IPDS Printer and Host Setup Guide AS/400 and iSeries LAN Printing Using the Printer Standard Network Port or MarkNet Internal Print Server
1. AS/400 and iSeries LAN Printing Using the Printer
Standard Network Port or MarkNet Internal Print
Server
With the optional Card for IPDS/SCS/TNe 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, 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 Configure the Printer's Network Job Timeout
6 Select the IPDS Emulation, Bar Code Size, Host Resolution, and Fax Interrupt Settings
7 Verify IPDS Printing
8 Troubleshooting
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 should only be
used for receiving IPDS jobs. The printer's Network Job Timeout and Job Buffering settings are
automatically set to the correct settings for receiving IPDS jobs on this port. This port is recommended
when a significant performance impact is seen when downloading IPDS resources for each job. With
the proper configuration settings on the host and printer, the IPDS resources can be saved in the printer
memory while the printer is printing non-IPDS jobs.
• Port 9100 - This port can receive PCL, Postscript, or IPDS jobs. In order to print IPDS jobs, the printer's
Network Job Timeout must be manually set to "0" (or to "Disable") and Job Buffering must be
manually set to "OFF". These settings also affect printing of non-IPDS jobs.
How to find the Network Job Timeout Option (which is also known as End-of-Job Timeout) on the control
panel: On printers, press MENU and then select Settings > Setup Menu > Timeouts > Network Job
Timeout. On MFPs, touch Menus and then select Settings > General Settings > Timeouts > Network Job
Timeout.
