1 Introduction
The IPDS DIMM provides more features that any other competitive product in the
world.
The IPDS DIMM is an internal module for AFP print using the IPDS printing
capabilities. As one of the very few companies MPI Tech offers total connectivity
flexibility as the solution operates with both HP JetDirect and MPI Tech LAN
connectivity solutions for TCP/IP attachment to S/390, AS/400 and AIX systems
for AFP printing. Direct connection to IBM mainframe or AS/400 using coax or
twinax attachments is also possible.
MPI Tech's IPDS printing solution is one of the most widely used within the
industry and offers a wide range of features and added value enhancements. The
IPDS DIMM™ provides plug-in IPDS support as an additional Printer Driver
Language.
Installation can be performed by simply inserting the IPDS DIMM in the HP
printer. Once the IPDS DIMM is installed, configuration of the IPDS setup options
can be performed via your web browser. The IPDS DIMM uses the TCP/IP PPD
protocol, which is sent by your IBM host system from supported IBM PSF
products using TCP/IP host attachment.
Note: IRQ-reporting is not supported when the IPDS DIMM is used with an
interface other than MPI Tech's own.

2 Installation
The installation of the IPDS DIMM is described in detail below.
Requirements: Minimum 8MB RAM installed in the printer.
Note: Before you start installing the IPDS DIMM, make sure that the printer is
powered off and that the power cord has been disconnected.
CAUTION
Static electricity can damage your IPDS Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM).
When handling the IPDS DIMM, you should either wear an antistatic wrist strap,
or frequently touch the metal surface of the printer.
2.1.1 Actual installation
1. Open the interface cable door on the right side of the printer by pressing
on the release tabs. Disconnect all interface cables.
2. Facing the printer front, lift up the top cover.
3. Press the release button on the right side below the top cover. Slide the
right side panel forward until the alignment arrows line up.
4. Take the cover off, pulling it away from the printer. You will now have
access to the available DIMM slots.
5. Remove the IPDS DIMM from the antistatic bag. Hold by the edges,
component side facing towards the back of the printer. Make certain that
the locks on each side of the slot are open, and that the notches on the
IPDS DIMM are aligned with the DIMM slot. For best results, use the DIMM
slots in 1-2-3 order.
6. Press the DIMM straight into the slot (press firmly) Make certain that the
locks above and below the DIMM snap inward into place (to remove a
DIMM, the locks must be released).
Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each DIMM that is being installed
7. To replace the side panel, line up the alignment arrows and slide the panel
backwards until the release button latches into place. Close the top cover.
8. Reinstall the interface cable(s) and power cord. Turn on the printer.

3.2 Hints and Guidelines for Configuration
This section describes where settings are stored. There is also a description of the
configuration of timers in combination with HP JetDirect cards or compatible
PrintServers.
3.2.1 HP JetDirect PrintServers
On these PrintServers, the settings are stored in the printer's non-volatile RAM
(NVRAM). Only those settings accessible from the IPDS web pages can be
changed. In order to browse the IPDS web pages, the host print queue will need
to be stopped and restarted after settings have been modified (on some systems,
e.g. PSF/6000 under AIX, the PPD connection is not established until a print job is
submitted to the queue).
If you cannot access the IPDS web pages, you may try to reach the web pages of
the PrintServer by browsing the base IP address in order to see its status.
In order to close down the TCP/IP connection properly, the timeout period of the
PrintServer must be longer than the inactive timeout period of the host. However,
the timeout period of the PrintServer, as well as the host's active timeout period
(the time the host will wait for a printer to reply) must be sufficiently large to
allow the printer to flush the paper pipeline.
300 seconds is recommended as a reasonable choice for the PrintServer timeout.
A somewhat lower value should be used for the host's inactive timeout.
Note: As all data go through port 9100, you cannot browse the web pages as the
printer is printing and vice versa.

5 PSF/MVS AFP Printing Using TCP/IP
This chapter provides information on how to create MVS definitions for printing
from PSF/MVS via TCP/IP. The following topics are addressed:
JES printer statements
PSF Startup procedure
Once these parameters have been configured, and the basic TCP/IP installation of
the PrintServer (equipped with an IPDS DIMM) has been completed, direct AFP /
IPDS from PSF / MVS will be possible.
Requirements:
• PSF/MVS version 2 Release 2.0 with APAR OW15599.
• MVS Scheduler APAR OW12236 which supports the PRINTDEV IPADDR and
PORTNO keywords.
• IBM TCP/IP Version 3 Release 1, or higher, installed and configured on
MVS.
Co-requisite supported TCP/IP controller is also required (e.g. IBM 3172).
MTU size:
• The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of the IP packet for the MVS
system is recommended to be set up to 2000.
Note: The MTU size should not exceed the maximum size sent through the
control unit. Failure may lead to transmission problems.

Using IP address 192.0.110.21 and port number 5001
The IP address of the PrintServer (IPDS) should be programmed in the IPADDR
statement. The PORTNO 5001 is the default port number of the first IPDS port on
27
Page 28
the PrintServerfor the MPI Tech EIO interface (IPDS). Use a value of 91005002
to address the second IPDS port if required.for any other interface.

7.2 IPDS messages on printout
• IPDS DIMM ERROR
Explanation:
A hardware error is detected on the IPDS DIMM.
The IPDS DIMM initialization will now be stopped.
You will not be able to print IPDS from this DIMM.
Contact your supplier for further information.
• The IPDS personality was unable to allocate sufficient memory.
• The IPDS personality may not work properly until more RAM is
installed.
• The IPDS personality requires at least 8 MB RAM installed in total.
Explanation:
More RAM has to be installed in the printer.
The recommended memory configuration is as follows:
Requirement Minimum
installed
memory
A4/Letter simplex 8 MB 8 MB 12 MB
Generally spoken: The more installed memory, the better performance. Beyond
24 MB of installed memory you should not be able to increase performance
noticeably by adding more memory.
• A checksum error is detected in the IPDS DIMM
Explanation:
The IPDS initialization will now be stopped.
You will not be able to print IPDS from this DIMM.
Contact your supplier for further information.
