4.3 EMULATION Menu Options In the following an asterisk “*” indicates the default factory value. 4.3.1 IPDS Emulation This option selects the printer emulation to be used. 4028* 3112/3116 43xx 3812/3816 Note: 30 IBM 4028 emulation IBM 3112/3116 emulation IBM 4312, 4317 or 4324 emulation IBM 3812/3816 emulation The 3812/16 emulation does not support the printer IPDS Resolution setting of 300 dpi.
4.3.2 Default Codepage This option defines the default code page with the appropriate character set to be used. Values are in alphabetical order. The panel will display code page options beginning with the letters A - E, then F – K, and L - Z. Select the appropriate path to reach the desired code page. Codepages A – E Arabic ASCII Aus/Ger Aus/Ger Aus/Ger Alt Baltic Belgium Brazil Can. French Can.
4.3.4 Default FGID Selects the default FGID to be used by the printer IPDS emulation when the host does not send an FGID at the start of a job. This option is only available on IPDS emulation code level 8141 or higher. The option has three submenus containing the FGIDs used in each emulation. In the table below the emulations are cross-referenced to pages in appendix B. Font and Code Page Information. The FGIDs in the referenced tables are available in the operator panel.
4.3.6 Page Counter This option selects the method used for updating IPDS page counters. Normal Update* Jam and stacked page counters are updated when pages are printed. Early Update All page counters are updated when they are processed but not printed. Pages may be lost if power or printer failure occurs. However, selecting this option may increase printing speed. Note: When Early Update is selected, Intervention Required messages are not reported to the IPDS Host.
4.3.7 Printable Area This option defines the printable area on the page and how clipping is treated. Top, bottom, and side margins for your print jobs are set through your print application. 4028 Whole Page* The printable area is 50 pels (4mm) 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. 4028 Print Page The printable area is 50 pels (4mm) inside the physical page.
4.3.8 Resource Memory This option defines the amount of memory to be used as IPDS Resource Memory. Increasing memory can sometimes improve performance because more fonts or other resources are retained in memory reducing transmission and printing times. Increasing memory for resources is recommended, if printing large IPDS jobs with many downloaded fonts, page segments, or overlays. The actual amount of available memory depends on how much memory is being used by PostScript and PCL jobs. Less Up to 1.
4.3.9 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 or position errors (outside VPA) is suppressed.
4.3.10 Font Control This option defines how strict the reporting will be if a selected font does not correspond to a valid combination of code page and character set. Relaxed* The printer makes an intelligent decision concerning whether the selected combination of code page and character set is adequately supported. A Relaxed setting will report very few exceptions. If the selected font is not found, the printer will substitute with the closest matching font.
4.3.12 IPDS Resolution This option defines the resolution used when printing IPDS jobs. This is a separate setting from the printer's Print Resolution under the Quality Menu. This option sets the working print resolution for the IPDS jobs. This alters the quality of text with scalable fonts, barcodes, graphics, and scalable images. Bitmap fonts and non-scalable images are not affected.
4.3.13 Intervention Required This option defines if the emulation should report Intervention Required messages to the host. Types of intervention required messages include a paper jam, paper out, cover open or offline message. These types of messages mean the printer is not ready to print. Report* Report intervention required messages to the host. This is the typical setting. Do Not Report Do not report intervention required messages to the host. Used only in special cases.
4.3.14 IPDS Timeout This option either 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 an IPDS LAN session times out. Note: The IPDS Timeout values are only used by the printer IPDS emulation when the printer is LAN attached using a MarkNet S adapter. Note: This option is only available on IPDS emulation code level 8141 or higher. The printer is capable of receiving jobs on multiple printer ports.
IPDS emulation timeout value. These values are only used by the printer IPDS emulation when the host sends IPDS jobs on port 9600 to a MarkNet S adapter. If the host does not send another IPDS job or send additional IPDS resource data to the printer within the timeout value specified, the printer IPDS emulation will time out, place all IPDS resources in temporary storage (see Storage of IPDS Resources below), and allow the printer to print jobs from other printer ports.
Storage of IPDS Resources Up to four different LAN sessions may be connected to port 9600. IPDS resources from the last active port 9600 session are temporarily stored in the printer memory when IPDS Timeout values (15 seconds to 10 Minutes) are selected and the host timer/timeout values are set to a large value or disabled. Operator actions and processing of other jobs may cause the resources to be deleted. Events such as the following will cause deletion of the downloaded resources.
4.3.15 Trace Functions This option determines if the Trace function is enabled. Trace data is sent to either the serial or parallel port. Unless you have a computer running a capture program attached to the serial or parallel port to receive the trace data, the printer will hang Busy and display IPDS on the first line of the operator panel and TRC on the second line of the operator panel. Note: The Trace function is used by service personnel for troubleshooting and service.
4.4 Overview of the PAPER HANDLING Menu Options The following lists all menu options found under the PAPER HANDLING Menu. Values only display when they are available on your printer.

Prtr (printer) Setting* Use the paper size from the “Manual Pap Size” printer default setting.
4.5.5 IPDS Multipurpose (MP) Paper This option selects the default formatting paper size or envelope default formatting size for the IPDS multipurpose (MP) media source. This option setting applies to the Input Tray Mappings set to "MP Feeder". Note: This option only displays if a Multipurpose Feeder is installed. You can do one of the following: • Use the printer setting “MP Feeder Size”. • Select a different paper size or envelope size for IPDS.
4.6 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 envelope feeder, manual feed paper or manual feed envelopes. The labels Tray Mapping 1 - Tray Mapping 10 refer to the number of the mapping, not the physical tray.
Example 2 If an IPDS 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. Tray Mapping 6 Tray Mapping 7 IPDS 64 Env Feeder IPDS 64 Manual Env In other words, the printer attempts to map to (select media from) the Env Feeder first and if it is not installed, the printer defaults to Manual Env.
Set the PAPER TYPE for the three trays as follows: Tray 1 Type Tray 2 Type Tray 3 Type = = = Colored Paper Plain Paper Plain Paper The printer will feed paper from Tray 3 when Tray 2 is empty. 4.6.1 Tray Mapping In the following an asterisk “*” indicates the default factory value. The default value for each of these options is listed on the IPDS Print Menus page. See section 2.2 Printing the Menu Settings on page 13.

4.8 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 Left Margin and input tray Top Margin option settings should not be confused with the IPDS left and top margin settings sent from the host.
Margins may be adjusted for all input trays and feeders using the All Input Trays menu. Additional adjustments may be made to the All Input Trays margin settings for an individual tray or feeder using the tray or feeder specific margin menu. Most often, the All Input Trays margin settings will remain at the default setting of zero and adjustments will be made using the specific tray or feeder margin menu.
Margin and Tray Linking Interaction When trays are linked, the margins set in the All Input Trays menu and the margins set for the tray specified in the IPDS data stream will be used to adjust the page image on the paper Example 1 – Margin and Tray Linking Tray 1 is requested as the input source from the host. If tray 1 and tray 2 are linked and tray 1 runs out of paper, paper will be pulled from tray 2.
Each margin menu option has four sub-menus. The exception being the envelope menu options, which have only two. The available margin menu options and their sub-menus are shown below.
4.8.2 Tray 1 Adjust Menu This menu option allows additional adjustment to the top and left margins for simplex and duplex pages printed from tray 1.

5 Using the SIMM for IPDS with a MarkNet Adapter or MarkNet Print Server 5.1 IPDS in a LAN Environment When using the SIMM for IPDS in a printer attached to a LAN with the MarkNet S (Token-Ring or Ethernet) internal network adapter, MarkNet Pro print server (TokenRing or Ethernet), or the MarkNet XLe print server (Token-Ring or Ethernet), the printer can receive, process and print AFP/IPDS print jobs over TCP/IP from the following IBM software: • • • • PSF/MVS 2.2 PSF/2 2.0 (or greater) PSF/AIX V2.
Example IPDS resources have been downloaded during a session with a host connected through the SCS card (Coax or Twinax attachment). These resources will be deleted by the IPDS emulation when an IPDS job is received from a LAN attached host. When another IPDS job is received through the SCS card, the printer will return a Printer Reset exception to the host. The host will download the resources again with the next IPDS job.
5.2.1 Selecting the MarkNet S TCP/IP Protocol Settings From the printer operator panel, do the following: 1. Press Menu> until the NETWORK MENU displays. Press Select. 2. Press Menu> until the NETWORK OPTION 1 displays. Press Select. (This example assumes the MarkNet S Adapter is installed in option connector 1.) 3. Press Menu> until you see NETWORK 1 SETUP. Press Select. 4. Press Menu> until you see TCP/IP. Press Select.
5.2.2 Setting the MarkNet S Job Timeout The recommended setting for the MarkNet S Job Timeout is 0 (disabled). This allows the host system "release timer" value and the printer IPDS Timeout value to control when print jobs from another protocol, interface, server, or host can be started. You may set the MarkNet S Job Timeout value to a value greater than the host "release timer" value.
5.3 Configuring a MarkNet Pro To enable IPDS printing with the MarkNet Pro several settings must be changed. Changes to MarkNet Pro settings can be made using the appropriate network printer utilities. For more information on how to change these settings, refer to your Lexmark MarkNet Pro network adapter manual which came with your print server. • • Network Adapter User's Guide or Network Adapter Hardware Setup 5.3.1 Printing a MarkNet Pro Setup Page The MarkNet Pro Microcode Level must be: 2.9.
5.3.3 Setting the MarkNet Pro Job Timeout The recommended setting for the MarkNet Pro Job Timeout is 0 (disabled). This allows the host system "release timer" value to control when print jobs from another protocol, interface, server, or host can be started. You may set the MarkNet Pro Job Timeout value to a value greater than the host "release timer" value. Errors are very likely to occur when the printer requires user intervention and the intervention is not cleared before the timeout occurs.
5.4 Configuring a MarkNet XLe To enable IPDS printing with the MarkNet XLe several settings must be changed. Changes to MarkNet XLe settings can only be made using the appropriate network printer utilities. For more information on how to change these settings, refer to your Lexmark network adapter manual, which came with your print server. • • • Network Adapter User's Guide or Network Adapter Hardware Setup or MarkNet XLe Setup and Service Guide 5.4.
5.4.2 Setting the MarkNet XLe TCP/IP Protocol Settings The following TCP/IP protocol settings must be set in order for the host to send jobs to the printer through the MarkNet XLe. Contact your network administrator if you need help with these settings. Activate Yes Set IP Address 157.184.67.102 (Address available from your network administrator) Set IP Netmask 255.255.255.0 (Appropriate netmask for your network) Set IP Gateway 157.184.67.1 (IP address of the IP gateway) 5.4.
Setting the MarkNet XLe Busy Timeout smaller than the host "release timer" value will result in communication errors after the job has printed. 5.5 Printing IPDS from PSF/400 with OS/400 V3R1 or V3R6 Install the latest cumulative PTF fix pack or tape for the operating system (including the tool, WRKAFP2). 1. • PTF SF29249 PTF SF29249, which is available from IBM, provides the source code for WRKAFP2 and must be installed.

5.8 Printing IPDS from PSF/MVS The SIMM for IPDS enables IPDS printing directly from a MVS mainframe. Software requirements for the MVS are: PSF/MVS Version 2 Release 2.0 with APAR OW15599,OW15018 and OW16442 MVS Scheduler APAR OW12236 to support two new PRINTDEV keywords: IPADDR and PORTNO. TCP/IP Version 3 Release 1, or higher installed and configured on MVS.
2. Define the printer to a JES printer. a. Example for JES2 FSS(FSS1) PROC=PSFPROC,HASPFSSM=HASPFSSM PRT7 FSS=FSS1,MODE=FSS, PRMODE=(LINE,PAGE,SOSI1), CLASS=C,UCS=0,SEP,NOSEPDS,CKPTPAGE=100, DRAIN,MARK,TRKCELL=YES b. Example for JES3 FFSDEF,TYPE=WTR,FSSNAME=FSS3,PNAME=SAMPLE01, SYSTEM=SYS1,TERM=NO, DEVICE,DTYPE=PRTAFP1,NAME=PRT7, JUNIT=(,SYS1,,OFF),FSSNAME=FSS3, MODE=FSS,PM=(LINE,PAGE,SOSI1),CHARS=(YES,GT12), CARRIAGE=(YES,A868),CKPNTGP=100,HEADER=YES, WC=(C) 3.
5.8.2 Printer Sharing Parameters To enable the printer to start other print jobs from another protocol, interface or server the following parameters on the PRINTDEV statement have to be coded in the PSF STARTUP PROC: MGMTMODE=OUTAVAIL DISCINTV=15 TIMEOUT=REDRIVE FAILURE=WCONNECT IPADDR=157.184.67.102 (address available from your network administrator) PORTNO=9100 (9100 or 9600 for MarkNet S) (9100 for Parallel 1 on MarkNet Pro or MarkNet XLe) (9102 for Parallel 2 on MarkNet Pro or MarkNet XLe) Refer to 4.
If the End-of-Job Timeout is greater than the DISCINTV value, errors are very likely to occur if the printer requires user intervention. If, on the other hand, the End-of-Job Timeout is smaller than the DISCINTV value, an error is certain to occur the first time the MarkNet card times out after a completed print job. Therefore, the End-of-Job Timeout should be set to 0 (disabled). The End-of-Job Timeout can be set with the MarkNet configuration procedure.

5.9 Printing IPDS from PSF/2 This section describes how to set up PSF/2 to make it possible to print IPDS data to a LAN attached printer using TCP/IP. This section does not describe how to connect PSF/2 to an IBM host to receive AFP and IPDS data. Please refer to the PSF/2 documentation for a description. System requirements OS/2 version 2.11 or newer DB/2 version 1.0 or newer PSF/2 version 2.0 or newer TCP/IP version 2.0 (CSD UN56401) or newer How to Create a New Printer 1.
2. On the PSF/2 Control Panel select |Profile| and then |New|. The PSF/2 New Device menu appears. Enter the device name and the device description and select a Device Resolution of 300 pel.
3. Select TCP/IP as Attachment Type and select Settings. The TCP/IP Settings menu appears. Enter the IP address of the printer. The IP address should be obtained from your network administrator. The TCP/IP port number entered must be either 9100, 9102, or 9600. 9100 or 9600 for MarkNet S 9100 for Parallel 1 on MarkNet Pro or MarkNet XLe 9102 for Parallel 2 on MarkNet Pro or MarkNet XLe Refer to 4.3.14 IPDS Timeout on page 40 for further information on the selection of ports. Select |OK| and then |Create|.
4. On the PSF/2 Control Panel select Options and Setup queues. The Setup queues menu will appear. It will be blank at first. Enter the Queue name, description and select the Device and then select Setup. An OS/2 printer queue is now created and the printer is ready to print IPDS from OS/2 and a PSF/2 connected host. Note: 98 You can check the connection using the PSF/2 Print Submitter. A number of AFP print files are delivered with the PSF/2 package.
5.10 Printer Sharing in the PSF/2 Environment To enable the printer to start other print jobs from another protocol, interface or server, the PSF/2 tuning option Job Interval Shutdown Timer is used. Important: The End-of-Job Timeout has to be disabled (set to 0) in order to prevent the print server or adapter from releasing the TCP/IP protocol. See Setting the End-of-Job Timeout on page 66. Use the following steps to set the Job Interval Shutdown Timer option: 1.
3. Now select Tuning options. The Job Interval Shutdown Timer indicates the number of seconds PSF/2 waits before shutting down when there are no jobs in the queue. In other words this is the amount of time that PSF/2 remains active after the last job is printed. Valid values: integers 1 to 9999 1-9998 time in seconds to wait between jobs 9999 wait indefinitely for the next job to be received.
5.11 Printing IPDS from PSF/AIX To create a new IPDS printer definition in PSF/AIX perform the following actions: 1. Execute the command smit psf_add_prt_tcpip to get the PSF/AIX SMIT Printer Definition for TCP/IP attached printers. 2. Answer the following: Printer NAME: Enter a name for the IPDS printer. This name will also be used for the print queue associated with the printer. Internet ADDRESS: Enter the host name (preferred) or IP address you have assigned to the MarkNet adapter (e.g. 157.184.67.
Number of QUEUE DEVICES: Leave this at the default value (4 devices) initially. You can tune this option later, according to the throughput of the printer. Connect TIMEOUT: Initially leave this at the default value (30 seconds). Refer to the PSF/AIX on-line help for information about when to increase this value. DESCRIPTION: Enter an optional description for the printer. 3. Press Enter to create the new IPDS printer definition.
6 Using the SIMM for IPDS with the SCS Adapter 6.1 Using the Coax/Twinax Adapter for SCS This section describes how to set up the SCS adapter to make it possible to print IPDS data to either a direct coaxially attached printer or a direct twinaxially attached printer. Please refer to Appendix A for a list of compatible hardware attachments and supported host software.
Important: On IPDS code level 8223 and above, the IPDS emulation may be shared by IPDS hosts connected to the printer using the SCS adapter (Coax or Twinax attachment) and IPDS hosts connected to the printer using a MarkNet S, MarkNet Pro, or MarkNet XLe. When sharing the printer between these types of connections, the IPDS emulation will delete downloaded resources from one host session before beginning another session.
6.2 Using the Coax Interface with IPDS Note: When coax attached, the SCS adapter will, by default, use the IPDS emulation if a SIMM for IPDS is installed. If you install a new SCS adapter in an Optra printer with a SIMM for IPDS (and vice versa), you do not need to configure the SCS adapter to use the IPDS emulation. 6.3 IPDS Enabled Setting This is a setting on the SCS adapter, which only appears when the SIMM for IPDS is detected in the printer. The default is “Yes” (IPDS is enabled).
6.4 Changing the Coax Timeout Value (For Reference Only) If necessary you can change the Coax Timeout value by following these steps: 106 1. Press Menu> until NETWORK MENU displays. Press Select. 2. Press Menu> until NETWORK OPTION 1, NETWORK OPTION 2 or NETWORK OPTION 3 displays. The number corresponds to the number of the option connector the SCS Adapter occupies. Press Select. 3. Press Menu> until you see SCS MENU 1, SCS MENU 2 or SCS MENU 3. Press Select. 4.
6.5 Verifying the Coax Interface with the SIMM for IPDS To verify the SCS adapter configuration, print a SCS IDB dump page. Follow these steps: 1. Press Menu> until NETWORK MENU displays. Press Select. 2. Press Menu> until NETWORK OPTION 1 displays. Press Select. (This example assumes the SCS Adapter is installed in option connector 1.) 3. Press Menu> until SCS MENU 1 displays. Press Select. 4. Press Menu> until you see TEST OPTIONS. Press Select. 5. Press Menu> until you see SCS IDB DUMP.
6.6 Using the Twinax Interface with IPDS When twinax attached, the SCS adapter will, by default, NOT use the IPDS emulation if it is installed in the printer. The SCS adapter must be configured to use the installed SIMM for IPDS before it connects to the host. 6.7 Dual Addresses with the Twinax Interface When installing a SIMM for IPDS and Coax/Twinax adapter into an Optra printer, it is possible to use both the IPDS emulation and the SCS emulation simultaneously.
6.8 Twinax Interface Settings Only three setting options have to be considered to set up the SCS adapter for IPDS operation: SCS Device Address IPDS Device Address IPDS Buffer Sizes Note: Be certain to set the correct twinax address for both the SCS address and the IPDS address before physically connecting your printer to the twinax wiring system. If you were to incorrectly enter the same address used by another device, you would disable that device.
6.10 IPDS Device Address and IPDS Buffer Sizes Settings These settings for the SCS adapter only appear when the SIMM for IPDS is detected in the printer. The IPDS Device Address is used to select the twinax address for the IPDS emulation or to disable the IPDS emulation. IPDS Buffer Sizes is used to select the size of the data/command buffer used by the IPDS emulation when receiving data/commands from the twinax host. From the operator panel, do the following: 1. Press Menu> until NETWORK MENU displays.
6.11 Changing the Twinax Timeout Value (For Reference Only) If necessary you can change the Twinax Timeout value by following these steps: 1. Press Menu> until NETWORK MENU displays. Press Select. 2. Press Menu> until NETWORK OPTION 1, NETWORK OPTION 2 or NETWORK OPTION 3 displays. The number corresponds to the number of the option connector the SCS Adapter occupies. Press Select. 3. Press Menu> until you see SCS MENU 1, SCS MENU 2 or SCS MENU 3. Press Select. 4.

7 Printer Messages and Problems Review these problems and solutions for possible answers to your questions. Use the table below if you are searching for information on a printer message. Message 36 Resolution Reduced 38I Memory Full Bad Memory System Memory Full Menus Disabled Not enough memory for IPDS Recycle PWR to activate value Resources Lost Two IPDS Sources Recycle Power 1.
MarkNet S, MarkNet Pro, or MarkNet XLe “end-of-job-timeout” The recommended setting for the MarkNet S, MarkNet Pro, or MarkNet XLe endof-job-timeout is 0 (disabled). This allows the host timer/timeout value or printer IPDS Timeout value (when using a MarkNet S only) to control when print jobs from another protocol, interface, server, or host can be started.
IPDS Timeout = Host Controlled (when using MarkNet S, MarkNet Pro, or MarkNet XLe) Note: The printer defaults to Host Controlled when receiving IPDS jobs on port 9100 or 9102. If you selected any other IPDS Timeout value, go to IPDS Timeout = 15 seconds to 10 minutes on page 118. If you selected the IPDS Timeout value of Host Controlled to allow the host to directly control ending (disconnecting) a LAN session, follow the steps below to correct the problem. 1.
IPDS Timeout = 15 seconds to 10 minutes (when using a MarkNet S only) If you selected the IPDS Timeout value of Host Controlled to allow the host to directly control ending (disconnecting) a LAN session, go to IPDS Timeout = Host Controlled on page 117. If you selected an IPDS Timeout value of 15 seconds to 10 minutes to allow the printer IPDS emulation to determine when an IPDS LAN session times out, follow the steps below to correct the problem. 1.
2. Problem: The message 36 Resolution Reduced displays and the printer stops. Solution: The printer memory is full and the page cannot be printed at the selected IPDS Resolution. Press Go and the page is printed at a lower resolution. If this is a constant problem and you want to print at the higher resolution, you need to add more memory to the printer. This message is an informational message on some Optra models.
4. C. There may be insufficient printer memory to temporarily store IPDS resources and print non-IPDS jobs. Add more memory to the printer. For information on recommended memory settings refer to appendix C. Recommended memory on page 151 D. The host may be downloading more IPDS resources than can be held in the printer’s memory. Add more memory to the printer. For information on the minimum recommended installed memory, see appendix C. Recommended memory on page 151.
5. Problem: Sometimes the messages (38I Memory Full or Memory Full) display on the printer operator panel and the connection with the printer is lost. What do these messages mean? What should I try? Solution: 38I Memory Full - this message is generated when there is insufficient memory to print the page. Memory Full - this message means the printer could not reestablish connection to PSF, the resources have been lost. The printer is disconnected from the host.
6. Problem: If I want to work with the menus for the SCS adapter, how do I know whether to choose NETWORK OPTION 1, NETWORK OPTION 2 or NETWORK OPTION 3? Solution: 7. A. Press Menu> until you see TESTS MENU. Press Select. B. Press Menu> until you see Print Menus. Press Select. The operator panel displays the message Printing Menu Settings. A listing of the menu settings indicating what options are installed in the different connectors prints.
8. Problem: The message Two IPDS Sources Recycle Power displays and the printer stops. Solution: The SIMM for IPDS supports only LAN attached hosts or a coaxial/twinaxial attached host. You must be trying to print from both: 9. • a coaxial/twinaxial attachment using a SCS adapter and either • a LAN attachment using a MarkNet S Token-Ring or Ethernet adapter or • a parallel attachment using a MarkNet Pro or MarkNet XLe.
10. Problem: Intervention Required messages (printer offline, paper jam, out of paper, cover open, etc.) from the printer are causing problems on the IPDS host. Solution: You can suppress this message reporting by selecting "Do Not Report" for Intervention Required. You would then rely on users noticing the status of the printer. 11. Problem: The message Bad Memory System displays and the printer stops. Solution: The IPDS memory has been corrupted. Power the printer Off and then On. 12.
13. Problem: IPDS jobs will not work with Job Buffering set to On. Solution: The host expects immediate responses from the printer during job processing. Buffering a job to the disk delays the return of these responses. Set Job Buffering = Off under the NETWORK OPTION X menu. 14. Problem: I get the message Not enough memory for IPDS. Solution: The SIMM for IPDS requires a minimum of 4 MB of installed memory. Add additional memory to activate IPDS printing.
16. Problem: The message Resources Lost appears on the display before an IPDS job prints. Solution: IPDS resources were deleted by the printer. 126 A. Try to determine what is causing the resources to be deleted. See the section 4.3.14 IPDS Timeout on page 40 for additional information. B. Non-IPDS jobs may cause IPDS resources to be deleted. Add additional memory. Refer to appendix C. Recommended memory on page 151.
