The information in this guide applies to the following printers and Multifunction Products (MFPs). · · · · · · · · Lexmark C770, C772, C780, C782, C920, C935 (IPDS color and monochrome printing, SCS monochrome printing only) Lexmark T640, T642,T644 Lexmark W840 Lexmark X644e MFP, X646e MFP Lexmark X646ef MFP Lexmark X782e MFP Lexmark X850e MFP, X852e MFP, X854e MFP Lexmark X940e MFP, X945e MFP (IPDS color and monochrome printing, SCS monochrome printing only) Unless otherwise specified, in the rest of this guide the term "printer" covers both printers and MFPs. To print IPDS jobs, the printer must have the optional Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe installed, a minimum of 64 MB of user memory (DRAM), and one of the following: · · · · Standard Network (Ethernet connection integrated into printer system board on selected printer models). a MarkNet internal LAN print server (optional card providing Ethernet or Fiber network connection). Lexmark 802.11g Wireless Print Adapter a Coax/Twinax Adapter for SCS option card for connection to a host via coax or twinax cables. Refer to "Coax/Twinax Adapter for SCS Support" [page 53] for a list of printers which support this adapter. To install the printer, determine the host, host software, and type of printer connection you will be using. Find the appropriate chapter in the Table of Contents and follow the steps to configure the host and printer. 4 IPDS Printer and Host Setup Guide Equipment Requirements And Specifications Customer Support If you cannot find answers in this guide about using the IPDS emulation, or require firmware updates, please contact your point of purchase, your local Lexmark office, or check the Lexmark support web site at http://support.lexmark.com. 5 IPDS Printer and Host Setup Guide AS/400 and iSeries LAN Printing Using the Printer Standard Network Port or MarkNet Internal Print Server 1. AS/400 and iSeries LAN Printing Using the Printer Standard Network Port or MarkNet Internal Print Server · PSF/400 V3R1-R3, V3R6-R7, V4R1-R5, V5R1-R4, or greater With the optional Card for IPDS/SCS/TNe and a LAN print server installed, the printer can receive, process, and print AFP/IPDS print jobs over TCP/IP from the following IBM software: The information below will lead you through the steps for setting up the AS/400, or iSeries, and the printer to print IPDS jobs over a LAN. The printer must be configured with a Standard Network port or MarkNet internal LAN print server. Refer to the IPDS User's Guide for detailed instructions on using the control panel to select and change option settings. Steps The following steps must be completed to begin printing IPDS jobs. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Choose a Printer Port for Use in the Device Description Create a PSFCFG Create a Printer Device Description Configure the Printer's Print Server TCP/IP Settings Configure the Printer's Network Job Timeout Select the IPDS Emulation, Bar Code Size, Host Resolution, and Fax Interrupt Settings Verify IPDS Printing Troubleshooting Step 1 Choose a Printer Port for Use in the Device Description Several printer ports are available for receiving IPDS jobs when using the printer Standard Network port or the MarkNet internal LAN print server. The printer port will be used in one of the following steps. Port descriptions: · Port 5001 - This is the recommended port selection for receiving IPDS jobs. This port should only be used for receiving IPDS jobs. The printer's Network Job Timeout and Job Buffering settings are automatically set to the correct settings for receiving IPDS jobs on this port. This port is recommended when a significant performance impact is seen when downloading IPDS resources for each job. With the proper configuration settings on the host and printer, the IPDS resources can be saved in the printer memory while the printer is printing non-IPDS jobs. Port 9100 - This port can receive PCL, Postscript, or IPDS jobs. In order to print IPDS jobs, the printer's Network Job Timeout must be manually set to "0" (or to "Disable") and Job Buffering must be manually set to "OFF". These settings also affect printing of non-IPDS jobs. · How to find the Network Job Timeout Option (which is also known as End-of-Job Timeout) on the control panel: On printers, press MENU and then select Settings > Setup Menu > Timeouts > Network Job Timeout. On MFPs, touch Menus and then select Settings > General Settings > Timeouts > Network Job Timeout. 6 IPDS Printer and Host Setup Guide AS/400 and iSeries LAN Printing Using the Printer Standard Network Port or MarkNet Internal Print Server How to find Job Buffering on the control panel: Job Buffering is only visible as a menu setting if there is a hard disk installed in the printer. Press MENU or touch Menus and then select Network/Ports > Standard Network > Job Buffering. · Port 9600 - This port should only be used for receiving IPDS jobs. The printer's Network Job Timeout setting is automatically set to the correct setting for receiving IPDS jobs on this port. This port is only provided for compatibility with some older printers. Port 5001 is the recommended port for printing IPDS jobs. Step 2 Note: Create a PSFCFG Examples showing parameters displayed on an AS/400 may be different than the parameters displayed on your system. Examples are shown with V5R2 parameters. Define a PSF configuration object for your printer using CRTPSFCFG. The PSFCFG object defined in this step is referenced in the printer device description (CRTDEVPRT). More than one printer can use this object. Below is an example of a PSF configuration. The parameters in bold are the parameters which must be changed for printing IPDS jobs.

Selecting *YES may change the fonts downloaded from the host and change paper jam recovery action between the host and printer. Note 2: Refer to "Printer and Host Timeout Values" [page 50] for information on selecting the Release Timer value. Note 3: Use outline fonts controls the type of fonts downloaded to the printer. When set to *YES, outline fonts are downloaded to the printer. When set to *NO, raster fonts are downloaded to the printer. When the outline or raster fonts are marked eligible for capture on the host, the host will send fonts which can be captured at the printer. Note 4: Capture host fonts at printer must be set to *YES and fonts must be marked eligible to be captured before the host will send fonts which can be captured to the printer. Refer to the IPDS Emulation User's Guide for additional information on capturing fonts.
