1 Introduction

1.1 About This Guide

Thank you for purchasing the Card for IPDS which provides emulation support for Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS). 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 or IPDS documents from an AS/400, iSeries, System/370, System/390, zSeries, or InfoPrint Manager.
Unless otherwise stated, the term “printer” covers both printers and Multifunction Products (MFPs).
This guide contains information to assist you in understanding 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.
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 optional firmware cards.
If you need basic info rmation about your printer setup and printer operation, please refer to the printer’s specific documentation.

1.2 Equipment Requirements and Specifications for IPDS Emulation Printing

This manual applies to the following printers:
Lexmark C792
Lexmark C925
Lexmark C950
This manual applies to the following Multifunction Products (MFPs):
Lexmark X792
Lexmark X925
Lexmark X548
Lexmark X950, X952, X954
Lexmark 6500e

To print IPDS jobs, the printer must have the optional Card for IPDS installed, a required* minimum of user memory (DRAM), and one of the following:
Standard Network (Ethernet connection integrated into printer system board).
MarkNet internal LAN print server (optional card providing Ethernet connection).
Lexmark wireless internal print server.
*Note: A minimum amount of user memory (DRAM) may be required to support IPDS. Refer to Memory
Requirements and Recommendations on page 115.

1.3 Customer Support

Information on how to configure the host and printer during the initial installation is found in the Card for IPDS, IPDS Printer and Host Setup Guide.
If you cannot find answers in this guide about using the IPDS emulation, or require firmware updates, please contact your point of purchase, your local Lexmark office, or check the Lexmark support web site at
