Section 1: General Information Section 1 General Information Product Overview • This interface has full support for the IPDS features of the corresponding IBM 3812, IBM 3816 and IBM 4028 printers and is 100% plug compatible with these printer types. • Emulation selection (3812/16 or 4028) is easily done from the front panel control. • Hardware installation is easily done by the user. The only tool needed is a screwdriver for mounting one single screw.
Section 1: General Information Contents of This Delivery The AXIS AFP IOP interface package consists of these parts: 1 x AXIS AFP IOP interface main board (Part no: 0055-3). An interface which connects to the IBM 3270 environment by Coax cabling or the IBM 5250 environment by Twinax cabling. The interface contains by default both 3816 and 4028 emulations together with the Twinax and the Coax software.
Section 1: General Information IPDS The Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) is the host-to-printer data stream for Advanced Function Printing (AFP) subsystems. It is part of IBM's System Application Architecture (SAA). The IPDS architecture is functionally divided into eight towers of command sets, each representing a major printer capability. Five data towers: Text, IM Image, IO Image, Graphics and Bar Code; and three resource towers: Page Segment, Overlay and Loaded Font.
Section 1: General Information The Lexmark IOP Port The Lexmark IOP port allows a network interface to send data to the Lexmark PCL and PostScript interpreter with an extensively higher speed than possible through a parallel PC cable. Additionally the IOP port provides information of various hardware and software states to the AFP IOP interface.
Section 2: Front Panel Operation Section 2 Front Panel Operation The AFP IOP adds a complete set of interface menus to the existing Lexmark front panel menu structure, thus allowing all interface settings to be altered by an easy self explanatory user interface. Menu settings relating to Coax and Twinax change according to the cable connected to the AFP IOP. Note: Changed settings will only have effect at the next Power on.
Section 2: Front Panel Operation Opening Screen (Main IOP Menu) The first display under [Network Menu] is shown in figures 1 and 2. Notice the following about the displays: 1. The detected cable type -Coax or Twinax is displayed in the upper left corner. However if no cable is connected, the display will indicate “Twinax”. 2. Synchronization with the Coax or Twinax Control Unit is displayed as "CU". However the display does not operate in real time mode, but is only updated when entering [Network Menu].
Section 2: Front Panel Operation 5. The [2] displayed next to the emulation in figure 2 indicates the Twinax Station Address. This indication is only shown in Twinax mode. For more information on setting the Twinax address refer to page 37. Twinax Local Setup Remote Setup Test Options 4028 [2] Ready Return Figure 2.
Section 2: Front Panel Operation Local Setup Menu The local setup menu contains the 4 submenus shown in figure 3. Note that menu point number 3 changes according to the cable attached. "Coax Options" is shown if the Coax patch cable is connected, and "Twinax Options" is shown if the Twinax T-cable or NO cable is connected. Printer Options IPDS Options Coax Options Set Factory default Ready Return Figure 3 For more information on the [Remote Setup] refer to page 57.
Section 3: Utility Program Operation Section 3 Utility Program Operation The AFP utility program is a tool for reconfiguring and upgrading the software in your AFP IOP interface which enables you to : 1. Upgrade main program and fonts in the interface. (Note that the standard package does not contain the software files for the main program and font upgrade. Contact your local dealer for further information). 2.
Section 3: Utility Program Operation Setup for PC Configuration To configure or upgrade the AXIS AFP IOP using the AFP utility program, the PC must be connected to the printer. Follow these steps: Important 1. Switch off both the PC and the printer! 2. Connect the serial link cable which is supplied in the delivery. Attach the connector marked PC to the PC, and the connector marked IOP to the AXIS AFP IOP in the printer. 3. Switch on the printer and the PC.
Section 3: Utility Program Operation Making Changes to Config File Options In the Main Menu, press C to select menu [Config file] and move down with the arrow keys to select between [Coax options], [Twinax options], [Printer options], [Serial options] and [IPDS options]. As an example [Printer options] is selected. To change the number of input trays press the arrow down key to [number of cassettes]. Press and the zero in [Option values] will highlight.
Section 3: Utility Program Operation Save Config File (to PC harddisk/floppy drive) From the main menu select the [Config file] by pressing C. Then select the menu [Save config file]. Type in a file name and press , or press and arrow keys to select a file you want to overwrite, and press to highlight [SAVE]. Press and you are back in the main screen and the file is saved.
Section 4: IPDS Parser Function Section 4 IPDS Parser Function The IPDS Parser is a function for configuring the AFP IOP remotely from a Sys370 (Coax) or AS/400 (Twinax) host environment. In this way you do not need to use the front panel or the Utility Program to configure the AFP IOP. The parser is valid in both 4028 and 3816 emulation mode, no matter if it is connected by Coax or Twinax.
Section 4: IPDS Parser Function activate the new options. All options have the following format: option string = number All configuration options must be separated by a semi-colon; line feed, form feed etc. are ignored. Example 1 &%OPT_=; DEFAULT_CODEPAGE = 8; FRONT_TOP_MARGIN = -100; &% Example 2 &%OPT_=;COAX_C04=5;COAX_C17=1;&% Note Turn the printer Off and On to activate the new options.
Section 5: Configuration Parameters Section 5 Configuration Parameters The following chapters describe the AFP IOP configuration parameters. The parameters are split into the following groups: Coax and Twinax Options Printer Options IPDS Options Set Factory default Each chapter is introduced by a short presentation of some important features of the corresponding Lexmark menu.
Section 5: Configuration Parameters Coax/Twinax Options Front Panel Menus The detected cable type (Coax or Twinax) is displayed in the upper left corner of the AFP IOP frontpanel menu. However if no cable is connected, the display will always indicate "Twinax". Only the menu corresponding to the detected cable will be accessible. However two options share the same position in the configuration storage area.
Section 5: Configuration Parameters Coax Options This group of options corresponds to the C00..C27 options available on the 3812-2 Coax printer. Most of these are related to non IPDS configuration (SCS). However the default code page (C04), IR timeout (C17) and cassette linking (C27) are used in IPDS as well. Furthermore, options C28..C30 are equivalent to options (D - parameters) found on the 4028 Coax printer. Note: In the following an asterisk "*" will indicate the factory setting.
