Page 21: Chapter 1. Using Multiple Network Adapter Cards
Chapter 1. Using Multiple Network Adapter Cards If you are concerned that your local area network (LAN) might not have enough bandwidth to handle the additional traffic that installing additional printers can create, you can create a secondary network that is essentially dedicated to driving printers.

Page 23: Chapter 2. Selecting A Type Of Actual Destination
Chapter 2. Selecting a type of actual destination Once you have decided how many logical destinations, queues, and actual destinations you want to use and how to configure them, you need to determine which kind of actual destinations to create. In InfoPrint Manager for Windows, there are four basic types of actual destinations: PSF printers, Passthrough printers, BSD printers, and IPP printers.
Page 24: Mvs Download, Dpf, Or A Combination Of Pc-Based Applications And Host Systems
For example, an advertising firm is installing InfoPrint Manager for Windows to manage printing for its 1,200 employees. The company has 450 PCL and ® PostScript printers that are between one and seven years old, and about 20 printers that are more than seven years old. They have recently purchased 5 PCL printers that are also enabled to use the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP).
Page 25: Psf Attachment Types
PSF attachment types PSF destinations are further divided by attachment type. See this table for information about choosing an attachment type. Table 3. PSF attachment types If you are sending IPDS PCL or PPDS PCL or PPDS this data stream to the printer: over the TCP/IP over the TCP/IP...

Page 27: Chapter 3. Managed Ipds Dialog Support
Chapter 3. Managed IPDS Dialog support The Managed IPDS Dialog (MID) support enables additional sharing capabilities for specific printers. Current sharing of a print device is based on the setting of an inactivity timer. MID support overcomes these current limitations: v Release for sharing requires physical intervention to disconnect the print device, and the PSF host must re-acquire the TCP/IP connection to process additional print requests.
Page 28 v Your print device must be capable of supporting MID. Contact your InfoPrint representative if you are not sure of your print device capability. v If you want incoming non-IPDS print requests to be intermingled with IPDS print requests, it is suggested that you maintain control over the print mechanism rather than activate MID.
Page 29: Chapter 4. Using The Internet Printing Protocol (Ipp) With Infoprint Manager
Chapter 4. Using the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) with InfoPrint Manager The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is an application protocol that uses the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to allow you to print your documents to any IPP-enabled printer whose web address (or Uniform Resource Identifier-URI) you know.
Page 30 2. Verify that the gateway is working. Open your Internet browser and enter this web address, replacing serverhostname with the DNS hostname of the system that InfoPrint Manager is installed on: http://serverhostname:631/printers Note: If you do not have a DNS name server running on your network, replace serverhostname with the dotted-decimal IP address of the system that InfoPrint Manager is installed on instead.
Page 31: Chapter 5. Configuring Media
Chapter 5. Configuring media This section describes how to create, configure, and manage media. Use the InfoPrint Manager Administration Interface to complete these tasks. Determining the media that are in the servers You can use the InfoPrint Manager Administration Interface to show the media in the servers being monitored.
Page 32: Viewing Or Changing Attributes Of A Medium

Page 33: Chapter 6. Using Infoprint Manager Notifications
Chapter 6. Using InfoPrint Manager notifications InfoPrint Manager can detect events (such as job completed or destination needs attention) as they occur, generate messages about those events, and deliver the messages to users who need the information. For example, users can receive messages about jobs they submit, operators can be notified about InfoPrint objects that require their attention, and administrators can be notified if someone makes a configuration change.
Page 34: Event Identifiers
v If an administrator likes to use InfoPrint Manager Notifications while he's at work, and wants to keep a more permanent record of how often some events occur, he can set up two entries. One delivers messages to the InfoPrint Manager Notifications client and one writes certain messages into a file that he can check periodically.
Page 35: Infoprint Notification Delivery Method Characteristics

InfoPrint notification delivery method characteristics (continued) Delivery Method Description Delivery address file-add-to Adds the message to the end of The directory path and name the file you specify in the of the file that you want to delivery address. If the file does write your notification not exist, InfoPrint Manager will messages in.
Page 37 2. Select the Advanced tab, and click Environment Variables. 3. Click one of the variables listed under System Variables to signal that you want to create a system variable. The variable and its value will appear in the fields at the bottom of the dialog. 4.
Page 38: Using The 'Exit' Delivery Method
Using the 'exit' delivery method The exit delivery method lets you set up automatic responses to system events beyond just sending a message. When you set the delivery method for a given event to exit, you use the delivery address to specify the explicit path to a script or program on your system.
Page 39: Default Notification Profile Settings
submitters receive messages about their print jobs; the administrator receives messages about destinations and servers that he or she created. The default delivery method is message, so the notifications are sent to the InfoPrint Manager Notification client on the system that the person used to create the object. Table 5.
Page 40: Using Notification Profiles With Default Jobs
Using notification profiles with default jobs When someone submits a print job, InfoPrint Manager sends messages about that job based on a default notification profile. As a result, the delivery method is message, the delivery address is "the user ID of the person who submitted the job @ the address of the system the job was submitted from,"...
Page 41: For Logical Destinations
For logical destinations The only way to change a notification profile for a logical destination is to use the pdset command. The procedures below provide examples of some common modifications you might want to make. You can use these procedures to change the notification profiles for other InfoPrint objects as well, but you might find it easier to use the properties notebooks in the InfoPrint Manager Administration GUI.
Page 42: Adding Or Modifying Events Or Users In A Notification Profile
The notification profile will be displayed. Note: If you have messages about a particular object sent to more than one person, the notification profile will display multiple entries, one for each person. Adding or modifying events or users in a notification profile To add or remove events in the notification profile for a particular delivery address, or to add another entry to the notification profile so that messages will be sent to another address as well, do this procedure:...
Page 43: Removing Users From A Notification Profile
4. Repeat the process for other users and objects. Example The default notification profile for queues is set to send you messages when the queue-backlogged, object-cleaned, and object-deleted events occur. You need to change the notification profile for the print queue printer1-q so that you receive messages when the queue-no-longer-backlogged and queue-state-changed events occur as well.
Page 44: Changing The Delivery Method
Example You and two other people currently receive messages about the logical destination printer1-ld. You do not want to receive them any longer. You view the notification profile, and see these three entries: printer1-ld: notification-profile= {event-identifiers = object-cleaned object-deleted delivery-method = message delivery-address = “admin@desk1.office.com”...
Page 45: Getting Help For Notification Messages
printer1-q: notification-profile={event-identifiers = object-cleaned object-deleted queue-backlogged delivery-method = message delivery-address = “admin@desk1.office.com” locale = en_US} Enter this command to add another entry to the notification profile with a different delivery method and delivery address. pdset -c queue -x “notification-profile+={event-identifiers=object-cleaned object-deleted queue-backlogged delivery-method=electronic-mail delivery-address=”admin@mycompany.com“...
Page 46 destination, you can use the Notification tab of the properties notebook. To change the value for a queue, use the pdset command. The messages that the notify-operator attribute delivers are not standard error messages like the ones you receive when you use a full notification profile. Instead, you write the messages that you want to send and specify them as attributes of jobs when you submit them.
Page 47: Chapter 7. Managing Security
Chapter 7. Managing security InfoPrint Manager security is a feature that you administer through the InfoPrint Manager Management Console. It lets you protect your printing system by associating an Access Control List (ACL) with an InfoPrint object or operation. An ACL is the list of users and groups who have permission to do something to or with an object, and what type of permission that is.
Page 48 ACLs applied only to them. Or you can do both: protect all objects by using operation-level ACLs for some operations, and limit access to subsets of objects by using object-level ACLs. For operations, there is only one level of permission: read. If a user has read permission, he can perform that action;...
Page 49: Security Groups
Security groups No matter what size organization you work in, manually adding every user to every ACL can be a time-consuming process. To reduce some of the work, you can create security groups, groups of users who need to have the same levels of permission for the same objects.
Page 50: Identifying Users And Groups: Wildcarding
Identifying users and groups: wildcarding When you add users to ACLs or Security groups, you identify them by their user ID and the computer that they work on in this format: username@computername. The permissions you assign will only apply when that person accesses InfoPrint Manager from that workstation.
Page 51: Chapter 8. Customizing Error Logs In The Infoprint Manager Windows Server
Chapter 8. Customizing error logs in the InfoPrint Manager Windows server InfoPrint Manager provides three configuration files for various InfoPrint Manager servers and processes: 1. spl_error.cfg for the InfoPrint Manager server error log. 2. notifyd_error.cfg for the Notification server error log. 3.
Page 52: Customizing A Notification Server Error Log

Page 55: Chapter 9. Monitoring Disk Use
Chapter 9. Monitoring disk use InfoPrint Manager includes support to help you monitor disk usage. The InfoPrint Manager server polls critical disks at regularly scheduled intervals, and it increases the polling as the usage increases. Initially, the disk is polled for usage every 16 minutes.
Page 56: Adjusting Your Server Notification Profile For Disk Usage
Adjusting your server notification profile for disk usage The InfoPrint Manager server notification profile uses the out-of-disk-space event as the default, so that when your disk usage reaches 100%, this event is generated. You can modify the server notification profile to add the disk-space-low event. However, the messages from the disk usage monitoring are always logged;...
Page 57: Chapter 10. Administering Your Infoprint Manager Server Using A Windows Terminal Server Client
Chapter 10. Administering your InfoPrint Manager server using a Windows Terminal Server client While you can do most administrative tasks using the InfoPrint Manager Administration GUI, there are a few that you must do using the Management Console. However, since the Management Console must reside on the system that your InfoPrint Manager server is installed on, performing those tasks can be inconvenient.
Page 58 9. Follow the instructions in the wizard to install the client. When you finish the wizard, Terminal Server/Services Client will be added to your Start menu. 10. Start the client by selecting Start → Programs → Terminal Services Client → Terminal Services Client.
Page 59: Chapter 11. Changing The Server Hostname And Ip Address
Chapter 11. Changing the server hostname and IP address Use this procedure to change the hostname of the system that your InfoPrint Manager server runs on. Note: 1. If you have changed the hostname/IP address on the system and already restarted the system, the InfoPrint Manager service will not be able to start and your InfoPrint GUIs will not function properly.
Page 60: Changing The Hostname Of A Non-Namespace Server
Note: If you have already changed the hostname/IP address of your system, you do not have to change them again. Continue with step 4. 4. In the Management Console, click Edit → Changed Hostname. 5. In the Changed Hostname dialog, enter the new hostname. Names are case-sensitive.
Page 61: Changing Only The Server Ip Address
9. Clear the namespace by issuing the clrfstns /var/pddir/default_cell command. 10. Create the shared namespace by issuing the crtfstns /var/pddir/default_cell command. 11. Start the InfoPrint Manager for AIX server. 12. Start the InfoPrint Manager for Windows non-namespace server. Changing only the server IP address If you are only changing the IP address and you have updated your system name resolution so that the old name resolves to the new IP address, InfoPrint Manager will be reset to use the new IP address with the old hostname when you restart the...

Page 67: Chapter 13. Working With Snmp Printers
Chapter 13. Working with SNMP printers SNMP support InfoPrint Manager supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) both version V1 and V3. To use SNMP, you must set the use-snmp actual destination attribute to true. Note: If the destination-tcpip-internet-address actual destination attribute is set, the use-snmp actual destination attribute is set to true by default.
Page 68: Detecting, Reporting, And Recovering From Printer Problems
2. Make sure the printer is connected to the network. The actual destination attributes that the server can smart-default are: v destination-model v input-trays-medium (also smart-defaults the attributes input-trays-supported and media-ready) v media-ready v media-supported v output-bin-numbers (also smart-defaults the attribute output-bins-supported) v plexes-supported v psf-tray-characteristics (also smart-defaults the attributes input-trays-supported and media-ready)

v Printer waste full v Output bin full v Output bin missing v Fuser under temp v Printer supply low v Printer waste almost full v Media low v Moving offline v Moving online v Output bin near full v Warmup Note: Not all printers report all these conditions.
Page 70: Changing Device Information
v device-media-supported v device-model v device-op-panel-locked v device-output-bins v device-printer-name v device-ready-media v device-serial-number v device-state v device-version This is the list of settable device-specific actual destination attributes: v device-contact v device-location Note: 1. Not all printers report all these attributes. 2.
Page 71: Setting Up And Using Snmp
From the Device Information window in the InfoPrint Manager Administration GUI, you can reset the specific device, take it offline, or put it online. You can also change the contact or location information. You use the pddeviceop command to reset a specific device, take it offline, put it online, as well as lock and unlock the operation panel for the specific device.
Page 72: Using The Infoprint Manager Administration Interface
3. Check the actual destination attribute snmp-active. If it is “true”, the printer works with SNMP. Using the InfoPrint Manager Administration Interface To use the InfoPrint Manager Administration Interface to check and set the attributes: 1. From the menu bar, select Printer or Server, as appropriate. 2.

printer. If the printer is turned off or not connected to the network, it might take a long time before the printer times out, which delays the response to your query. If this is a problem, you can use the pdls command with the when=now attribute to return the current information instead of querying the printer MIB.
Page 75: Chapter 14. Creating And Managing Resource-Context Objects
Chapter 14. Creating and managing resource-context objects Resource-context objects identify the locations of different types of Advanced ™ Function Presentation (AFP) resources that jobs sent to PSF physical printers can reference. Resource-context objects let you encapsulate the directory path name in one place.

Note: Only one record can reside in the buffer at any time. eof (Byte 22) An end-of-file (eof) indicator. This indicator is a one-byte character code that specifies whether an eof condition has been encountered. When eof is signaled (eof value='Y'), the last record has already been presented to the input exit, and the input file has been closed.

The buffer is located in storage allocated by the line-data transform, but the exit program is allowed to modify the output record. recordln (Bytes 13–14) Specifies the length, in bytes, of the output record. If the output record is modified, this parameter must also be updated to reflect the actual length of the record.
Page 106 This example contains a sample C language header that describes the control block passed to the exit program: /*********************************************************************/ /* RESEXIT STRUCTURE /*********************************************************************/ typedef struct _RESEXIT_PARMS /* Parameters for resource record exit */ char *work; /* Address of 16-byte static work area */ PFATTR *pfattr;...

Coded fonts The line-data transform must process coded fonts to determine the names of the code pages and font character sets they reference. This is necessary in creating Map Coded Font-2 (MCF-2) structured fields. request (Byte 18) Specifies how the line-data transform processes the resource. On entry to the exit program, this parameter is X'00'.

The main drawback to this solution is that it generates a significant amount of network traffic as the system retrieves the resources. The increase in traffic and time needed to retrieve the resources when needed could cause printer clutching.

Next, we make a copy of the supplied Exit. We modify the Exit so it copies the received file instead of submitting it to InfoPrint Manager using pdpr. The Exit must use the first passed parameter as the name of the resource file and the third passed parameter to derive the target resource file name, because the DCF mapped it that way.
Page 186 The sample user exit 15 program (apsux15m) provided with MVS Download, adds a parameter that identifies data sets that belong to multiple data set jobs and indicates whether the data set is first, next, or last in a job. Turning off parallel processing ensures that the MVS Download receiver receives the data sets in the correct sequence by creating only one child process.

Page 225: Chapter 24. Understanding Transforms And The Configurable Transform Subsystem
Chapter 24. Understanding transforms and the configurable transform subsystem Transforms are InfoPrint objects (like queues and destinations) that you create and configure in InfoPrint Manager. Transforms receive data in a particular format or formats, process the data in some way, and output the changed data. When you create a transform, you have complete control over what data format or formats it operates on and what type of processing it does.
Page 226: Defining A Transform Sequence
InfoPrint Manager lets you create a sequence for transforming print data before the system sends it to a printer. This provides users with a feature similar to the configurable transform sequences that you could create in PSF/2 using the XFMFLTR utility.

Page 241: Chapter 25. Color And Grayscale Printing Using Afp
Chapter 25. Color and grayscale printing using AFP Printing documents in full color or with very high-quality black and white (grayscale) images is more complex than printing black and white or spot-color documents. Understanding some of the principles of color and grayscale printing and how various InfoPrint products can fit into color and grayscale solutions can help you integrate color and grayscale printing with your current operations or expand to implement new color workflows.

Page 243 Each device has its own individual color space and range of colors that it can display or print. The color space specifies how color information is represented in an image when it is displayed on a particular device. As the image is passed from one device to the next, the color information about the image is converted from the color space of the source device to the color space of the destination device.
Page 244: Gamut And Rendering Intent
An ICC profile contains information for converting an image between a device-specific color space and a device-independent color space. A device-independent color space is a color space that does not depend on or relate to the characteristics of any particular device, but rather contains all colors for all gamuts.
Page 245: Halftones And Tone Transfer Curves
Halftones and tone transfer curves Halftones are used to convert images (such as photographs, drawings, logos, or charts) from the continuous tones that you see on a monitor into a pattern of dots that a printer can put on paper. Tone transfer curves are used to modify the values of a particular color component and thus adjust the look and feel of some of the colors.
Page 246: Grayscale Printing Concepts
Because color images must contain data about each layer of color, the file might contain three to four times more information than a grayscale file and over 24 times more information than a black and white file. In addition, ICC profiles are embedded in some file types (such as TIFF images).
Page 247: Color Management
Halftones Grayscale printers apply halftones to print jobs to print them; halftones let the printer produce many shades of gray and high-quality images. Generally, the most important characteristic to consider for halftones in grayscale printing is line screen frequency, expressed in lines per inch (lpi). Each printer supports a set of line screen frequencies natively;...
Page 248: Rendering Intents
photograph with the ICC profile for your camera. Then, when you want to print that photograph, the color management system converts the color data from the camera into the PCS. The printer then uses its ICC profile to convert the photograph data from the PCS into its color space, and prints the photograph as accurately as it can.
Page 249: Paper Characteristics
Paper characteristics The paper that you use has a significant impact on the colors that you see. Even if you use the same ICC profile and the same printer, printing on a different paper can result in a very different color appearance. Colors can change from paper to paper, particularly if you change from coated to uncoated paper or from sheet-fed to continuous forms paper.
Page 250 Note: CMRs can vary in size from several hundred bytes to several megabytes. If your print job uses relatively few CMRs, including them in the print file might not have an impact on the performance of your system. However, if your print job uses more than 10 CMRs, the size of the print job can increase so much that file transfer rates and network traffic are affected.
Page 251 Passthrough CMRs are color conversion CMRs that indicate that no color processing should be done if the color space of the presentation device is the same as the color space of the CMR. Passthrough CMRs contain no data. Link color conversion CMRs: Link color conversion CMRs combine the processing information required to directly convert an image from the color space of an input device to the color space of the output device.
Page 252 You can create, install, and uninstall device link CMRs yourself. Device link CMRs are referenced in the MO:DCA data stream and take precedence over audit color conversion CMRs. A device link CMR specifies its own rendering intent, which is indicated in the header of the ICC device link profile.
Page 253 CMRs. If there is a match, the printer uses the selected device-specific halftone CMR when it processes the print job. If there is no match, the printer uses the halftone CMR whose line screen frequency value is closest to the one requested. The Color Management Object Content Architecture (CMOCA) has defined a variety of generic halftone CMRs, which cover the most common line screen frequencies and halftone types.
Page 254 If you use AFP Resource Installer, it installs the generic tone transfer curve CMRs on your system automatically. CMR processing modes CMR processing modes tell the print system how to apply a CMR to the print data it is associated with. You specify a CMR processing mode whenever you specify a CMR, although not all modes are valid for all CMR types.
Page 255 In some cases, CMRs that are usually used as instruction CMRs can be used as audit CMRs. For example, if you send a very large print job to a high-speed printer, the images in the print job are converted into the color space of that printer by using a color conversion CMR with the instruction processing mode.
Page 256: Data Objects
addition, AFP Resource Installer automatically installs all the generic halftone and tone transfer curve CMRs in any resource library you create. You can download device-specific CMRs for InfoPrint printers such as the InfoPrint 5000 from the InfoPrint Solutions Company Web site: http://www.infoprint.com If you need more CMRs, you can create them by using wizards provided in AFP Resource Installer.
Page 257 GIF files are bitmap image files that are limited to a palette of 256 RGB colors. Because of the limited color range that it can contain, GIF is not a good format for reproducing photographs, but it is generally adequate for logos or charts. GIF images are widely used on the Internet because they are usually smaller than other image formats.
Page 258: Resource Library Management
The changes include: v Convert the image into a file type that is appropriate for printing. For example, the file types that many graphics applications (such as Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, and Corel Paint Shop Pro) use to store images while you work on them are not appropriate for printing.
Page 259: Tips And Best Practices
Do not copy CMRs or data objects directly into the resource libraries that AFP Resource Installer uses. If you copy CMRs or data objects into these resource libraries, the RAT is not updated so the print server cannot use it to find the CMRs or data objects.
Page 260: Infoprint Afp Color And Grayscale Products
Note: This option is not advisable for secure resources, such as signature files. v Install CMRs and data objects in resource libraries that the print server can access, so they only need to be stored in one place and can be used by all print servers.

Page 263: Print Servers
Print servers InfoPrint print servers receive print jobs from various sources and prepare them to be sent to a printer. After print jobs have been prepared, the print server interacts with the printer to make sure that all the required resources are available, then sends the print job data to be printed.
Page 264: Afp Color Solution Scenarios
InfoPrint ProcessDirector can also receive line data print jobs that refer to CMRs and data objects and convert them into AFP using a step based on the ConvertLineDataJobIntoAFP step template. InfoPrint ProcessDirector processes CMRs and data objects similar to the way it processes other AFP resources.

After this substitution, InfoPrint prints jobs that specify the font character-set name CZN200 and that processed on the physical printer for which you made the change using the raster version of the font.
Page 292: Preventing Infoprint From Using Grid Files
Preventing InfoPrint from using GRID files If you have a 300-pel printer but you print 240-pel jobs, the printer-resident fonts might have different line spacings and endings in the printed output. For some types of billing statements, these line endings are inappropriate. You can solve this problem by preventing InfoPrint from using the GRID files, which in turn keeps InfoPrint from using printer-resident fonts.
Page 293: Chapter 28. Generating And Submitting Color Mapping Table Source And Output Files
Chapter 28. Generating and submitting color mapping table source and output files A color mapping table is a printer resource object that defines a translation from certain MO:DCA structured fields to new color structured fields used by newer printers. Color mapping tables are used to provide highlight color attachments to black-and-white printers, such as using the InfoPrint 4005 attachment with the InfoPrint 4000 printer.

Page 373: Appendix B. Ipds Error Recovery
Appendix B. IPDS error recovery When driving an IPDS printer, InfoPrint Manager sends page and resource data to the printer. The printer reports status and errors back to InfoPrint Manager. The printer status information is in the form of station counters representing progress of pages sent to the device through the printer microcode and the physical printing mechanism.
Page 374: Data Stream Error Example 1 (Job Continues Printing)
When a data stream error occurs, messages are produced describing the problem and the recovery actions performed. The messages report details about the error and include the page number where the error occurred. After InfoPrint Manager receives a data stream error from the printer and produces a message, it uses station counters returned from the printer to continue printing without skipping or reprinting any pages.
