  • Page 28: Psf Platforms

    You have several options for connecting your DocuPrint IPS printers to the host. Each platform determines how IBM’s Print Services Facility (PSF) program interacts with the DocuPrint IPS printer. PSF is a print driver and resource manager that resides on the host.

  • Page 29: Mainframe Connections

    Direct Bus and Tag The simplest connection format is the Direct Bus and Tag. For this solution, the printer is connected directly to the host via Bus and Tag cables. ESCON connection This format uses fiber optic cable and the ESCON protocol as the channel connection to the host.
  • Page 30 AFP SUMMARY Remote connection: channel extender For the channel extender connection, the printer is connected directly to the channel extension device. The channel extender is then connected to another channel extender through telecommunication lines. Finally, the upstream channel extender is connected to the System/370 or System/390 mainframe.
  • Page 31 AFP SUMMARY Remote connection: BARR/RJE Using the remote BARR/RJE connection, the printer is attached to a PC containing BARR software and hardware. The PC is connected to a Front End Processor (FEP) through telecommunication lines. The FEP is then attached to the System/370 or System/390 mainframe.

    Ring. The MAU connects the router, workstations, and printers to the Token Ring. Each device on the Token Ring (mainframe, control unit, router, workstation, printer) must have a Token Ring card installed in the device. The AS/400 Host is similar to the larger mainframe host types. On this platform, the PSF control functions are IPDS emitters only.
  • Page 33 IPDS Group 3 printers. The LU6.2 connection can be either SDLC or Token Ring. Because the IPDS protocol allows the printer to feed its status back to the host in real time, BARR/AFP does not spool the AFP data. Instead, jobs are printed as they are received from the host.

  • Page 45: Data Towers

    Towers and command sets During initialization, the IPDS command sets are communicated to PSF by the Acknowledge Reply to the ‘Obtain Printer Characteristics’ command. The IPS responds to PSF with the data tower and resource tower command sets. These command sets are part of the Device Control function set (DC1), which is composed of commands and an acknowledge protocol.

    To obtain optimal printer output quality, Xerox recommends that you use 300 dpi or pel resources. Note, however, that this recommendation does not apply to the DocuPrint 180 IPS because it uses the 600 by 2400 dpi enhanced resolution. IBM recommends that customers use outline fonts. Outline fonts are independent of printer resolution.

    PPFA is a batch utility that generates the page definitions and form definitions used in your AFP applications.

It also accepts data from word-processing and DTP programs for conversion to graphic files for the target printer. The images can be rotated, resolution changed, and re-scaled.

  • Page 59: Fonts

    Xerox recommends that you upgrade to the 300 pel font libraries since these fonts provide better print quality on most DocuPrint IPS printers. If you have a DocuPrint 180 IPS, however, you may continue to use the 240 dpi fonts since both the 240 and 300 dpi fonts print with a high print quality due to the enhanced resolution marking engine.

  • Page 60: Versus 300 Pel Libraries

    If you plan to use these fonts for printing to DocuPrint IPS printers, make sure that you use the 300 pel version for the best resolution quality. If you plan to use a DocuPrint 180 IPS, this recommendation does not apply.

  • Page 61: Custom Fonts

    As the coexistence of 240 pel and 300 pel printers grows, this will become less and less of an issue. Note: Note that this procedure does not apply to the DocuPrint 180 IPS because of its enhanced resolution marking engine.

  • Page 62: Page Segments

    You may need to recreate the image or special font to have an identical appearance on a 300 dpi printer. You may use a font or image editing tool to recreate the document at 300 dpi.

    DocuPrint IPS printer. Look at the document to decide if the print quality is as clear as you’d like it to be. If so, you may continue using the image without making any changes.

  • Page 64: Pixel Doubling

    This method accommodates for any rounding error. For more information on adding color to page segments and IM images, refer to Chapter 5 “Incorporating Xerox value-added features”. If you print applications that include images consisting of single-pel lines, the DocuPrint 4050 IPS or DocuPrint 4090 IPS printers automatically convert those single-pel lines to double-pel lines.

    Managing the System for your printer for specific directions on setting input configurations.) A tray loaded with media defined as simplex will cause the printer to print all sheets from that tray in simplex. A tray loaded with media defined as duplex will cause the system to print all pages fed from that tray as requested by the job, switching between simplex or duplex seamlessly.

    DocuPrint IPS printers: • for DocuPrint IPS printers and all other cut sheet printers (both IBM and Xerox), the origin is at the top left corner of a portrait page • for IBM 3800 printers, the origin is at the top left corner of the leading edge.
  • Page 67 Using 3800-compatible form definitions If you wish to print AFP resources that were originally created for a 3800 printer on a printer such as the 3900 or 3835, PSF uses the PRESENT and DIRECTION operands of the FORMDEF command to adjust the hardware origin to match that of the 3800 application.
  • Page 68 PSF to process the PRESENT and DIRECTION operands in the FormDef. Because PSF normally does not send these values to a cut sheet printer, such as the DocuPrint IPS printers, you must include N_UP 1 in your FormDefs to force this processing.

  • Page 69: Incorporating Xerox Value-Added Features

    Color mapping is also important when using an ink color that is not defined by IBM (for example, cardinal), or when using an IBM color call for which Xerox does not have an ink (for example, yellow). Note, however, that the color housing you have installed in the printer will determine which color palette actually is used.

    DocuPrint IPS systems. • On a DocuPrint 180 IPS, DocuPrint 4635 IPS, or DocuPrint 96 MICR, 4635 MICR, and 180 MICR IPS printer, when you print a job that has 600 pel full-page IOCA images only, you must turn off the banner page.

    6. PSF identifies and retrieves any necessary AFP resources stored on DASD. PSF then composes the data stream to IPDS. 7. PSF directs the output to the printer. The IPDS printer then prints the data. When PSF is finished, the job is purged from the JES queue.

    5. PSF identifies and retrieves any necessary AFP resources stored on DASD. 6. PSF directs the output to a printer. After PSF is finished, the job is purged from POWER. PSF/400 accepts MO:DCA-P data streams, as well as SCS data streams with DDS, IPDS, and line data.

    DASD. 6. PSF (ainbe) composes the data stream into IPDS and directs the output to a virtual printer, which in turn writes the data to a device driver on the IPDS printer. The PS/2 connection accepts ASCII, MO:DCA-P, OS/2 metafile, and PostScript 1 data streams.
