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* IBM 4028 emulation 3112/3116 IBM 3112/3116 emulation 43xx IBM 4312, 4317 or 4324 emulation 3812/3816 IBM 3812/3816 emulation

Note: The 3812/16 emulation does not support the printer IPDS Resolution setting

of 300 dpi. If 3812/16 emulation is selected and the printer IPDS Resolution setting is 300 dpi, the printer IPDS emulation ignores the 300 dpi setting and uses 600 dpi. This means, that the 240 dpi data received from the host is converted to the printer's working resolution of 600 dpi.

Page 31

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 Codepages F – K Codepages L – Z

Note: Code pages 1140 – 1149 support the new euro symbol. They are only

available on IPDS code level 8223 and above.

IPDS code levels below 8223 have only two code page groups.

4.3.3 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.

Version 1* Use version 1 of appropriate code pages.

Version 0 Use version 0 of appropriate code pages.

Page 32

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.

Option name Values

3812/3816 FGID See page 138, 143 and 146

4028/31xx FGID See page 138, 143 and 144

43xx FGID See page 138, 143 and 144

The 4028/31xx and 43xx printers all use 300 pel fonts. Selecting a Default FGID value under the 4028/31xx menu or the 43xx menu will automatically change the Default FGID value of the other 300 pel emulations. The 3812/16 FGID is not affected by the other menu selections.

11* Default FGID for 3812/3816.

416* Default FGID for 4028/31xx and 43xx. When using a CPI value

of 10.0 FGID 416 is equal to FGID 11.

4.3.5 Default CPI

Selects the default characters per inch (CPI) to be used by the printer IPDS emulation when the host does not send a CPI value at the start of a job. The option does not apply to the fixed pitch fonts. This option is only available on IPDS emulation code level 8141 or higher.

The range is 5.0 to 30.0.

10.0* Default CPI

Page 33

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.

Page 34

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. 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.

Physical Page The printable area is the physical page (edge to edge). The

physical page printable area is reported to the host. With this setting active, you may need to adjust the left margin setting.

Note: Only the Optra S/Se printer can physically print edge

to edge. No clipping will occur. Continual printing within 50 pels of the paper edge is not recommended. It can result in poor print quality and paper jams due to toner contamination of the paper path. All other printer models will report the physical page printable area but will clip any text printed within 50 pels of any edge.

Full Page The job is formatted for a page using a printable area, which is

edge to edge. However, when the page is actually printed, the page image is compressed 2% in both the horizontal and vertical directions.

Note: Full Page is only available on the Optra S/Se printer

models.

Page 35

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 1.125MB plus 12.5% of memory above 4MB can be used as

IPDS resource memory.

Normal* Up to 1.25MB plus 25% of memory above 4MB can be used as IPDS

resource memory.

More Up to 1.5MB plus 50% of memory above 4MB can be used as IPDS

resource memory.

Note: Resource Memory appears as an option in the printer panel only if you have

more than 4MB of installed memory.

Page 36

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. The printer IPDS emulation will print the IPDS job but not report "08C1" printable area exceptions or "0411" bar code exceptions to the host.

Sup Undef Char 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.

Suppress Both Both position errors and undefined character exceptions are

suppressed.

Page 37

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. If a font/code page combination is selected, which is not fully supported, characters may be missing.

Strict 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.

4.3.11 Font Type

This option selects the type of fonts used by the printer when a fixed pitch Courier, Prestige, or Letter Gothic Font is requested by the host.

Use Scalable* Use printer resident scalable fonts for Courier, Prestige, and Letter

Gothic fonts when bitmap font Font IDs are received from the host.

Use Bitmap Use printer resident bitmap fonts for Courier, Prestige, and Letter

Gothic fonts when bitmap font IDs are received from the host.

Page 38

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.

600 dpi* Print at 600 pel resolution 1200 dpi Print at 1200 pel resolution 300 dpi Print at 300 pel resolution

Note: The 3812/16 emulation does not support the printer IPDS Resolution

setting of 300 dpi. If 3812/16 emulation is selected and the printer IPDS Resolution setting is 300 dpi, the printer IPDS emulation ignores the 300 dpi setting and uses 600 dpi. This means, that the 240 dpi data received from the host is converted to the printer's working resolution of 600 dpi.

Some jobs may not print in the standard 4MB of installed printer memory. The 300 dpi resolution uses the least amount of memory. Switch to this resolution if your job will not print in the memory installed in the printer or add additional memory. Refer to appendix C. Recommended memory on page 151 for minimum total recommended memory for each resolution setting. Additional memory above the total recommended may be required for printing complex pages. Additional memory may also increase print speed.

Page 39

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.

Note: When Page Counter is set to “Early Update”,

Intervention Required messages are not reported to the

host.

Page 40

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. 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 or 9102. The printer defaults to Host Controlled when receiving IPDS jobs on port 9100 or 9102. Host Controlled or the timeout values (15 seconds to 10 minutes) may be used when the host port value is 9600. The host port value is specified when configuring the printer parameters on the host.

Host Controlled*

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 printer busy light will flash and IPDS will remain on the printer operator panel even though the printer has completed processing and printing the IPDS job.

Page 41

15 seconds 30 seconds 60 seconds 90 seconds 2 minutes 3 minutes 5 minutes 10 minutes

Note: • Up to four different LAN sessions may be active on port 9600.

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.

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 should be disabled or set to a large value to prevent the host from disconnecting and deleting the resources downloaded to the printer.

Requests for additional sessions will be ignored until the host disconnects from one of the established sessions.

• The IPDS Timeout values are not active when the printer is

connected to a host through an SCS adapter card. The IPDS timeout is controlled by the Coax or Twinax timeout value on the SCS adapter card.

• The IPDS Timeout value defaults to Host Controlled when the

printer is connected to a host through a MarkNet Pro or MarkNet XLe print server. The host port value must be 9100 or 9102 to communicate with these print servers.

See Storage of IPDS Resources on next page for additional information.

Page 42

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.

• The host ends the IPDS port 9600 session.

• TCP/IP communications is interrupted on the port 9600 session.

• Another IPDS session is started on port 9100, 9102, or 9600.

• IPDS Menu option values are changed.

• Processing of a non-IPDS job which requires more memory than is available in

printer memory.

• Reset Printer is selected on the operator panel.

• The printer is powered OFF.

If the IPDS resources are deleted, the printer will return a Printer Reset exception to the host. The host will download the resources again with the next IPDS job.

Page 43

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.

Disable* Disable Trace Serial Output Enable serial port for output of trace data Parallel Output Enable parallel port for output of trace data

Note: Some Optra models do not have a serial port standard on the printer. A Tri-

Port Adapter must be installed in printer option card slot one to perform serial tracing on these models.

Page 49

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.

Note: The optional printer input sources will only be displayed when installed on

the printer.

A typical relationship between IPDS numbers and the input sources would be:

IPDS Number Printer Input Source

0 Tray 1 1 Tray 2 2 Tray 3 3 Tray 4 4 Tray 5 64 (40H) Envelopes (Manual or Feeder) 99 (63H) Manual Paper

Example 1

You may want to use one of the higher capacity input trays for IPDS 000. To swap the IPDS number for Tray 1 and Tray 2, you will need to do the following:

1. Set TRAY MAP 2 for Tray 2 to "IPDS 000".

2. Set TRAY MAP 1 for Tray 1 to "IPDS 001".

This will give you:

TRAY MAP 1 = IPDS 001 mapped to Tray 1 TRAY MAP 2 = IPDS 000 mapped to Tray 2

Page 50

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 IPDS 64 Env Feeder Tray Mapping 7 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.

Example 3

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 PAPER SIZE and PAPER 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 MAP 1 = IPDS 000 mapped to Tray 1 TRAY MAP 2 = IPDS 001 mapped to Tray 2

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

Page 51

Set the PAPER TYPE for the three trays as follows:

Tray 1 Type = Colored Paper Tray 2 Type = Plain Paper Tray 3 Type = 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.

Note: Values which are not available on your printer will not be displayed.

4.7 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 bin is mapped to an IPDS host number. Printer output bins include the top of the printer (standard bin) and optional output bins that attach to the top of the printer.

The labels Bin Mapping 1- Bin Mapping 10 refer to the number of the mapping, not the physical output bin.

If an IPDS number is mapped (used) twice, the lowest bin mapping (if available) is used.

A typical relationship between IPDS numbers and the output bins would be:

IPDS Number Printer Output Bin

1 Standard Bin 2 Bin 1 3 Bin 2 4 Bin 3

Page 54

4.7.1 Bin Mapping

Note: Output Bin values will only be displayed when optional output bins are

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. Input tray Left Margin settings adjust the page image left or right in relation to the paper 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 paper leading reference edge as it is fed through the printer.

The input feeder 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. Input feeder Left Margin settings adjust the page image left or right in relation to the envelope reference edge as it is fed through the printer. Input feeder Top Margin settings adjust the page image up or down in relation to the envelope reference edge as it is fed through the printer.

Page 57

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 SIMM for IPDS 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.

Note: The Margins menu is only available on IPDS code level 8223 and above.

Example 1 – Margins

The All Input Tray 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 Tray 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 Number has been mapped to another input source using the Tray Mapping option, the value of the Tray Mapping option will determine the margin adjustment applied to pages printed from the selected tray.

Example – Margin and Tray Mapping

The host input source IPDS Number 1 normally selects the printer physical tray 2. If IPDS Number 1 has been mapped to Tray 1, the Tray 1 Adjust margin values will be applied to all pages in a job which have tray 2 specified as the input source.

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 V2.1 (or greater)

• PSF/400 V3R1 (or greater), V3R6, V4R1, V4R2

The SIMM for IPDS adds support for the non-standard bi-directional TCP/IP PPD/PPR protocol allowing the IPDS data to be transmitted using TCP/IP.

Important: An IPDS host expects to have full control of IPDS resources and

settings once it has established communications with the printer. More than one IPDS host may send jobs to a LAN attached IPDS printer. The second host job will be started by the printer after the first host job has been completed and the first host releases the printer. Release of the printer is controlled by the host "release timer" value, the printer IPDS Timeout value, and the MarkNet S, MarkNet Pro, or MarkNet XLe timeouts as specified in the following sections.

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.

Page 66

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.

On IPDS code level 8222 and below, the IPDS emulation cannot 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. IPDS jobs will either be accepted through the LAN connection or the Coax/Twinax connection, but not both. If you try to share the IPDS emulation between the connections, the printer will stop and display the message Two IPDS Sources Recycle Power. The connection through which the IPDS emulation first receives data will be the only connection recognized by the SIMM for IPDS.

If you are installing a:

• MarkNet S adapter – Go to section 5.2 Configuring a MarkNet S Adapter on

page 66.

• MarkNet Pro print server – Go to section 5.3 Configuring a MarkNet Pro on

page 69.

• MarkNet XLe print server – Go to section 5.4 Configuring a MarkNet XLe

on page 71.

5.2 Configuring a MarkNet S Adapter

To enable IPDS printing with a MarkNet S adapter, several settings must be changed. You can make these changes from the printer operator panel. For more information on how to change these settings, refer to the Network Adapter User’s Guide or the Network Adapter Hardware Setup manual, which came with your adapter.

Page 67

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.

Here you find the following settings:

Activate Yes Enable BOOTP Yes or No

(Yes, if you use a BOOTP server.) (No, if you set the IP address another way.)

Enable DHCP Yes or No (Yes, if you use a DHCP server.) (No, if you set the IP address another way.)

Enable RARP Yes or No (Yes, if you use a RARP server.) (No, if you set the IP address another way.)

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)

Set Hostname Name (Necessary when using DHCP server.)

Page 68

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. Errors are very likely to occur when the printer requires user intervention and the intervention is not cleared before the timeout occurs.

Setting the MarkNet S Job Timeout smaller than the host "release timer" value or the printer IPDS Timeout value will result in communication errors after the job has printed.

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 NETWORK CARD. Press Select.

Here you find the following setting:

Job Timeout 0

(A setting of 0 allows the host system timer or the printer IPDS Timeout value to control when print jobs from another protocol, interface, server or host can be started.)

Page 69

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: 2.9.15 (or greater)

To see the code level, you need to print the setup page. To print the MarkNet Pro setup page, press and release Menu and Test simultaneously. Under the Network Card heading on the Setup Page, look for Firmware Revision.

For more information, see Lexmark’s Network Printer Utility Guide.

If you need to update your MarkNet code level, contact the Lexmark Technical Support Center. MarkNet Pro firmware updates are also available from the Lexmark web site at http://www.lexmark.com.

5.3.2 Setting the MarkNet Pro 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 Pro. 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)

Page 70

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.

Setting the MarkNet Pro Job Timeout smaller than the host "release timer" value will result in communication errors after the job has printed.

5.3.4 Setting the MarkNet Pro Busy Timeout

Some MarkNet Pro models can support multiple parallel port connections. Each parallel port connection has a separate Busy Timeout setting. The Busy Timeout must be set on the MarkNet Pro parallel port connection which is connected to your IPDS printer.

Note: This timeout is named “Busy Timeout” on the MarkNet Pro setup page and

is named “Printer Timeout” under Adapter Settings when displayed using MarkVision.

The recommended setting for the MarkNet Pro Busy 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 Busy 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.

Setting the MarkNet Pro Busy Timeout smaller than the host "release timer" value will result in communication errors after the job has printed.

Page 71

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

5.4.1 Printing a MarkNet XLe Setup Page

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.

For an installation description please refer to the IBM publications:

Print Service Facility/MVS Update Guide Version 2, Release 2, Modification 0 Publication No. G544-3984-01

Print Services Facility/MVS System Programming Guide Version 2, Release 2, Modification 0 Publication No. S544-3672-03

5.8.1 Steps to Create a New Printer

1. Define the printer to VTAM.

PSFL2450 MODEENT LOGMODE=PSFL2450, FMPROF='13',TSPROF='07',PRIPROT='B0', SECPROT='B0',COMPROT='D0B1',RUSIZES='87F8' PSERVIC='060200000000000000002000' PSNDPAC='02,SRCVPAC='02',SSNDPAC='00'

Page 91

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. Add the printer to the PSF STARTUP PROC.

//PRT7 CNTL //PRT7 PRINTDEV FONTDD=*.FONT01, /* FONT */ //OVLYDD=*.OLAY01, /* OVERLAY */ //PSEGDD=*.PSEG02, /* SEGMENT */ //PDEFDD=*.PDEF01, /* PAGEDEF */ //FDEFDD=*.FDEF01, /* FORMDEF */ //JOBHDR=*.JOBHDR, /* JOB HEADER */ //JOBTRLR=*.JOBTLR, /* JOB TRAILER */ //DSHDR=*.DSHDR, /* DATA SET HEADER */ //FORMDEF=A10110, /* FORMDEF */ //PIMSG=(YES,16), /* MESSAGES */ //DATACK=BLOCK, /* BLOCK DATA CHECKS */ //TRACE=NO, /* INTERNAL TRACE */ //MGMTMODE=OUTAVAIL, /* OUTPUT AVAILABLE */ //DISCINTV=15, /* TIMEOUT=15 SECONDS */ //TIMEOUT=REDRIVE, //FAILURE=WCONNECT, /* ATTEMPT RECONNECT */ //IPADDR=157.184.67.102, //PORTNO=9100, //PRT7 ENDCNTL

Refer to the next section for information on selecting DISCINTV and PORTNO.

Page 92

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 4.3.14 IPDS Timeout on page 40 for further information on the selection of ports.

The value (15) for DISCINTV specifies the time in seconds after which PSF ends the printer session when no output is available. The valid range is from 0 to 8160 seconds. The default value is 0. If DISCINTV=0, the PSF does not end the printer session when no output is available.

The MarkNet S has a network inactivity timer called Job Timeout. The MarkNet Pro and the MarkNet XLe adapter has a network inactivity timer called the End-of-Job Timeout option. We will refer to both as the End-of-Job Timeout. The default is 90 seconds. It is recommended that the End-of-Job Timeout is disabled (set to 0) and the

DISCINTV is set to 15 seconds, if the printer IPDS Timeout value is set to Host Controlled.

Page 93

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. Please refer to the Lexmark Network Adapter User's Guide.

For activation timeout errors, set the connect timer or activation timer in the PSF settings to 30 second or greater.

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. Start PSF/2 control panel by selecting the PSF/2 Folder and then selecting the

PSF/2 Control Panel icon.

Page 96

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.

Page 97

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|. The PSF/2 printer device is now created and is ready to print from a PSF/2 connected IBM host.

Page 98

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: You can check the connection using the PSF/2 Print Submitter. A

number of AFP print files are delivered with the PSF/2 package. Any of these files can be submitted to the newly created print queue.

Page 99

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. Start the PSF/2 control panel by selecting the PSF/2 folder and then the

PSF/2 Control Panel icon.

2. On the PSF/2 Control Panel select |Profile| and then |Change|.

Page 100

100

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.

If you are using a MarkNet S adapter and set the printer IPDS Timeout value to Host Controlled, the recommended value is 30 seconds.
