About This Guide

This manual contains the IPDS* configuration menu, lists the command sets and provides error messages.

This manual assumes you are familiar with IPDS and programming in IPDS. This book is not a tutorial, it does not explain how to program nor does it describe which applications support which commands. For detailed information, refer to the list below.

Chapter 1 Compatible System Attachments

Compatible System Attachments

With a twinax interface, you can attach your IPDS-compatible printer to the following systems:

• System/36 (SSP 5.1 plus IPDS PRPQ P84094)

• System/38 (with Rel. 8 System/38 Control Program Facility)

• AS/400 processor

• 5294/5394/5494 control units

(The coax IPDS emulation is currently not used.)

IPDS characteristics available on each of the above attachments are not completely uniform, but the emulation printers are as fully functional on these attachment as provided by the host vendor.

Defining IPDS

IPDS is both a protocol and a printer mode. The two terms do same thing.

not

mean the

The Protocol

A protocol is a set of rules governing the exchange of information between the printer and the host computer. The rules are codes that manipulate and print data and allow for machine-to-machine communication. A printer and the host computer must use the same protocol.

IPDS is the protocol for your printer. Refer to your IBM documentation for details about commands, etc.

The printer uses EBCDIC character codes to print text, numbers, and punctuation. Some EBCDIC characters, singly and in groups, are used as control codes. Control codes instruct the printer to perform specific functions.

The Printer Environment

The printer operates under “IPDS” (text and graphics) mode. In the IPDS mode, the data stream has special sequences to denote IPDS commands.

Emulations and Data Streams

Your IPDS printer emulates only IBM 3816 or 4028 and scalable AGFA fonts.

Twinax printers always use IPDS data streams for sending commands. Even a simple job, such as a screen print, is IPDS data in a twinax attachment. Because the printer definition on a twinax host is either set automatically (by auto configuration) or manually, the printer type is already known.

NOTE: Sending a non-IPDS data stream to an IPDS printer and vise versa

will result in a hung spool file or writer.

2 Configuring with IPDS

Commands

Overview

This chapter summarizes IPDS, lists control codes, and lists error messages. For detailed information, refer to “Sources of Useful IBM Information” on page 7.

The IPDS Emulation

IPDS consists of the following command sets, which are defined in more detail beginning on page 13.

The Command Sets

Text This set contains the commands used to present text

information on a page, on a page segment, or on an overlay.

IM Image The commands for this functional area output raster

image data on a page, a page segment, or on an overlay.

IO Image Not available for impact IPDS printers.

Graphics To present vector graphics on a page, a page segment or

on an overlay, use the commands in this set.

Bar Code This set contains the commands and data controls

needed to produce bar codes.

Page Segment The commands used to store and present page

segments that contain text, graphics, image, and bar code information.

Overlay The commands used to store and present overlays that

contain text, graphics, image, and bar code information.

Device Control This set contains commands that let you set up a page

and manage printer-host communication.

Chapter 2 The IPDS Emulation

The Data Towers

Most of the IPDS commands contain data fields. The type of data is categorized into the following data towers:

Text The Presentation Text Object Content Architecture

IM Image The image data enables the printer to print images in a

IO Image This is not supported.

Graphics The Graphic Object Content Architecture (GOCA)

Bar Code The Bar Code Object Content Architecture* (BCOCA*)

(PTOCA) commands are a part of the text data tower. This information is necessary to print text in a page, a page segment, or an overlay.

page, a page segment, or an overlay.

commands are a part of the graphics data tower. This information is necessary to print images in a page, a page segment, or an overlay.

commands are a part of the bar code data tower. This information is necessary to print bar codes in a page, a page segment, or an overlay.

Some of the data towers contain only one level of commands; some contain two.

PTOCA, GOCA, and BCOCA are described in more detail in the IBM documentation.

The States

IPDS-capable printers are known as “state machines.” As the printer recognizes a specific command, it operates in the state identified with that command. Figure 1 shows the transition of the different states.

Home State The initial operating state. The printer returns to this state

after a page, an overlay, or a page segment has been sent.

Block States The printer establishes the processing conditions for a

data block to be accepted. There are three block states: IM image, graphics, and bar code.

Page State While printing a logical page, the printer is in the Page

State.

Overlay State This state permits overlay data blocks to be stored. An

overlay is a block of data that is frequently accessed. It can be a block of text, images, graphics, or bar codes. An overlay can be a predefined page or part of a page and is often used for forms.

Processing a Page

Page Segment

State Page segment data is stored when the printer is in this

state. A page segment is a frequently accessed resource; it can be a block of text, images, graphics, or bar codes. Page segments can be a part of an overlay.

Any state Some commands can be received in any state.

Figure 1. State Transition

Processing a Page

Your printer can print page by page or it can behave as a line printer. This section describes how the printer prints page by page. (The explains the two printing methods in more detail.)

Your IPDS-capable printer builds a page by gathering all the page descriptor commands and data blocks that are specified in the data stream.

Page descriptor commands instruct the printer to create and position a logical page, which rests within the perimeter of the physical page.

Chapter 2 The IPDS Emulation

Overlay

Block

Figure 2. Processing a Page

Blocks contain images, graphics, bar codes, coded fonts, and text. Each block is recognized by specific, functional commands. To print a bar code, for example, Bar Code commands must be in the data stream.

Physical Page (Medium Presentation Space)

Logical Page

Page Segment

As each type of data block is stored in memory, the printer moves from state to state. For example, when the printer is reading the Bar Code commands, it is in the bar code state.

Once all the data has been stored, the page can be closed with an End Page command and the printer, which is now in the Home State, is ready to print the page.

The Command Syntax

The commands on the following pages use this syntax:

Byte D6XX Flag CID Data Count

Byte Count A two-byte field. Specifies the length of the command.

D6XX A two-byte field. “D6” denotes an IPDS command; “XX” is

the hex code for the IPDS command.

Flag A one-byte field containing the IPDS command stream

flags. You can request an Acknowledgement Required response from the printer in this field.

CID Correlation ID. A two-byte field that identifies the

command. If an exception (error) occurs, the printer will respond with a Negative Acknowledge Reply and the CID associated with the command.

Data 0-32760 bytes if CID is present;

0-32762 bytes if CID is not present. This field contains parameters, orders, and data necessary for implementing the command.

The Text Commands

The following commands are used to present text blocks in a page, a page segment, or an overlay.

Load Equivalence (LE)

Byte D61D Flag CID Data Count

This command allows the printer to use a single suppression ID for more than one suppression pair.

Write Text (WT)

Byte D62D Flag CID Presentation Count Text Object;

Content Architecture control codes and character data

Use this command to send character data and controls to the printer. The data and controls can begin in one Write Text command chain and end in another Write Text command chain.

Controls are listed on the following pages. The first control is preceded by the escape sequence 2B D3. Subsequent controls will follow as long as the preceding code is a chained code.

416 93950 Courier Optional

420 93952 Courier Bold Standard

424 93951 Courier Italic Optional

428 93953 Courier Italic Bold Optional

The fonts listed in Table 2 as standard is available by default in every nonimpact build. The optional fonts are available as part of the Printronix Additional Font Diskettes.

NOTE: Download the optional fonts to the printer’s flash memory separately

to make them available for IPDS.

Additional fonts other than the fonts listed in Table 2 may be available in the future.

XOA – Request Resource List (RRL) Reply

All of the IPDS scalable fonts in the printer will be added to the XOA-RRL replies to report their availability to the host PSF. The IPDS scalable fonts will be reported in the RRL Resource Type specify a Font Width (FW) of X’0000’ to indicate that it is a scalable font.

Font Selection

The scalable fonts can be selected from the host similar to the resident bitmap fonts in the Global Resource ID (GRID) portion of the Load Font Equivalence command. The width of the font is specified in 1440ths of an inch in the Font Width bytes of the GRID. A Font Width of X’FFFF’ indicates that the width of the printer default font is used. The scalable fonts can be used within text, graphics, or bar code HRI data.

Chapter 2 The IPDS Emulation

Images

The physical page is the actual medium used, such as a continuous form or an 8 1/2 x 11 inch sheet of paper.

The logical page is mapped onto the physical page; you can set its size and position inside the physical page. The logical page contains the image blocks, text blocks, segment and overlay blocks. A block is an area where the image is mapped to.

The image presentation space contains the image that will be mapped to the block. The image presentation space contains the entire image.

An image block can be the same size, larger or smaller than the image presentation space.

The IM Image Command Set

The following commands are used to present image data (raster format) in a page, a page segment, or an overlay.

Write Image Control (WIC)

Byte D63D Flag CID Data Count

This command defines the following: the image presentation space size and resolution, the image block size, position and orientation on the logical page, and the mapping of the image presentation space into the image block. You can specify that the image presentation space fits into the image block or you can crop a portion of the presentation space and map that to the image block.

Write Image (WI)

This command is used to denote image data to be printed.

Graphics

Graphics contain line drawings, such as arcs and lines.

The area containing the entire drawing is called the graphics presentation space. Usually, only a part of the drawing will be printed. This part is referred to as the graphics presentation space window.

Graphics Presentation Space

Graphics

Byte D64D Flag CID Data Count

Graphics Presentation Space Window

To place the graphics presentation space window onto a logical page, it must be mapped to a graphics block on the logical page. This block can be the same size, larger, or smaller than the graphics presentation space.

When you map the window to the graphics block, you have three methods to choose from:

• Scale to fit mapping - The window will be the same size as the graphics

The Graphics Command Set

The following commands are used to present graphics in a page, a page segment, or an overlay.

Write Graphics Control (WGC)

Byte D684 Flag CID Graphics Area Count Position;

WGC specifies the graphics block position, size and orientation; it specifies the graphics presentation space window size and location inside the graphics presentation space; and it defines how the window will map into the graphics block.

Write Graphics (WG)

Graphics Output Control; Graphics Data Descriptor

Byte D685 Flag CID Begin Segment Count Introducer and

drawing orders

The WG command follows the Write Graphics Control command and contains information about the graphics presentation space. This data is referred to as drawing orders.

Bar Codes

Bar codes contain information that can be read by optical scanners and are widely used.

A bar code resides in a bar code presentation space, which is mapped to a bar code block that exists on the logical page. This block can be the same size, larger, or smaller than the bar code presentation space.

The entire bar code presentation space must be mapped to the bar code block; you cannot trim and cut any of the bar code presentation space.

The Bar Code Command Set

The following commands are used to present bar codes in a page, a page segment, or an overlay.

Write Bar Code Control (WBCC)

Byte D680 Flag CID Bar Code Area Count Position;

Bar Code Output Control; Bar Code Data Descriptor

Use this command to set the bar code block position, size, and orientation; to set the bar code presentation size; the bar code to be used; and to set how the bar code presentation space will map into the bar code block.

Write Bar Code (WBC)

Byte D681 Flag CID Data Count

This command sends Bar Code Object Content Architecture data to the printer and applies to only one bar code symbol. To print another bar code symbol, you must send another WBC command.

The following table displays the code and bar code type.

The Page Segment Command Set

The following commands are used to access printer data by name and merge on the logical page.

Begin Page Segment (BPS)

Byte D65F Flag CID Data Count

This command identifies the data following as data for a page segment.

Delete Page Segment (DPS)

Byte D66F Flag CID Data Count

DPS instructs the printer to delete one or all of the stored page segments.

Include Page Segment (IPS)

Byte D67F Flag CID Data Count

When you issue an IPS command, a stored page segment can be processed as if the printer had just received it.

The Overlay Command Set

Overlays contain data that is frequently accessed and can be stored by name for future use. You can create an overlay so that it fills the entire page or fills part of a page. The following overlay commands are used to access printer data by name and merge on the logical page.

Begin Overlay (BO)

Byte D6DF Flag CID Data Count

This command tells the printer to store the following parameters (including Logical Page Descriptor, Load Font Equivalence, and Load Equivalence) for an overlay and not to print immediately.

Delete Overlay (DO)

Byte D6EF Flag CID Data Count

The Delete Overlay command instructs the host to delete one or all of the stored overlays. The host can reuse the deleted overlay identification numbers for new overlays.

Include Overlay (IO)

Byte D67D Flag CID Data Count

Issue an Include Overlay command to place an overlay on a logical page.

The Device Control Commands

The following commands are used to set up the page format, to communicate control commands, and to oversee the acknowledge reply.

Apply Finishing Operations (AFO)

Byte D602 Flag CID Data Count

The Apply Finishing Operations (AFO) command is valid only in home state. It directs the printer to apply zero or more finishing operations to the current sheet and each copy of that sheet. The current sheet is the sheet in which the first copy of the next received page is printed. The operations are not applied to sheets after copies of the current sheet.

An AFO command completely replaces any previously sent AFO command for the current sheet.

Specific finishing operations are specified in Finishing Operation (X'85') triplets. If no triplets are specified, this command completely replaces any previously sent AFO command for the current sheet and is then treated as if it were a No Operation (NOP) command; this provides a reset function.

Chapter 2 The IPDS Emulation

Begin Page (BP)

Byte D6AF Flag CID Data Count

This command indicates the beginning of a page and causes the printer to enter the page state.

End

Byte D65D Flag CID Binary Data Count

This command notes the end of a block containing: an image, graphics, or bar codes.

End Page (EP)

Byte D6BF Flag CID Binary Data Count

This command notes the end of a page, a page segment, or an overlay and returns the printer to the home state.

Load Copy Control (LCC)

Byte D69F Flag CID Data Count

This command is effective only in the home state and controls the number of times you want to print the current logical page.

Load Font Equivalence (LFE)

Byte D63F Flag CID Data Count

This command is used to re-identify local font data IDs to host specified font resource IDs.

Load Page Descriptor (LPD)

Byte D6CF Flag CID Data Count

The LPD command sets the logical page's characteristics, such as the units for positioning text, the margins, and line spacing, etc.

Load Page Position (LPP)

Byte D66D Flag CID Data Count

The LPP command sets the position of the logical page on the physical page, which allows for any required offsetting.

The Device Control Commands

No Operation (NOP)

Byte D603 Flag CID Data Count

This command tells the printer to perform no operation.

Sense Type and Model (STM)

Byte D6E4 Flag CID Count

This command asks the printer to identify its capabilities. The printer responds with one or more Acknowledge Replies, which contain general information and command set vectors that identify supported IPDS function sets and subsets.

Sense Type and Model Acknowledge Reply
