IPDS Printer and Host Setup Guide PSF/2 LAN Printing Using an Internal LAN Print Server
3. PSF/2 LAN Printing Using an Internal LAN Print
Server
With the optional Card for IPDS and an internal LAN print server installed, the printer can receive, process, and
print AFP/IPDS print jobs over TCP/IP directly from PSF/2.
The information below will lead you through the steps for setting up PSF/2 and the printer to print IPDS jobs
over a LAN. The printer must be configured with a Standard Network port or a 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.
Refer to the PSF/2 documentation if you need a description of how to connect PSF/2 to a host to receive AFP
and IPDS data.
Steps
The following steps must be completed to begin printing IPDS jobs.
1 Choose a Printer Port for Printing IPDS Jobs
2 Create a Printer in PSF/2
3 Enable Printer Sharing With the Job Interval Shutdown Timer
4 Configure the Printer's Print Server TCP/IP Settings
5 Select the IPDS Emulation, Bar Code Size, Host Resolution, and Fax Interrupt Settings
6 Verify IPDS Printing
7 Troubleshooting
Step 1 Choose a Printer Port for Printing IPDS Jobs
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 is only used for
receiving IPDS jobs.
• Port 9600 - This port is only provided for compatibility with some older printers.
NOTE: Some previous printers supported port 9100 for IPDS printing. If you are replacing a printer using port
9100, change to port 5001.
Step 2 Create a Printer in PSF/2
a) Start PSF/2 control panel by selecting the PSF/2 Folder and then selecting the PSF/2 Control Panel
icon.
