1 Introduction
1.1 About This Guide
Thank you for purchasing the Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe which provides emulation support for
Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) and SNA Character String (SCS). This provides high quality IBM
host connectivity print output. With the appropriate adapter and host software, your printer becomes an
IBM host workstation printer capable of printing AFP, IPDS, or SCS documents from an AS/400, iSeries,
System/370, System/390, or zSeries. Unless otherwise stated, the term “printer” covers both printers
and Multifunction Products (MFPs).
This guide contains information to assist you in using the front panel to change IPDS MENU settings,
understand the IPDS MENU settings, and IPDS function support.
If you need information on configuring the printer and host settings to receive IPDS jobs, refer to the
IPDS Printer and Host Setup Guide.
If you need information on the SCS/TNe emulation provided with the Card, please refer to the SCS/TNe
Emulation User’s Guide.
Information on how to install the Card is on separate documentation shipped with your printer. Refer to
the documentation that was shipped with your printer for information on how to install the Card.
If you need basic information about your printer setup and printer operation, please refer to the printer’s
specific documentation.

1.4 Conventions Used in the Manual
• Printer menu keys and operator panel texts are written in bold.
Option names usually correspond to menu texts and are bold when used in sentences or shown as
••
the first column on a table listing options and general descriptions of the listed options.
• ”Option values” described within sentences are written in “quotation marks”. They are bolded
when shown as the first column on a table describing values for an option.
• Some book titles are written in italic.
On screen text is written in Courier typeface.
•
• Keyboard keys are written in angle brackets, e.g. <Enter> or <F1>.
• Bold is sometimes used for emphasis or as subheaders for blocks of text within a section.
• Italics are used to label Examples, Notes and blocks of text with very Important information.
• Unless otherwise stated, the term “printer” covers both printers and MFPs.

2 Using the Operator Panel or Touch Screen for IPDS
MENU Setup
The IPDS emulation option settings may be changed from the control panel (either the printer operator
panel or MFP touch screen), from a browser, or from MarkVision Professional. This section of the guide
shows how to change and save option settings using the operator panel. If you are familiar with changing
IPDS options, skip this chapter. See

Note: Please refer to your printer's documentation for more detailed instructions on how to use the
operator panel. The layout of the operator panel may vary on the different models.
Note: Printer IPDS settings are for the most part used as default. They are only used in the absence of
specific instructions from the host. Thus, the settings you choose from your IPDS print job may
override default settings, including those you set yourself.

2.1 IPDS MENU Setup Options vs. Printer Setup Options
Changes to the option settings under the IPDS MENU will only affect the way IPDS jobs print. These
changes will not affect PostScript™, PCL™, or SCS jobs.
Changes to printer settings under the various printer menus will affect the way PostScript and PCL jobs
are printed. Many of these printer settings will also affect IPDS jobs.
This guide discusses changing the IPDS MENU settings. Please refer to your printer's documentation for
information on changing other printer settings.
Refer to the SCS/TNe Emulation User's Guide for information on setting up and using the SCS/TNe
emulation.

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*
Print Page
Physical 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.
The printable area is 50 pels (4 mm) inside the physical page. The printable area is
reported to the host. If the logical page is outside the printable area it is moved down
and to the right. The right and bottom edges will be clipped.
The printable area is the physical page (edge to edge). The physical page printable
area is reported to the host.
Important: Printing within 50 pels of the paper edge may result in poor print
quality. Continual printing within 50 pels (4 mm) of the paper edge is not
recommended. It can result in paper jams due to toner contamination of the paper
path and toner appearing on the back side of duplex jobs. Toner contamination of the
paper path can make more frequent maintenance necessary.
Note 1: The Lexmark T640, T642, T644, and W840 printers, and the Lexmark

approximately 40 pels (3.4 mm) from all four edges of the paper.
Note 3: The Lexmark C920, can print to within approximately 20 pels (1.7 mm) of
the feed direction top and bottom edge and to within approximately 3 pels
(.25 mm) of the non-feed direction edges.
Note 4: The Lexmark C935 and the Lexmark X940e MFP and X945e MFP can print
to within approximately 4 mm of the leading paper edge and to within
approximately 2 mm of all other edges.
The job is formatted for a page using a printable area of edge to edge. When the
page is printed, the page image is compressed approximately 2% in both the
horizontal and vertical directions.
Note: Full Page is not available on all products. Full page will only appear in
the menu when supported by the printer.
The printable area is 50 pels (4 mm) inside the physical page. A printable area that
more closely matches the values reported by the IBM 4028 printer is reported to the
host. Clipping occurs if data is printed outside the printable area. All four edges will
be clipped.
The printable area is 50 pels (4 mm) inside the physical page. A printable area that

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*
Sup Beyond VPA
Sup Undef Char
Suppress Both
No suppression of exceptions. Exception reporting is controlled by the IPDS data
stream.
Exception reporting on position errors (outside VPA) is suppressed. The printer
IPDS emulation will print the IPDS job but not report "08C1" printable area
exceptions or "0411" bar code exceptions to the host.
If an undefined character is found, exception reporting is suppressed. The printer
IPDS emulation will print the IPDS job but not report "0821" undefined character
exceptions to the host.
Both position errors and undefined character exceptions are suppressed.
3.3.14 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*
Strict
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. If a font/code page combination is selected, which is not fully
supported, characters may be missing.
A “Strict” setting reports exceptions when a requested font/code page or substituted
font/code page combination is not valid. The “Strict” setting prints all characters.
3.3.15 Font Type
This option selects the type of fonts used by the printer when a standard resident fixed pitch Courier,
Prestige, or Letter Gothic Font is requested by the host.
Use Scalable*
Use Bitmap
Use printer resident scalable fonts for Courier, Prestige, and Letter Gothic fonts when
bitmap font IDs are received from the host.
Use printer resident bitmap fonts for Courier, Prestige, and Letter Gothic fonts when
bitmap font IDs are received from the host.
27
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.
The default setting usually produces the best print quality. Refer to
default settings for all products. Resolutions that are not available on are not displayed.
600 dpi
1200 dpi

3.3.17 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*
Do Not Report
Note:
28
Report Intervention Required messages to the host. This is the typical setting.
Do not report Intervention Required messages to the host. Used only in special cases.
When Page Counter is set to “Early Update”, Intervention Required messages are
not reported to the host.
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.
The Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU > EMULATION > IPDS Timeout value is not active
when the printer is connected to a host through an Adapter for SCS card. The IPDS timeout is
controlled by the Coax or Twinax timeout value on the Adapter for SCS card.
The printer is capable of receiving jobs on multiple printer ports. While the printer is busy printing jobs
from one printer port, jobs on other printer ports remain in a waiting status. When the host disconnects
from the printer or when the printer IPDS emulation times out, the printer automatically switches to
another printer port to start a new job.
“Host Controlled” should be selected as the IPDS Timeout value when the host port value is 9100. The
printer defaults to “Host Controlled” when receiving IPDS jobs on port 9100.
“Host Controlled” or a timeout value (“15 seconds” to “10 minutes”) may be used when the host port
value is 5001 or 9600.
Note: The host port value is specified when configuring the printer parameters on the host. Refer to the
IPDS Printer and Host Setup Guide to determine the port values supported by your printer and
valid host settings compatible with the printer IPDS Timeout values.
Host Controlled*
15 seconds
30 seconds
60 seconds
90 seconds
2 minutes
10 minutes
The printer IPDS emulation remains active until the host disconnects from the
printer. Host timer/timeout values control when the host will disconnect. When the
host disconnects, the printer will print jobs from other printer ports.
Host Timer/Timeout Values and Actions:
The host timer/timeout value should be set to a small value (15 to 30 seconds) so
the host will quickly disconnect after an IPDS job is printed. All IPDS resources
downloaded to the printer will be deleted when the host disconnects. A disabled or
large host timer/timeout value will cause the printer IPDS emulation to remain
active. The BUSY message will remain on the printer operator panel even though the
printer has completed processing and printing the IPDS job.
IPDS emulation timeout values.
These values are only used by the printer IPDS emulation when the host sends IPDS
jobs on port 5001or 9600 to the Standard Network port or a MarkNet internal print
server. If the host does not send another IPDS job or send additional IPDS resource
data to the printer within the printer IPDS 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.
Host Timer/Timeout Values and Actions:
While the printer is printing jobs from other printer ports, the host is still connected
to the printer. The host timer/timeout value must be disabled or set to a large value
to prevent the host from disconnecting and deleting the resources downloaded to the
printer. If the
communication errors may also occur.
host timer/timeout value is not disabled or set to a very large value,
29
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”. Only two sessions are available when the printer IPDS Timeout is set to “15
seconds” – “10 minutes”. When these two sessions are active, the printer will continually respond
busy to any other TCP/IP session requests.
Storage of IPDS Resources
IPDS resources from the last active port 5001 or 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.
• The host ends the IPDS port 5001 or 9600 session.
• TCP/IP communications is interrupted on the port 5001 or 9600 session.
• Another IPDS session is started on port 5001, 9100, or 9600.
• IPDS MENU option values are changed.
• Processing of a non-IPDS job that requires more memory than is available in printer memory.
• The printer is powered OFF.
If the IPDS resources are deleted, the printer will return a Printer Reset exception to the host. The
message Resources Lost may be displayed for a short time on the printer operator panel. The host will
download the resources again with the next IPDS job.
3.3.19 Print IPDS Fonts
This option prints a font sample list of all the printer resident fonts available in the current emulation
followed by a list of currently captured IPDS fonts.
Yes Print IPDS font list.
No Do not print IPDS fonts.
To prevent loss of host downloaded resources a font list can not be printed when an IPDS session is active
with a host. Note that the printer can be in the Ready state and still have a port 5001 or port 9600 active
LAN IPDS session or a Coax or Twinax IPDS session active through the Adapter for SCS. The message
Active IPDS Ses. Ignoring Request will be displayed when you select Yes on the operator panel and an
IPDS host session is active. You must end the IPDS session from the host or power the printer OFF and
ON to print a font list. Host downloaded resources will be deleted when you end the IPDS session or
power the printer OFF.
Note: This function can not be operated remotely.

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.

This option controls the offset stacking function. It is only displayed when offset stacking is supported in
the printer standard bin or when an optional finisher with offset stacking capability is installed. Offset
stacking is only available in selected bins and may be limited to selected media.
Bin selection has a higher priority than offset stacking commands in the IPDS job. The job must be routed
to a bin that supports offset stacking and have offset stacking specified in the job before offset stacking
will be performed.

IPDS jobs are ignored.
3.5.3 UNIVERSAL SIZE
The IPDS emulation uses the paper size setting specified in the printer menu to determine the size loaded.
The paper size is returned to the host. A printer paper size of “Universal” is displayed in the printer menu
when a non-standard size paper is detected in an auto size sensing tray or is selected as the paper size
loaded into a non-size sensing tray or feeder.
This option allows you to specify the physical paper size returned to the host when a non-standard paper
size is loaded. The paper size is specified in 300 dots per inch.
Important: A 34 Short Paper, 34 Wrong Paper Size, or paper jam error may be displayed if printing
occurs past the length of the physical paper. You should specify the actual paper size to avoid errors.

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. The optional sources will only be
displayed when installed on the printer. The Tray x Hp values are only displayed when the an optional
finisher that supports hole punching is installed. Pages can be hole punched using the “Tray x Hp” value
settings. See
You can configure up to 10 mappings. Select a Tray Mapping x in the MAP INPUT TRAYS menu
group (the value x represents any given Tray Mapping number). This displays a list of Tray Values which
identify the available printer input sources. When you select a Tray Value, the operator panel displays a
numerical setting screen to set the IPDS tray selection number that will select that printer input source.

Hole Punching on page 66 for additional information.
Tray Mapping x is a sub-menu selection item. Each item refers to the
number of the mapping, not to the physical printer tray.
Tray Values specify the physical printer tray. The tray values specified
below are available under the specified printer’s Tray Mapping submenu when the physical tray is installed and available.
Check your printer documentation for information on optional tray and
feeder support. Values that may be displayed when trays on feeders are
installed are shown below.
Hp, Tray 5, Tray 5 Hp, Env Feeder, Manual Paper, Manual Paper Hp,

The value range for the IPDS Tray Selection Number is 0 to 255. If an
IPDS tray selection number is mapped (used) twice, the lowest tray
mapping (if available) is used.

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. To swap the IPDS tray selection
number for Tray 1 and Tray 2, you will need to do the following:
1. Set Tray Mapping 2 for Tray 2 to IPDS 0.
2. Set Tray Mapping 1 for Tray 1 to IPDS 1.
This will give you:
Tray Mapping 1 = IPDS 1 mapped to Tray 1
Tray Mapping 2 = IPDS 0 mapped to Tray 2
Note: You must set the Paper Size/Type for the high capacity tray to a different value from all other
trays. For instance, you could choose a different custom paper type. This setting is found in the
printer’s Paper Menu.
Example 2 - Linking input trays
To link multiple input trays as one big input tray, you need to make changes under the printer's Paper
Menu. You need to set the same Paper Size/Type for each of the trays you want to link to the same
value.
For example, the host expects colored paper in Tray 1 and you want to link Tray 2 and Tray 3, which
have plain paper. Do the following:
Leave the MAP INPUT TRAYS at their defaults:
Tray Mapping 1 = IPDS 0 mapped to Tray 1
Tray Mapping 2 = IPDS 1 mapped to Tray 2
Tray Mapping 3 = IPDS 2 mapped to Tray 3
Insert letter-size colored paper in Tray 1. Insert letter-size plain paper in Trays 2 and 3.
The paper size is detected by the printer:
Tray 1 Size = Letter
Tray 2 Size = Letter
Tray 3 Size = Letter
Set the paper type for each tray. In this example, you would configure the three trays as follows:
Tray 1 Type = Colored Paper
Tray 2 Type = Plain Paper
Tray 3 Type = Plain Paper
38
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.
Tray Mapping 6 = IPDS 64 mapped to Env Feeder
Tray Mapping 7 = IPDS 64 mapped to 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.
39
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. The optional printer output bin value will only be
displayed when the physical output bin is installed on the printer. Bin x Hp values and Fin High Cap Hp
values are only displayed when an optional finisher that supports hole punching is installed. Pages can be
hole punched using the “Hp” value settings. See
You can configure up to 12 mappings. This allows the Standard Bin, up to 10 optional bins, and a special
high capacity setting (Fin High Cap) explained in section
Select a Bin Mapping x in the MAP OUTPUT BINS menu group (the value x represents any given Bin
Mapping number). This displays a list of Output Bin Values that identify the available printer physical
bins. When you select an Output Bin Value, the operator panel displays a numerical setting screen to set
the IPDS bin selection number that will select that physical bin.

41.
3.7.1 Descriptions of Output Bin Values
Output bin values are associated with physical bins on the printer. Bin values will only appear in the
menu when the physical bin is available on the printer.
A description for each output bin value is given below.
Std Bin – Selects the printer standard output bin.
40
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.
Bin Mapping 12 = Fin High Cap = IPDS number 25 is a default value on all printers. Assuming the
optional finisher is installed and this default value is not changed, jobs that select IPDS bin number 25 on
the host will always be routed to the finisher bin with the highest capacity.
When hole punching is available in a physical bin, bin selection values may be followed by ‘Hp’ which
indicates hole punching is available. Examples are: Output Bin 1 Hp, Output Bin 2 Hp, Fin High Cap Hp.
When a value with ‘Hp’ is selected, all pages in an IPDS job routed to this bin are hole punched. See
Punching on page
66 for additional information.
Hole
3.7.2 Descriptions of IPDS Bin Selection Numbers
Host applications select printer physical bins by sending IPDS bin selection numbers ranging from 1 to
255. These IPDS bin numbers may be mapped to any physical bin on the printer by changing the printer
physical bin selected by the IPDS bin selection number. Assuming printer default output bin mapping,
when IPDS number 1 is received in an IPDS job, the pages are routed to the printer Standard Bin. When
IPDS bin selection number 2 is received in an IPDS job, the pages are routed to the second printer
physical output bin.
Bin Mapping 12 = Fin High Cap = IPDS bin selection number 25, is a default value on all printers.
Assuming the optional finisher is installed and this default value is not changed, jobs that select IPDS bin
selection number 25 on the host will always be routed to the finisher bin with the highest capacity.
3.7.3 Default Bin Mapping
The default bin mapping shown below represents a typical relationship between IPDS output bin selection
numbers and the printer physical output bins. The default mapping when optional output bins are installed
on the printer is shown in the table below for all printers. In the table below, the labels Bin Mapping 1-
Bin Mapping 12 refer to the number of the mapping, not the printer physical output bin. All printers do
not support ten optional output bins. Default settings will be assigned for all output bins available on your
printer.

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. Input tray Left Margin settings adjust the
page image left or right in relation to the media leading reference edge as it is fed through the printer.
Input tray Top Margin settings adjust the page image up or down in relation to the media leading
reference edge as it is fed through the printer. The illustrations below apply to paper and envelopes when
a finisher is not installed.

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. The ALL INPUT TRAYS margin adjustment PLUS the specific tray or feeder margin adjustment
determines the total margin adjustment for a specific tray or feeder.
Margin Adjustment = ALL INPUT TRAYS setting + Specific Tray / Feeder Setting
The IPDS emulation is limited by the printer’s printable area. The MARGINS menu may be used to
adjust page images outside the valid printable area. The page image will be clipped. Valid Printable Area
(VPA) exception conditions will not be reported to the host.
Margin adjustments are in 1/300ths of an inch.
See the Examples below.
The selected value for each of these options can be printed; see
on page
15 or Printing the Menu Settings Page (MFPs) on page 18.
Printing the Menu Settings Page (printers)

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. For tray 1, the additional TRAY 1 ADJUST Left Margin value will also be used to
adjust the left margin. The tray 1 left margin adjustment will be zero for pages printed from tray 1. The
ALL INPUT TRAYS Left Margin adjustment PLUS the TRAY 1 ADJUST Left Margin adjustment
equals the total left margin adjustment. {–25 pels +25 pels = 0 adjustment}
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. The margin adjustments applied when printing from tray 2 will be
the ALL INPUT TRAYS margins PLUS the TRAY 1 ADJUST margins set for the requested IPDS
input source (tray 1).
Example 2 – Margin and Tray Linking
Tray 2 is requested as the input source from the host. If tray 1 and tray 2 are linked and tray 2 runs out of
paper, paper will be pulled from tray 1. The margin adjustments applied when printing from tray 1 will be
the ALL INPUT TRAYS margins PLUS the TRAY 2 ADJUST margins set for the requested IPDS
input source (tray 2).
Example 3 – Margin and Tray Linking
Tray 2 is requested as the input source from the host. If tray 2, tray 3, and tray 4 are linked and tray 2 runs
out of paper, paper will be pulled from tray 3 until it is empty and then from tray 4. The margin
adjustments applied when printing from tray 3 or tray 4 will be the ALL INPUT TRAYS margins PLUS
the TRAY 2 ADJUST margins set for the requested IPDS input source (tray 2).
Margin and Tray Mapping Interaction
When the host’s IPDS Tray Selection Number has been mapped to another input source using the MAP
INPUT TRAYS option, the value of the MAP INPUT TRAYS option will determine the margin
adjustment applied to pages printed from the selected tray.
Example – Margin and Tray Mapping
The host input source IPDS Tray Selection Number 1 normally selects the printer physical tray 2. If IPDS
Tray Selection Number 1 has been mapped to Tray 1, the TRAY 1 ADJUST margin values will be
applied to all pages in a job that have tray 2 specified as the input source.
Each margin menu option has four sub-menus. The exception is the envelope menu options, which have
only two. The available margin menu options and their sub-menus are shown below.

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.
Refer to your printer manual for more information on the Paper Loading option and how to load
preprinted paper for duplex printing.

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
on page
• Offset stacking commands must be received with the IPDS job.
• The bin selection specified in the IPDS job must be mapped to a bin that supports offset stacking.
See
Output bin selection takes precedence over offset stacking.
Hole punching may be performed with offset stacking.
Note: The Offset Pages menu item under the printer’s Settings > Finishing Menu does not affect offset
stacking of IPDS jobs.
Note: Offset stacking is not supported for all papers sizes or types. Refer to your finisher or printer
documentation for additional information.
33 for additional information.
MAP OUTPUT BINS Menu Options on page 40 for additional information on bin mapping.
3.5.2
5.1.1 AS/400 and iSeries Offset Stacking
When offset stacking is available, the IPDS emulation reports to the host that offset stacking is supported.
The AS/400 and iSeries automatically send offset stacking commands with each job. The host default
output bin selection number is 1, which selects the printer standard bin. If the printer supports offset
stacking in the standard bin, the job will be offset.
Following are different ways to ensure that jobs are offset. The following examples assume that an
optional finisher is installed and offset stacking is supported in the finisher physical bin 1.
• Change the host output bin selection number to 2 in the default printer file using the CHGPRTF
command. (Assumes printer default bin mappings.)
• Create a new printer file using the CRTPRTF command and set the host output bin selection
number to 2. (Assumes printer default bin mappings.)
• In the printer’s Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU > MAP OUTPUT BINS menu, change Bin
Mapping 1 output bin value from Standard Bin to Bin 1. (Assumes the host output bin selection
number is 1.) This routes all jobs that would normally have gone to the printer standard bin to
finisher bin 1, which supports offset stacking. See
for details on bin mapping.
The following examples assume that an optional finisher is installed and offset stacking is supported in
the finisher physical bin 2.
• Change the host output bin selection number to 3 in the default printer file using the CHGPRTF
command. (Assumes printer default bin mappings.)
MAP OUTPUT BINS Menu Options on page 40
• Create a new printer file using the CRTPRTF command and set the host output bin selection
number to 3. (Assumes printer default bin mappings.)
• In the printer’s Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU > MAP OUTPUT BINS menu, change Bin
Mapping 1 output bin value from Standard Bin to Bin 2. (Assumes the host output bin selection
number is 1.) This routes all jobs that would normally have gone to the printer standard bin to
53
finisher bin 2, which supports offset stacking. See
for details on bin mapping.
MAP OUTPUT BINS Menu Options on page 40
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. (See note):
COPYMARK=DATASET Offset stacking increment on dataset boundary.
COPYMARK=JOB Offset stacking increment on job boundary.
COPYMARK=CONSTANT No offset stacking is performed.
Example 2 – JES3
JES3 Specifications using the COPYMARK parameter. (See note):
COPYMARK=C Offset stacking increment on dataset boundary.
COPYMARK=J Offset stacking increment on job boundary.
COPYMARK=N No offset stacking is performed.
Note: Copy marks are not generated by the IPDS emulation.
Example 3 - Output bin selection
The host default output bin selection number is 1, which selects the printer standard bin. If offset stacking
is supported in the printer standard bin, offset stacking will be performed.
Following are different ways to ensure jobs are offset. The following examples assume that an optional
finisher is installed and offset stacking is supported in the finisher physical bin 1.
• Specify OUTBIN in the JCL statements as follows:
//OUT1 OUTPUT OUTBIN=2
//DDNAME DD SYSOUT=CLASS,OUTPUT=(*,OUT1)
• Specify OUTBIN=2 in the OUTPUT DD card of your IEBGENER job.
• In the printer’s Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU > MAP OUTPUT BIN menu, change Bin
Mapping 1 output bin value from Standard Bin to Bin 1. (Assumes the host output bin selection
number is 1.) This routes all jobs that would normally have gone to the printer standard bin to
finisher bin 1, which supports offset stacking. See
for details on bin mapping.
The following examples assume that an optional finisher is installed and offset stacking is supported in
the finisher physical bin 2.
• Specify OUTBIN in the JCL statements as follows:
//OUT1 OUTPUT OUTBIN=3
//DDNAME DD SYSOUT=CLASS,OUTPUT=(*,OUT1)
MAP OUTPUT BINS Menu Options on page 40
• Specify OUTBIN=3 in the OUTPUT DD card of your IEBGENER job.
• In the printer’s Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU > MAP OUTPUT BIN menu, change Bin
Mapping 1 output bin value from Standard Bin to Bin 2. (Assumes the host output bin selection
54
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
for details on bin mapping.
MAP OUTPUT BINS Menu Options on page 40

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. Refer to your printer
documentation for media types and sizes supported by the optional finisher and for any additional
restrictions that may apply.
• Jobs that exceed the maximum staple packet size may or may not be stapled. Results will be
different for different finisher units.
• Stapling has a higher priority than output bin selection.
• Stapling and hole punch may be performed on the same job.
Note: The Staple Job menu item under the printer’s Settings > Finishing Menu does not affect stapling
of IPDS jobs.
5.2.1 AS/400 and iSeries Stapling
Stapling is controlled in the printer file parameters on the AS/400 and iSeries. Printer files may be created
using the ‘CRTPRTF’ command or changed using the ‘CHGPRTF’ command. Check to see that all PTFs
that affect stapling have been applied before calling for technical support.
Finishing capabilities for optional finishers vary. Differences are explained below.

5.2.1.1 Lexmark C772, C782, C920, T640, T642, T644, X646ef MFP, and X782e MFP Optional
Finisher
The optional finisher supports only one staple position. You can not physically change the position of the
staple. The printer automatically rotates text before stapling when the finisher is installed. If necessary,
reformat your job on the host with a different text orientation to avoid stapled sets that are hard to read.
Refer to your printer or finisher documentation to determine the finishing support and staple location for
various paper sizes. Finishing functions may not be applied to all paper sizes.

5.2.2.3 Lexmark C935, X940e MFP, X945e MFP, X850e MFP, X852e MFP, and X854e MFP Optional
Advanced Finisher Functions
The Lexmark C935, X940e MFP, X945e MFP, X850e MFP, X852e MFP, and X854e MFP support a
Standard Finisher and an Advanced Finisher. Advanced finishing functions for the Lexmark X850e MFP,
X852e MFP, and X854e MFP are supported on base printer code LC3.BE.P339 (or greater) with IPDS
code 3.01-01257 (or greater). The Advanced Finisher supports Dual staple (IPDS Edge stitch), Double
Dual staple (IPDS Edge stitch with 4 staples), Center Fold (Center Fold-in), and Saddle staple (Saddle
stitch-in). The printer automatically rotates the text 180 degrees for short-edge fed paper and 90 degrees
for long-edge fed paper. If necessary, reformat your job on the host with a different text orientation to
avoid stapled or folded sets that are hard to read.
Finishing functions may not be applied to all paper sizes. Refer to your printer or finisher documentation
to determine the finishing support and staple location for various paper sizes
How to specify the Printer File parameters for Saddle staple is shown below. Examples for Corner staple
and Dual staple are in section
5.2.2.3.1 Saddle Staple (IPDS Saddle stitch-in)
5.2.2.2 on page 64.
Saddle staple may be specified using various application programs using the Operation Type Saddle
stitch-in (X'12' in the IPDS data stream).
Saddle stitch-in folds the paper inward (printed side in) along the centerline and places two staples in the
centerline fold. Saddle stitch-in is only supported on selected paper sizes. Refer to your printer or finisher
documentation for the paper sizes supported.
Saddle stitch-in is only supported on Letter and A4 paper when the paper is loaded for Short Edge Fed
(SEF) printing. All jobs specifying Saddle stitch-in will be routed to finisher physical bin 3. Saddle stitchin has a higher priority than bin selection, offset, and hole punch. These functions will be ignored when
specified with Saddle stitch-in.
The following is an example of a job output statement that includes the Form Definition to perform
Saddle stitch-in.
//OUT1 OUTPUT CLASS=C,COPIES=1,FORMDEF=FS0010
65
5.3 Hole Punching
Hole punching of IPDS jobs is available when an optional finisher with hole punch capability is installed.
See the table on page
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.
The following is an example of a job output statement that includes the Form Definition to perform 3-hole
punch.
//OUT1 OUTPUT CLASS=C,COPIES=1,FORMDEF=F1H10110
Pages may also be hole punched by selecting a value in the printer’s Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU
> MAP INPUT TRAYS menu or in the printer’s Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU > MAP
OUTPUT BINS menu. When this method is used, the hole punch command does not have to be received
in the job. Refer to your printer or finisher documentation to determine the hole punch location for
various paper sizes. The following sections describe how to use the printer menus to hole punch IPDS
jobs.
Note: The Hole Punch menu item under the printer’s Settings > Finishing Menu does not affect hole
punching of IPDS jobs.
51 to determine if your finisher supports hole punching.
5.3.1 Hole Punching From an Input Source
Hole punching may be performed on paper pulled from any paper input source on the printer. Hole
punching from an input source is specified using the printer’s Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU >
MAP INPUT TRAYS menu. See
information. A combination of the printer physical input source and the IPDS data stream requested input
source is used to specify hole punching.
Example 1 - To have all pages

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.
Selecting a specific job to cancel can be difficult when several small jobs are queued to print from the
host.
6.2 How to Cancel a Job Using the Printer Operator Panel
1. Press the Select button on the operator panel while your IPDS job is printing.

7 Working with Captured Fonts
7.1 Capture Font and Remove Font
Capture is a function whereby downloaded fonts can be stored on disk or user flash. The flash memory
and hard disk may be printer optional storage media ordered separately from the printer.
Menu path: Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU > FONT CAPTURE. This menu group has two items:
Capture Fonts and Remove Fonts.
These menu items are described in
A captured font is treated as if it is a printer-resident font. Unlike resident fonts, which can not be deleted,
captured fonts may be deleted when storage space is required. Fonts that are resident on the printer will
not be downloaded for capture by the host.
Captured fonts are:
• only available to the IPDS emulation.
• retained in the printer across job boundaries, IPDS sessions and power cycles.
• available for use by any host connected to the printer.
Fonts captured to flash memory or a disk remain in the printer until:
• cleared by using the Remove Fonts menu item or
• overwritten with a later capture of a font with the same object ID or characteristics
Fonts activated from flash or disk and in use during a session will not be cleared by Remove Fonts.
Activated fonts will remain in memory until the activation is removed by the host or the session with the
host is ended.
When there is not enough space remaining to capture a font, a message will be displayed. Select
Continue on the operator panel or touch screen to clear the message. Some printers may automatically
continue after a short period of time. The job will be printed without capturing any remaining fonts. Only
one such message is displayed during an IPDS session. This prevents the printer from halting each time a
new font is received.
FONT CAPTURE Menu Options on page 49.
7.2 Preparing Fonts for Capture
Fonts that can be captured are: eligible bitmap fonts (LF1 format), eligible outline fonts (LF3 format), and
eligible TrueType fonts. TrueType fonts can only be captured to disk.
The resolution of the captured font must match the IPDS emulation resolution for the font to be used by
the host application. For instance, a font captured with a 300 pel resolution can not be used by the IPDS
emulation when it is emulating an IBM 3812/3816 printer. The fonts used in emulating a 3812/3816
printer have a resolution of 240 pels.
Important: Fonts intended for capturing must be marked eligible for capture on the host before they
will be downloaded to the printer for capture. You should always check your font licensing information
before making a font eligible for capture. Sensitive fonts should not be made eligible for capture.
Basic information about how mark a font as eligible on the AS/400 or iSeries is on page
information about how to mark a fonts as eligible on a Mainframe is on page
70
72.
71. Basic
7.2.1 Capturing Fonts from an AS/400 or iSeries
7.2.1.1 Program Requirements
On an AS/400, PSF/400 V4R2 or later is required for making fonts eligible for capture. All iSeries
releases support font capture.
7.2.1.2 Making Fonts Eligible for Capture on the Host
Two steps are required 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. This is done when you create
the font resource using the CRTFNTRSC command or change the font resource using the CHGFNTRSC
command. A raster font is built from a font character set and a code page. Both of these font resources
must be marked eligible for the raster font to be captured. Additional information on font capture may be
found in iSeries Printer Device Programming Version 5 (SC41-5713-04).
2. Identify the printer as being capable of capturing fonts.
Set the FNTCAPTURE parameter to *YES in the printer PSFCONFIG.
Note: If you need to make TrueType fonts eligible for capture, you should probably use the Font
Installer for AFP Systems.
71
7.2.2 Capturing Fonts from a Mainframe Host
7.2.2.1 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.
7.2.2.2 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. (For details on font
capture with PSF refer to the PSF Customization Guide, Program Number: 5655-B17)
OS390/MVS 2.4 or later
PFS for MVS 2.2 or later
Note: Earlier releases may also support "Font Capture". For details - check your "PSF Customization
Guide".
There are basically 3 steps involved regarding font capture as follows:
1. Display current font marking status.
2. Mark fonts for capture.
3. Send job from host to printer with the font and font character set you want printer to capture.
Fonts on the host can be marked either "PUBLIC", "PRIVATE", or "UNMARKED". In order for the
printer to capture fonts as resident the fonts must be marked "PUBLIC" on the host. Fonts marked
"PRIVATE" are only temporarily downloaded and are removed from printer by the host. "UNMARKED"
fonts are treated the same as if they were marked "PRIVATE" and will not be captured as printer resident
fonts.
Detailed examples of the three steps are shown below.
Note: If you need to make TrueType fonts eligible for capture, you should probably use the Font
Installer for AFP Systems.
72
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.
Sample JCL to run font report listing to determine current font marking status:
//APSHORT JOB (),
// CLASS=A,
// MSGCLASS=A,
// MSGLEVEL=(1,1),
// NOTIFY=&SYSUID,
// TIME=1440
//*** NOTE: USE THIS JOB TO PRINT SHORT FONT STATUS MARKINGS ONLY ****

/*
Note: Change report type to "LONG" for font detailed report (replace the "SHORT" option).
STEP 2. MARKING FONTS FOR CAPTURE
In order for printer to capture host fonts as resident printer fonts they must be marked "PUBLIC". The
following is a sample of the JCL commands to mark existing fonts as "PUBLIC".
Sample JCL to Mark Fonts "PUBLIC":
//APSMARK JOB (),
// CLASS=A,
// MSGCLASS=A,
// MSGLEVEL=(1,1),
// NOTIFY=&SYSUID,
// TIME=1440
//*********************************************************************

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. The following is a sample of the
JCL commands to copy and mark all fonts "PUBLIC" to a new library.
Sample JCL to copy and mark all fonts "PUBLIC" to a new font library:

INDD=IN1,OUTDD=INOUT1,PUBLIC,MEMBER=ALL
/*
STEP 3. SENDING JOB FROM HOST TO PRINTER SELECTING FONT CHARACTER SET
YOU WANT PRINTER TO CAPTURE
Once you have marked fonts "PUBLIC" you can select the font character set to be captured from either
within printer definition member in PSF or from within the in-stream JCL of the job. The following is an
example of both.
To select font capture from printer definition member, add the "CHARS" option as follows to your PSF
printer member.
// CHARS=(88FB) /* default font set */
74
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.
Using the browser, you can save new settings to a printer. Option changes will become active when the
next IPDS host session starts.
It is not possible to do everything from the browser that you can do from the operator panel; see section
8.3 on page 77.
Finally, using a browser can also be useful to display selected information about IPDS Configuration
and IPDS Product Information. This can be used as an alternative or supplement to printing menu
settings (as shown in
Page (MFPs) on page
Printing the Menu Settings Page (printers) on page 15 or Printing the Menu Settings
18).
8.2 Remote Configuration Using a Browser
A browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape, may be used to remotely configure most
IPDS settings on printers attached to a LAN using a Standard Network port or MarkNet internal print
servers.
To access and change IPDS option settings through your browser:
1. End all IPDS sessions with the printer. This may involve ending all active AS/400 or iSeries
writers and draining all active Mainframe printers. (see Note)
2. Access the printer web page by typing the IP address of the printer as the URL.
3. Select Configuration.
4. Select IPDS Settings.
5. Select IPDS Configuration. All option values that may be changed remotely will be displayed.
In addition, the IPDS Version and the setting for Trace Functions will be displayed (read only).
6. Change option settings as desired.
7. Click Submit at the bottom of the page. The Submit button sends the new values to the printer.
These values are saved in the printer and will become active when the next IPDS host session is
started.
8. The browser GUI will then display a confirmation that the settings have been submitted and
return to the IPDS Configuration page, displaying the submitted values.
9. Restart all IPDS sessions. Option changes will become active when the next IPDS host session
starts.
Note: If new values are submitted during an IPDS session, the new settings will not be used until the
current IPDS session ends and a new IPDS session is established.
76
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.
• Remove Fonts – This operation is not shown.
• IPDS Version – The current version is shown but can not be changed.
To enable or disable Trace Functions, or to Print IPDS Fonts, use the operator panel Option Card Menu
> IPDS MENU > EMULATION > Trace Functions.
To remove captured fonts, use the printer’s Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU > Font Capture >
Remove Fonts > Yes.

10.4 N-up Printing
N-up print support allows multiple pages to be printed on a single sheet. N-up allows 1-4 partitions to be
defined per side of a sheet of paper. This allows up to 8 pages to be printed per sheet. Default page
placement (N-up) and explicit page placement (N-up EPP) are supported. Refer to the “Load Copy
Control and Logical Page Position” command in the Intelligent Printer Data Stream Reference (S544-
3417) for more information.
81
10.5 Color and Simulated Grey Scale Printing
Color or simulated grey scale printing is supported in all IPDS towers. Function Sets (FS) 10, 11, 42, and
45 are supported. Full process color is supported when using FS45. ABIC (Bi-level Q-Coder)
compression is not supported. Additional information may be found in the “Image Object Content
Architecture (IOCA) Reference” (publication SC31-6805-05).
Full process color using FS45 is supported on iSeries V5R2 and higher.
10.6 TrueType Fonts
TrueType fonts may be downloaded from the host. True Type Font support is only available on selected
products that support IPDS code release 3.01-01210 and higher. For some products this code may only be
available as a field upgrade. Contact your point-of-purchase for information.
TrueType fonts can be linked to a TrueType base font to form an ordered list of fonts that are essentially
processed as a single font. IPDS supports printing of linked fonts. The font linking function fulfills two
primary requirements:
• Supports the ability to add user-defined characters to a given font. This requirement is particularly
strong in Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese markets.
• Supports the ability to extend a font with additional characters. These are not user-defined characters,
but characters that did not fit into a single font due to the 64K restriction for TrueType fonts. The most
important example for this requirement is the extension of the base Chinese character set for GB18030
support.
For more information about installing and managing TrueType Fonts, consult Chapter 4 in “Using
OpenType Fonts in an AFP System” (G544-5876). For detailed information, please consult the product
documentation for the Font Installer for AFP Systems.
10.7 Object Container Support
Object container support is only available on selected products that support IPDS code release 3.01-01210
and higher. For some products this code may only be available as a field upgrade. Contact your point-ofpurchase for information.
Support for object containers makes it possible to send various types of resource and presentation objects
to the printer.
Support is currently provided for:
• TrueType fonts (see page
• JFIF (jpeg) – presentation object
• IOCA tiles (used in IO images)
82)
10.8 IO Images as Resources
Support for IO images as resources is only available on selected products that support IPDS code release
3.01-01210 and higher. For some products this code may only be available as a field upgrade. Contact
your point-of-purchase for information.
Support is given for the use of IO images as resources that can be included in a page at a later time without
having to include the IO image in an overlay.
82
10.9 Media Reporting by Object ID (OID)
Media names identified as media IDs are returned to the host for each printer paper source. This
information is reported in Bytes 24-36 of the Execute Order Home State (XOH) Obtain Printer
Characteristics (OPC) Printable Area Self Defining Field (SDF). The tables below define the values
reported to the host.
The printer supports multiple input sources. A Printable Area SDF is returned for each input source in a
single XOH-OPC Acknowledgement Reply. The printer only reports media names for media sizes
supported by the printer input sources.
Below are tables showing common information returned in the replay and specific media IDs returned
sorted by media names.

A. Technical Specifications
A.1 Product Description
The Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe is an option that is installed in the printer optional firmware card
connector. With the Card and either the Standard Network port, a MarkNet internal LAN print server, or
the Coax/Twinax Adapter for SCS, the printer becomes an IBM host workstation printer capable of
printing AFP or IPDS documents from an AS/400, iSeries, System/390, or zSeries computer.
See the SCS/TNe Emulation User's Guide for SCS printing capabilities over a LAN network connection.
The IPDS emulation supports scalable fonts and higher print resolutions. The default print resolution is
selected through an Option Card Menu >IPDS MENU setting.
The printer can be configured to take advantage of additional RAM memory. When attached to a LAN
through an internal print server, it can save IPDS resources to improve performance for complex IPDS
print jobs.
The IPDS emulation supports the IPDS data and resource towers. Fonts and other resources can be
downloaded to the printer.
If your printer supports a duplex option, duplex printing is supported for all printer emulations dependent
on host software. Up to five input sources are supported through Print Services Facility (PSF).
