The Transaction section (optional)
Introduction to the 'Transaction' section
Introduction
When the printer contains the optional IPDS or PCL license for transaction printing,
the printer can be used both for document printing and transaction printing. Then you
can print typical transactional documents like invoices, salary slips or other variable data
streams. If you want to use the printer for transaction printing, you must first switch the
printer from the document printing mode to the transaction printing mode. This is only
possible when the list of 'Scheduled jobs' is empty. When the list of 'Scheduled jobs' is
empty, you can activate the transaction printing function on the operator panel and send
jobs from a server or mainframe. The 'Transaction' section on the operator panel contains
the settings that you need to prepare the printer for transaction printing.
The following information is described below.
