eur, such as Arabic Eur 420. 3.3.8 Codepage Version This option determines which version of a code page is used. Some of the code pages are available in two versions. Some characters differ between the two versions of the same code page. If characters print differently than those entered on the keyboard, check the code page version.
3.3.12 Printable Area This option defines the printable area on the page and how clipping is performed. Top, bottom, and side margins for your print jobs are set through your print application. Whole Page* The printable area is 50 pels (4 mm) inside the physical page. The printable area is reported to the host. Clipping occurs if data is printed outside the printable area. All four edges will clip. Print Page The printable area is 50 pels (4 mm) inside the physical page.
3.3.13 Exception Control It is often practical to suppress exception reporting on undefined characters and on position errors (printing outside the valid printable area, VPA). This option overrides the Exception Handling Control in the IPDS data stream. Report All* No suppression of exceptions. Exception reporting is controlled by the IPDS data stream. Sup Beyond VPA Exception reporting on position errors (outside VPA) is suppressed.
3.3.16 IPDS Print Res This option defines the internal print resolution used to print IPDS jobs. Host resources received in the job are converted to the IPDS Print Res setting before printing. This is a separate setting from Print Resolution menu option in the printer’s Settings > Quality Menu. This setting alters the quality of text with scalable fonts, bar codes, graphics, and scalable images. Bitmap fonts and non-scalable images are not affected.
3.3.18 IPDS Timeout This option is also called the printer IPDS Timeout. It allows the host to directly control when an IPDS LAN session with a printer ends (disconnects), or allows the printer IPDS emulation to determine when to timeout and print jobs waiting on other ports. Notes: The Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU > EMULATION >IPDS Timeout value is only used by the printer IPDS emulation when the printer is LAN attached using the Standard Network port or the MarkNet internal print server.
Important: The host timer/timeout value and the printer IPDS Timeout value must not be set to the same number of seconds. The difference in these values should always be 30 or more seconds. Notes: Up to two sessions are available on port 9600. When all 9600 sessions are active, the printer will open a new TCP/IP session and immediately close the session. On port 5001, up to 5 sessions are available when the printer IPDS Timeout is set to “Host Controlled”.
3.3.20 Trace Functions This option determines if the Trace function is enabled. Trace data is sent to the selected port. Unless you have a computer running a capture program attached to the port selected to receive the trace data, the printer may hang BUSY. Print performance is degraded when the trace function is active. Note: Port selections will only appear when the port is available on the printer. The Trace function is used by service personnel for trouble shooting and service. Disable* PAR Std.

3.6 MAP INPUT TRAYS Menu Options This option defines the mapping of the host's request for a physical feeder or input tray in the printer. Any host input source can be mapped to any printer input source. The printer input source is mapped to an IPDS host number. Input sources include the multi-purpose feeder, envelope feeder, manual paper feed, and manual envelope feed. Some models may not support all printer input sources listed below.
Important! For MAP INPUT TRAYS to work correctly, the Paper Size/Type for each printer input tray must be set differently in the printer’s Paper Menu. See example 1 below. The only time you set the PAPER TYPE the same for more than one input tray is when you want to link the input trays involved. See example 2. Examples of tray mapping Example 1 - Making a higher capacity input tray the default tray You may want to use one of the higher capacity input trays for IPDS 0.
The printer will feed paper from Tray 3 when Tray 2 is empty. Example 3 - Understanding what happens when an IPDS tray selection number is mapped twice If an IPDS tray selection number is mapped (used) twice, the lowest tray mapping number is activated (if available). For example if Tray Mapping 6 and 7 both map to IPDS 64 as shown below, the printer will select media from the Env Feeder.
3.7 MAP OUTPUT BINS Menu Options This option defines the mapping of the host's request for a physical output bin in the printer. The printer physical bin is mapped to an IPDS output bin selection number that is specified in the IPDS data stream. Printer output bins include the top of the printer (standard bin) and optional output bins that attach to the printer. Some printer models may not support all bins listed.
Output Bin 1 – Output Bin 10 – Selects additional standard output bins available on the printer or optional physical output bins when installed. Fin High Cap – Selects the optional finisher output bin with the highest capacity. The order of option installation does not affect the physical bin associated with the Fin High Cap bin value. This value is always associated with the highest capacity physical bin of the optional finisher.
3.8 MARGINS Menu Options Use margin settings to adjust the position of the page image. Margin settings, which could be compared to movements of the tractor feeder and paper knob of a matrix printer, affect all IPDS jobs and are not affected by IPDS commands in the job. The input tray and input feeder Left Margin and Top Margin option settings should not be confused with the IPDS left and top margin settings sent from the host.
Example 1 – Margins The ALL INPUT TRAYS Left Margin is set to the default of 0. The TRAY 1 ADJUST Left Margin is set to +25. This adjusts the page image left margin for all pages printed from tray 1 by 25/300ths of an inch to the right of the margin specified in the IPDS job. Example 2 – Margins The ALL INPUT TRAYS Left Margin has been adjusted to –25. This moves the left margin for pages printed for all IPDS jobs 25/300ths of an inch to the left. The TRAY 1 ADJUST Left Margin has been adjusted to +25.

The following sections describe each of the margin menu options. 3.8.
3.8.3 TRAY 2 ADJUST Menu This menu option allows additional adjustment to the top and left margins for simplex and duplex pages printed from tray 2. TRAY 2 ADJUST margin settings adjust the value of the ALL INPUT TRAYS corresponding margin setting for all pages printed from tray 2. See margin settings examples under MARGINS Menu Options on page 42 for additional information.
3.8.6 TRAY 5 ADJUST Menu This menu option allows additional adjustment to the top and left margins for simplex and duplex pages printed from tray 5. TRAY 5 ADJUST margin settings adjust the value of the ALL INPUT TRAYS corresponding margin setting for all pages printed from tray 5. See margin settings examples under MARGINS Menu Options on page 42 for additional information.
3.8.9 MANUAL PAPER ADJ Menu This menu option allows additional adjustment to the top and left margins for simplex and duplex pages printed from the manual tray. MANUAL PAPER ADJ margin settings adjust the value of the ALL INPUT TRAYS corresponding margin setting for all pages printed from the manual tray.
3.9 Overview of the FONT CAPTURE Menu Options The following lists all menu options found under the FONT CAPTURE menu, which only displays if a user flash memory or a disk is installed in the printer. An asterisk “*”indicates the default factory value. The selected value for each of these options can be printed; see Printing the Menu Settings Page (printers) on page 15 or Printing the Menu Settings Page (MFPs) on page 18. In addition, if you “Print IPDS fonts” (see section 3.3.
3.10 FONT CAPTURE Menu Options The FONT CAPTURE menu only displays if a user flash memory or a disk is installed in the printer. In the following an asterisk “*” indicates the default factory value. The selected value for each of these options can be printed; see Printing the Menu Settings Page (printers) on page 15 or Printing the Menu Settings Page (MFPs) on page 18. 3.10.
4 Duplex Printing Using Preprinted Media The IPDS emulation uses the value selected in the printer’s Paper Menu under Paper Loading to determine how paper is loaded. For each media type, you can select Duplex or Off. If you have set the value in the printer menu to Duplex and have loaded preprinted media (such as letterhead) correctly for duplex printing, any IPDS job received from the host, whether duplex or simplex, will print correctly on the paper.
5 Finishing Support Finishing support includes offset stacking, stapling, hole punch, center fold-in and saddle staple. The tables below show the finishing support provided with your printer and finishing support when an optional finisher is installed. The Lexmark C770, C780, X644e MFP and X646e MFP do not support optional finishers.
Finishing functions for Lexmark C935, X940e MFP, X945e MFP, Lexmark X850e MFP, X852e MFP, and X854e MFP (Note 3). The finishing functions do not apply to all paper sizes. When a function can not be applied to a specific paper, the job will print but finishing functions will not be performed.
5.1 Offset Stacking Offset stacking of IPDS jobs is available when offset stacking is supported in the printer standard bin or when an optional finisher with offset stacking capability is installed. For offset stacking to occur, the following must happen: • Host Controlled must be selected in Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU > EMULATION > PAPER HANDLING > Offset Stacking. Host Controlled is the default value. See section 3.5.2 on page 33 for additional information.
finisher bin 2, which supports offset stacking. See MAP OUTPUT BINS Menu Options on page 40 for details on bin mapping. 5.1.2 Mainframe Offset Stacking For MVS JES2/JES3 offset stacking is controlled by the COPYMARK parameter contained in the printer device definition statement in the JES2/JES3 initialization member. The following examples illustrate the options and syntax for both JES2/JES3. Example 1- JES2 JES2 Specifications using the COPYMARK parameter.
number is 1.) This routes all jobs that would normally have gone to the printer standard bin to finisher bin 2, which supports offset stacking. See MAP OUTPUT BINS Menu Options on page 40 for details on bin mapping.
5.2 Stapling Stapling is available when an optional finisher is installed. When stapling is specified in the IPDS job, the job bin selection will be ignored and the job will be routed to a bin that supports stapling. Jobs are stapled according to the following printer and finisher restrictions. It is the user's responsibility to load a media type and size that can be stapled by the optional finisher.

See the table on page 51 to determine if your finisher supports hole punching. A job may select hole punch by specifying it in an IPDS command. When hole punch is selected through an IPDS data stream command, hole punch will override output bin selection and the job will be routed to a bin that supports hole punch.
Tray Mapping 8 to Tray 1 Hp to IPDS Number 4. (When IPDS Number 4 is the requested source in the IPDS data stream, pages are pulled from the printer physical Tray 1 and all pages are hole punched.) 5.3.2 Hole Punching to an Output Bin Hole punching may be performed on paper routed to any optional finisher output bin. Hole punching to an output bin is specified using the printer’s Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU > MAP OUTPUT BINS menu. See MAP OUTPUT BINS Menu Options on page 40 for additional information.
6 IPDS Job Cancel 6.1 Canceling IPDS Jobs IPDS jobs may be cancelled using the normal cancel sequence for the printer. Cancel Job while an IPDS job is being processed causes an “IPDS cancel exception” to be sent to the host. The host responds by placing the first non-completed IPDS job in a held status and sending the remaining jobs on the queue. IPDS resources are saved by the printer unless the host requests deletion of these resources.
6.3 How to Cancel a Job Using the MFP Touch Screen 1. While any job is printing, the Cancel Job icon will be displayed on the control panel. Touch the icon. 2. In the “Print” column, select the job you want to cancel by touching the print job icon. 3. Touch the Delete Selected Job icon. 4. The screen will display a message to indicate that the job is being deleted. 5. The screen will return to the Home display.

The following are the software release requirements for font capture feature within this platform.
STEP 1. DISPLAY CURRENT FONT MARKING STATUS To determine the marking status of your host fonts you can run the APSRMARK report utility. The following is a sample of the JCL to run the font report listing.
//********************************************************************* //STEP1 EXEC PGM=APSRMARK //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=J //* //IN1 DD UNIT=3390,DSN=SYS1.FONT300,DISP=SHR,VOL=SER=OS3R7A //OUT1 DD UNIT=3390,DSN=SYS1.FONTNEW,DISP=SHR,VOL=SER=OS3R7A //SYSIN DD * INDD=IN1,OUTDD=OUT1,MEMBER=T1V10037,PUBLIC INDD=IN1,OUTDD=OUT1,MEMBER=C08400B0,PUBLIC /* Note: If you want to mark all fonts in a particular font library "PUBLIC" you can create a new font library, copy, and mark all fonts as "PUBLIC" at the same time.
To select font capture from in-stream JCL add the "CHARS" option to sysout/output statement as follows. //OUT1 OUTPUT CLASS=A, DEST=LOCAL,FORMDEF=A10110,PAGEDEF=A06462,CHARS=88FB To print a list of captured fonts, select Print IPDS Fonts from Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU > EMULATION (see page 30).
8 Remote Configuration of Printer IPDS Settings 8.1 Why Use a Browser Most IPDS emulation settings stored in the printer (the default IPDS settings) can be changed remotely using a browser. This method of changing settings is especially useful during printer installation to set all of the IPDS options to the values recommended by your system administrator. At a later time, any necessary changes can be made on each printer, either from a browser or via the operator panel.
Beside the Submit button you will see a Reset Form button. If you have entered values in the page without submitting, and decide to start all over again, click Reset Form. The page will then display the values that were current when you opened the IPDS Configuration page. 8.3 Functions that Can Not be Operated Remotely The following IPDS functions can not be operated remotely: • Trace Functions – The current setting is shown but can not be changed. • Print IPDS Fonts – This operation is not shown.
9 Printer Messages and Problems Please refer to the IPDS Printer and Host Setup Guide for information on various problems and solutions.
10 Command Reference 10.1 XOA Print Quality Control Monochrome printers support the Execute Order Any State (XOA) Print Quality Control command. This command specifies the print quality at which jobs will be printed on monochrome printers. Specifying lower print quality levels can save toner. Color printers ignore the Print Quality Control command when it is received. The following table gives the Quality Level value range. The Toner Saver option in the IPDS MENU affects the processing of this command.
10.2 XOH OPC Product Identifier Self Defining Field The XOH OPC Product Identifier Self Defining field is returned to the host. This information may be useful in locating the printer for maintenance or inventory purposes. The following table specifies the values returned.

B.3 Compatibility Font Sets B.3.1 4028 Compatibility Font Set - 300 dpi bitmap fonts (Resident Emulation) The bitmap fonts included below are 300 dpi bitmap fonts used by the Resident emulation. For some of these fonts the IPDS emulation can use an equivalent scalable font. This is controlled by the Font Type option under Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU > EMULATION. When this option is set to Use Scalable, improved font quality will result, since the scalable fonts use the higher resolution of the printer.
G3 = All code pages in group G2 plus code pages (CPGIDs) 437 and 850. * = These fonts exist in both bitmapped and scalable (outline) versions dependent on the Font Type setting. # = For these fonts the scalable Times New Roman™ Typefaces in the appropriate sizes from the Core Interchange Font Set are always used. % = These fonts only exist in scalable versions. S = See descriptions under Special Code Pages below.
B.3.2 3812/3816 Compatibility Font Set - 240 dpi bitmap fonts When the 3812/3816 emulation is selected, these 240 dpi bitmap fonts replace the 300 dpi bitmap font set. For some of these fonts the IPDS emulation can use an equivalent scalable font. This is controlled by the Font Type option under Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU > EMULATION. When this option is set to Use Scalable, improved font quality will result, since the scalable fonts use the higher resolution of the printer.
In addition to the above set of fonts a number of other FGIDs are also recognized by the IPDS. These are simulated by substitution with one of the above fonts or by bolding one of the above fonts. Special Code Pages The following special code pages are supported when the 3812/3816 emulation is selected.
B.4 IBM Core Interchange Scalable Font Set The typefaces defined for the IBM Core Interchange Set font provide support for the following groups of languages and are supported in the printer: Latin 1 including DCF, Latin 2, Latin 3, Latin 4 (including Baltic), Latin 5, Cyrillic, Greek, and Symbols. Symbols are provided in medium and bold typefaces only.

E. Printing DBCS Characters Several languages, such as Chinese, Korean, and Japanese, have fonts so large that it takes two bytes of information to represent each character. These fonts are referred to as Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) fonts. Depending on the language, the number of characters in the font can range from around 6,000 up to approximately 22,000 characters. Information on DBCS fonts can be found in the following technical references.
F. Memory Requirements and Recommendations Additional memory above the minimum recommended may be required for printing DBCS characters, TrueType fonts, complex mono or color IPDS jobs or if printer memory is used to save other emulation resources or hold other emulation jobs for later printing. A minimum of 128 MB of memory is required to activate DBCS printing. TrueType fonts are downloaded to a different part of printer memory than other resources.
