Psf/Aix Lan Printing Using An Internal Lan Print Server - Lexmark T656 Setup Manual

IPDS Printer and Host Setup Guide PSF/AIX LAN Printing Using an Internal LAN Print Server
4. PSF/AIX LAN Printing Using an Internal LAN Print
Server
With the optional Card for IPDS/SCS/TNe and an internal LAN print server installed, the printer can receive,
process, and print AFP/IPDS print jobs over TCP/IP from PSF/AIX
The information below will lead you through the steps for setting up PSF/AIX 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 Printing IPDS Jobs
2 Define the Printer to PSF/AIX
3 Configure the Printer's Print Server TCP/IP Settings
4 Select the IPDS Emulation, Bar Code Size, Host Resolution, and Fax Interrupt Settings
5 Verify IPDS Printing
6 Troubleshooting
Step 1 Choose a Printer Port for Printing IPDS Jobs
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 Define the Printer to PSF/AIX
To create a new IPDS printer definition in PSF/AIX perform the following actions:
a) Execute the command
Definition for TCP/IP attached printers.
b) Configure the following:
Connect TIMEOUT: Enter a name for the IPDS printer. This name will also be used for the print queue
associated with the printer.
Internet ADDRESS: Enter the host name (preferred) or IP address you have assigned to the MarkNet
adapter (e.g. 157.184.67.102). If you use the host name, PSF/AIX will resolve it into an IP address either
through the Host file or through a Domain Naming Service (DNS) Server.
