  • Page 71: Ipds Job Cancel

    5 IPDS Job Cancel The IPDS cancel function allows IPDS jobs to be canceled at the printer. Selecting a specific job to cancel is difficult when several small jobs are queued to print from the host. The job being printed may not be the job which is canceled. The cancel request is returned to the host on the earliest possible page boundary.

  • Page 72: Aborting A Cancel Request

    The host cancels the job and the next job on the host queue will be sent to the printer. (Note: The actual host action is dependent on host settings.) IPDS resources are saved by the printer unless the host requests deletion of these resources.

  • Page 73: Remote Configuration Of Printer Ipds Settings

    Most IPDS emulation settings stored in the printer (the default IPDS settings) can be changed remotely by sending a special IPDS text job to the printer. This method of changing settings is useful during printer installation to set the IPDS option settings to the values recommended by your system administrator.

  • Page 74: Remote Configuration Using An Ipds Text Job

    The option and value strings are entered at the host as normal text and are sent to the printer like any other IPDS text job. Valid value strings change the IPDS option value and store the new value as a permanent IPDS option setting.

  • Page 75: As/400 Recommended Procedure

    6.3.1 AS/400 Recommended Procedure The IPDS session must be closed after the text job has been sent to the printer to activate the new IPDS option settings. The changes take effect during the next established IPDS session. The following steps are recommended to remotely change the printer IPDS option settings.

  • Page 76: Mainframe Recommended Procedure

    6.3.2 Mainframe Recommended Procedure The IPDS session must be closed after the text job has been sent to the printer to activate the new IPDS default settings. The changes take effect during the next established IPDS session. Changing some options may generate a reset message or a configuration change message on the host when restarting from a timed out session.

  • Page 77: Lead-In String

    Both lower and upper case letters can be used for options and values. The case of each option or value does not have to match the operator panel. 6.3.3.1 Lead-in String The text string below is the Lead-in string which causes the IPDS emulation to enter an IPDS set option mode.

  • Page 78: Entering Option Name And Value Settings

    The text for specifying Option Name and Value Settings is based on the text appearing in the printer operator panel. Most option names are unique and occur only once. For these options it is possible to use the syntax shown below.

  • Page 87: Configuring A Marknet Pro External Print Server

    To enable IPDS printing with the MarkNet Pro several settings must be changed. Changes to MarkNet Pro settings can be made using the appropriate network printer utilities. For more information on how to change these settings, refer to your Lexmark MarkNet Pro network adapter manual which came with your print server.

  • Page 88: Setting The Marknet Pro Job Timeout

    You may set the MarkNet Pro Job Timeout value to a value greater than the host "release timer" value. Errors are very likely to occur when the printer requires user intervention and the intervention is not cleared before the timeout occurs.

  • Page 89: Configuring A Marknet Xle External Print Server

    Replace the adapter’s switch cover. For more information, see Lexmark’s Network Printer Utility Guide.

    Busy and displays IPDS even when no IPDS jobs are printing. Solution: The host still has control of the printer. You need to adjust the Adapter for SCS timeout, the end-of-job timeout on your network adapter, the printer IPDS Timeout value, the host port value, or the appropriate timer/timeout value on your IPDS host.
  • Page 134 The recommended setting for the MarkNet internal print server, MarkNet Pro external print server, or MarkNet XLe end-of-job-timeout is 0 (disabled). This allows the host timer/timeout value or printer IPDS Timeout value (when using a MarkNet internal print server only) to control when print jobs from another protocol, interface, server, or host can be started.
  • Page 135 IPDS Timeout = Host Controlled (when using MarkNet internal print server, MarkNet Pro external print server, or MarkNet XLe) Note: The printer defaults to Host Controlled when receiving IPDS jobs on port 9100 or 9102. If you selected any other IPDS Timeout value, go to IPDS Timeout = 15 seconds to 10 minutes on page 136.

  • Page 137 The message 36 Resolution Reduced displays and the printer stops. Solution: The printer memory is full and the page cannot be printed at the selected IPDS Resolution. Press Go and the page is printed at a lower resolution. If this is a constant problem and you want to print at the higher resolution, you need to add more memory to the printer.
  • Page 138 C. Recommended memory on page 171. Problem: I can’t cancel an IPDS job from the printer operator panel. When I try to enter the menus with <Menu or Menu>, I get the message Menus Disabled. Solution: You must be in an IPDS session (IPDS displayed on the front panel) to cancel an IPDS job.
  • Page 139 Problem: Sometimes the messages (38I Memory Full or Memory Full) display on the printer operator panel and the connection with the printer is lost. What do these messages mean?

  • Page 142 Solution: The IPDS memory has been corrupted. Power the printer OFF and then ON. 12. Problem: The IPDS host stops when it attempts to connect to the printer when using the MarkNet XLe adapter. Solution: The MarkNet adapter is not establishing a bi-directional connection with the printer.
  • Page 143 I get the message Recycle PWR to activate value. Solution: A host session was established and was idle when you changed settings. The settings changed had already been reported to the host. Power the printer OFF then ON. This causes the host to request the new printer settings.
  • Page 144 The message Resources Lost appears on the display before an IPDS job prints. Solution: IPDS resources were deleted by the printer. Try to determine what is causing the resources to be deleted. See the section 4.3.14 IPDS Timeout on page 40 for additional information.
