IPDS Printer and Host Setup Guide iSeries and AS/400 LAN Printing Using the Printer Standard Network Port or MarkNet Internal Print Server
1. iSeries and AS/400 LAN Printing Using the Printer
Standard Network Port or MarkNet Internal Print
Server
With the optional Card for IPDS 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:
• PSF/400 V3R1-R3, V3R6-R7, V4R1-R5, V5R1-R4, V6R1, or greater
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 Choose a Printer Port for Use in the Device Description
2 Create a PSFCFG
3 Create a Printer Device Description
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

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 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 PSFCFG
Note: Examples showing parameters displayed on an iSeries may be different than the parameters displayed
on your system. Examples are shown with V6R1 parameters.
