IPS Gateway User’s Guide (5/2002) 1-3
Getting started
IPS Gateway overview
IPS Gateway is a feature of the Document Services Printing (DocuSP)
system.
IPS Gateway enables the Xerox DocuPrint printer to print jobs received
from IBM host computers that use IBM’s PSF/AFP/IPDS. IPS Gateway
receives IPDS data, formats it as a PostScript print job, and submits it to
a print queue established on DocuSP.
IPS Gateway operates as a separate task under the SunOS/Solaris
operating system, receiving the IPDS data stream via TCP/IP or channel
connectivity.
Printer emulation
IPS Gateway emulates the IBM 3935 Advanced Function Printer.
Host environments
IPS Gateway operates in these IBM PSF operating system environments:
•AIX
•OS/2
•OS/390
• OS/400 (TCP/IP connectivity only)
•VM
•VSE
NOTE: Although PSF/VSE does not support TCP/IP directly, a
printing system with an intermediate device running PSF can attach
to a PSF/VSE system, and the intermediate device can furnish the
TCP/IP support for the printer.
Host connectivity options
IPS Gateway can receive data from a host in one of two ways:
• Through a channel card with bus and tag connectivity
• Through a Token Ring or Ethernet interface using TCP/IP
If you require host connectivity using either a channel or Token Ring
interface, contact your local Xerox representative to obtain the additional
hardware.
For more information on IBM host connectivity, refer to the IBM 3130,
3160, and 3935 Advanced Function Printers Attachment Configuration
Handbook.
Getting started
IPS Gateway User’s Guide (5/2002) 1-4
The IPDS data stream
All AFP resources (print data sets, page definitions, form definitions, page
segments, fonts, and overlays) supported by the emulated printer are
supported by IPS Gateway. Additionally, there are several IBM data
architectures supported within the AFP environment that are fully
supported by IPS Gateway, to the level supported by the emulated
printer’s capabilities:
• MO:DCA-P: Mixed Object Document Content Architecture for
Presentation
• PTOCA PT1 and PT2: Presentation Text Object Content Architecture
• IOCA: Image Object Content Architecture
• GOCA: Graphics Object Content Architecture
• BCOCA: Bar Code Object Content Architecture
Each of the data objects follow the same object rule of containing
delimited fields within the structure fields describing each object.
Gateway communications
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Gateway and TCP/IP
Socket Gateway connections are required for running IPS Gateway. Each
must be licensed and enabled in DocuSP.
PostScript Decomposer
The PostScript Decomposer is the module that enables PostScript jobs to
be printed. This must be licensed and enabled in DocuSP to run IPS
Gateway.
IPS Gateway graphical interface
IPS Gateway is a feature of DocuSP with a window similar in design to the
DocuSP window. IPS Gateway provides drop-down menus, tabs, and
icons. Windows, tabs, and menus are used for specifying print job
parameters, displaying messages, and performing system administration
and trace functions.
Display language
IPS Gateway is provided in four languages: English, French, German, and
Italian. You are prompted to choose the user interface (UI) language
during installation of the IPS Gateway software. To change the language,
you must reinstall the software.
IPS Gateway User’s Guide (5/2002) 1-5
Getting started
Processing considerations
Note the considerations in this section before installing and setting up IPS
Gateway.
Media selection
IPS Gateway allows you to map trays (specified by AFP/IPDS resources
within the host application) to the physical media available in the printer.
The Media Setup tab in IPS Gateway allows you to associate each logical
IPDS (host) tray with a physical media definition in the printer. See “Media
Setup tab” for instructions on defining and mapping media.
Spooling versus streaming queue
You can define the IPS Gateway queue as either a spooling queue or a
streaming queue. To determine the best setting for your printing
environment, review the sections below and the “Segmentation” section.
Spooling queue
A spooling queue completely spools an IPDS job from IPS Gateway to the
DocuSP queue before printing begins. This results in a delay between the
submission of the job and the printing of the first page. The delay may be
significant for large jobs.
To help improve processing and print time for large jobs sent to a spooled
queue, IPS Gateway provides the Segmentation option, which segments
large jobs into multiple smaller jobs.
For normal job processing, job segmentation should be disabled.
However, Xerox recommends using job segmentation when using a
spooled queue for any job over 500 pages. Although possible within the
software setup, segmentation to a streaming queue is not necessary
since pages are printed as soon as they are received.
Because only one streaming queue can be active at a given time
(depending on your other printing applications), you may elect to run IPS
Gateway to a spooled queue.
Streaming queue
A streaming queue prints pages as they are received, which results in
minimal delay between the time the job is submitted and when printing
begins.
Only one streaming queue can be active in DocuSP at a given time. If a
non-IPS Gateway streaming queue is active when IPS Gateway submits
a job to its streaming queue on DocuSP, IPS Gateway stops processing
and posts an “IPDS Not Ready” message until the other streaming queue
has completed.
Streaming offers a benefit of being more reliable in the area of IPDS job
recovery. See “IPDS job recovery” for more information.
Getting started
IPS Gateway User’s Guide (5/2002) 1-6
IPDS job recovery
In order to understand IPDS job recovery (the completion of an IPDS job
after a fault condition), it is important to understand that IPS Gateway
marks pages as committed/stacked once they are successfully written to
the DocuSP queue socket connection. If the segmentation feature is in use,
IPS Gateway marks all the pages in the segment as committed/stacked
once the last page in that segment is written to the socket. At this point, the
IPDS host considers the pages printed and DocuSP is responsible for
printing all pages in the job. The IPDS host software is responsible for
recovering up to the last page reported as stacked by IPS Gateway.
Therefore, the combination of host recovery and DocuSP recovery is
designed to ensure the integrity of each IPDS job when standard printer
problems (such as paper jams or supply shortages) occur.
If there is an unexpected or catastrophic error (such as a power failure,
operating system crash, or unrecoverable software problem) in either
DocuSP or IPS Gateway, IPDS job recovery depends on whether you are
using a spooled or streaming queue for printing IPS Gateway jobs.
Whether you are using spooling or streaming queues, jobs (or segments)
written in their entirety to the DocuSP queue are recoverable by DocuSP
after a DocuSP restart or system boot.
If an unexpected error occurs during the time that IPS Gateway is
processing a job and writing pages to the DocuSP queue socket, pages
written to a streaming queue will be recoverable by DocuSP. However,
when a spooling queue is in use, jobs or segments partially written to the
DocuSP queue are not recoverable.
In both cases, pages being processed by IPS Gateway but not yet written
to the DocuSP queue are recoverable from the host, which typically
resumes printing from the last checkpoint/restart page (see your PSF
documentation for more information).
Xerox recommends using a streaming queue without segmentation to
optimize IPDS job recovery.
IPS Gateway User’s Guide (5/2002) 1-7
Getting started
Segmentation
Before specifying job segmentation, review the job processing
considerations described below.
Spooled versus streaming queue
Segmentation is meant to be used with a spooling queue (not a streaming
queue). When using a spooled queue, IPS Gateway normally requires
that the entire IPDS data stream be received prior to processing and
releasing the data stream to the printer. Segmentation creates a series of
small jobs, allowing the printer to begin printing as soon as the specified
number of pages is received.
Although it is possible to specify segmentation for a streaming queue, it
is not necessary since a streaming queue provides shorter job processing
and print time, and segmentation lengthens the print time.
First In/First Out (FIFO)
The IPS Gateway installation software enables the DocuSP First In/First
Out (FIFO) feature. Enabling FIFO ensures that segmented jobs are
printed in segment sequence by the printer. However, if the printer uses
multiple print queues, all queues use FIFO. Therefore, if you segment a
large job into multiple smaller jobs, your output may be interleaved with
jobs submitted to other queues on the printer.
If the segment order of the output for a segmented job appears to be
incorrect, check the FIFO Job Scheduling setting. An intermittent DocuSP
problem has been observed where the FIFO Job Scheduling setting has
been changed to “off” for no apparent reason. See the DocuSP System
Guide for instructions to verify and change the FIFO Job Scheduling
setting.
Banner pages
If you enable job segmentation and your printer is set up to generate a
banner page for each job, then the printer generates a banner page each
time a segment of the job is printed. To prevent banner pages from
printing between each segment, turn off the Banner Page option; refer to
the DocuSP System Guide for instructions.
Offset stacking for unfinished jobs
If you enable job segmentation and your printer is set up to use the Offset
Stacking option for unfinished jobs, then the printer offsets the stack of
pages each time a segment of a job is printed. To prevent offset stacking
for each segment of a job, disable the Offset Stacking option. Refer to the
DocuSP System Guide for instructions.
NOTE: If you disable Offset Stacking, no jobs will be stacked offset.
Getting started
IPS Gateway User’s Guide (5/2002) 1-8
Customer job accounting
When using job segmentation, the printer tracks each segment as a
separate job in the Customer Accounting Log. For example, if you have a
5000 page job and specify a value of 50 in the Segmentation option, the
printer records 100 entries in the Customer Accounting Log.
If the Customer Accounting Log reaches the maximum log size value, the
oldest record is deleted for each new record added. The minimum log size
is 282 and the maximum size is 1000. The log is set to a default of 400
entries at DocuSP installation.
Because job segmentation can cause the log to fill up, you may want to
print or export the log data more frequently if your site uses the data for
billing purposes.
Before using segmentation, review the log size for your printer and
increase the value, if necessary, to help ensure that the log does not fill.
You must be logged onto the printer as System Administrator to make any
changes to the log size.
To change the log size:
Step 1. Select the Administration icon from the DocuSP window, then select the
Accounting tab.
Step 2. In the Accounting tab, select Options to display the Accounting Options
window.
Step 3. In the Logging area, specify the desired maximum log size.
Resolution and performance
IPS Gateway allows documents to be printed at either 300 or 600 dots per
inch (dpi) using the Output Resolution option. See “IPDS Setup tab” and
“Output Setup tab” for instructions on setting resolution.
Selecting 600 dpi output may improve print quality but may reduce system
throughput for complex applications that require scaling.
NOTE:
Ensure that the output resolution on the IPDS Setup tab in IPS
Gateway matches the resolution on the PostScript/PDF tab under the
queue properties in DocuSP. Otherwise, performance may be impacted.
Specifying margins
When migrating applications from other Xerox or IBM IPDS devices, there
may be small differences in page positioning due to differences in the
imaging hardware.
Use the Image Shift option in DocuSP to make small adjustments to the
page image position, for example to match pre-printed forms. Refer to the
DocuSP System Guide for information on shifting images.
IPS Gateway User’s Guide (5/2002) 1-9
Getting started
Gray scale printing
Gray scale printing through IPS Gateway may appear different than that
of the IBM IPDS printer being emulated.
Printer error reporting
All IPS Gateway error conditions (such as “Not authorized” and “IPDS Not
Ready”) and detected printer error conditions (such as “Out of Paper” and
“Printer Door Open”) are reported to the host as “printer-not-ready”
intervention required exceptions. For example, if the printer is in a “Printer
needs attention” state, IPS Gateway presents the printer-not-ready
exception to the host, preventing the host from sending additional pages
until the printer is operational again.
Specifying edge treatment
The DocuSP Edge Treatment option lightens the leading edge of a sheet
to prevent too much toner from being placed on that edge, which may
cause printer jams. The default setting for this option is On. If the IPDS
job being printed requires data on the leading edge of the page, you may
want to turn edge treatment off, provided the density of the output along
that edge is not excessive. For more information on the Edge Treatment
option, refer to the DocuSP System Guide.
To switch edge treatment off:
Step 1. Select Switches from the Printer menu on the DocuSP window.
Step 2. On the Switches window, select Off under Edge Treatment, then click OK
to close the window.
Step 3. Close the Printer Manager window.
