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
1200 Image Q

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.
