Defining A Logical Printer; Verifying The Installation - Xerox DocuPrint 100MX User Manual

Defining a logical printer

Verifying the installation

IPS Gateway User's Guide (5/2002)
Before using IPS Gateway to process IPDS data streams, the host must
have a logical printer defined for IPS Gateway with these requirements:
• For TCP/IP connectivity, the Internet Protocol (IP) address and port
number of the logical printer must match the IP address and port
number of the printer.
• For channel connectivity, the unit address specified for the host
printer definition must be a unique value and must match the unit
address specified for IPS Gateway. For MVS, the logical printer must
be defined as an AFP-type device.
For more information on setting up logical printers, refer to the IBM 3130,
3160, and 3935 Advanced Function Printers Attachment Configuration
Handbook.
These elements are in place upon a successful installation of the IPS
Gateway software and proper queue and printer setup:
• The IPS Gateway software resides in the /opt/XRXdocuprint
directory on the printer controller.
• A print queue is defined on DocuSP for your system. You can view this
queue by using the DocuSP Queue Manager. This print queue initially
has an Accept value of Yes and a Release value of Yes.
• Because of the IPS Gateway segmentation feature, which can be used
for large jobs, the installation software enables the FIFO feature.
Enabling FIFO ensures that segmented jobs are printed in segment
sequence by the printer. However, if the printer uses multiple print
queues, all queues use FIFO. For more information on the impact of the
FIFO feature, refer to the DocuSP System Guide.
To verify that the installation and initial setup were successful, print both
a host job and either the US Letter or A4 sample job. If both print
successfully, installation verification is complete.
In addition, if you installed the IBM AFP resident outline fonts, print the
scfont.trc sample job to verify that the fonts were loaded correctly.
