1 Introduction The IPDS DIMM provides more features that any other competitive product in the world. The IPDS DIMM is an internal module for AFP print using the IPDS printing capabilities. As one of the very few companies MPI Tech offers total connectivity flexibility as the solution operates with both HP JetDirect and MPI Tech LAN connectivity solutions for TCP/IP attachment to S/390, AS/400 and AIX systems for AFP printing.
2 Installation The installation of the IPDS DIMM is described in detail below. Requirements: Minimum 8MB RAM installed in the printer. Note: Before you start installing the IPDS DIMM, make sure that the printer is powered off and that the power cord has been disconnected. CAUTION Static electricity can damage your IPDS Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM). When handling the IPDS DIMM, you should either wear an antistatic wrist strap, or frequently touch the metal surface of the printer. 2.1.
3 Configuration 3.1 Using the Web Browser Through a web browser it is possible to configure the IPDS DIMM and to perform various advanced test functions. 3.1.1 Requirements A web browser, for example Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or higher. A TCP/IP enabled EIO Interface Card with an IP address. 3.1.2 Getting Started 1. Start the web browser. 2. After http://, type the IP address of the PrintServer followed by :9100/ipds/ in the web browser’s Address or Location box.
3.1.3 IPDS Configuration 1. Go to IPDS CONFIGURATION SETTINGS to configure the IPDS DIMM. The settings are shown in Figure 1. 2. Customize the settings with your preferred values. If you click , you will see a list of the different settings, the range of the values and the default values. These are also listed in section 3.1.6, IPDS Configuration Settings below. In order to configure the printer’s input trays, scroll down to the heading IPDS INPUT TRAY SETTINGS. 3.1.
EMULATION Defines the type of IPDS printer to emulate. Range: 3812 3816 4028 Default: 4028 DEFAULT CODEPAGE Defines which codepage to use as printer default. Range: 1..65534 (0xFFFE). Validated when the ppd line opens. Default: 500 REPORT MARGINS TO SYSTEM Defines whether the margins should be reported in the OPC reply or not. If not, the entire page is reported as the printable area. Range: YES, NO.
Range: NO YES Default: NO TRUE PAGE COUNTER Defines whether to query for printed pages. Range: NO YES Default: NO IM SMOOTHING Defines whether the 240 to 300 dpi scaling in IM 3812 mode should be smoothed in the same way as characters or not at all. Range: NO YES Default: YES 3.1.7 IPDS Input Trays Below is a short description of the configurable items: MANUALTRAY Defines AFP ID for Manual tray. Range: AFP ID 0..255 Default: AFP ID 100 TRAY 1 Defines AFP ID for Tray 1. Range: AFP ID 0..
Note: The default value is actually '0', indicating that the AFP ID will be automatically assigned. By default Tray 1 (the fold down tray) will actually be assigned the highest (normal tray) AFP ID 3.2 Hints and Guidelines for Configuration This section describes where settings are stored. There is also a description of the configuration of timers in combination with HP JetDirect cards or compatible PrintServers. 3.2.
4 PSF/400 AFP Printing Using TCP/IP This chapter provides configuration guidelines for OS/400 using TCP/IP. The versions differ somewhat in the setup. For the different OS/400 versions, use the cross-references below: 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, AS/400 AS/400 AS/400 AS/400 AS/400 AS/400 AS/400 Settings for Version 3.1 Settings for Version 3.2 Settings for Version 3.6 Settings for Version 3.7 Settings for Version 4.1 Settings for Version 4.2 settings for Version 4.
Printer Requirements: The recommended memory configuration is as follows: Requirement Minimum installed memory Recommended minimum memory (simple text) Recommended minimum memory (pages with overlays or graphics) A4/Letter simplex 8 MB 8 MB 12 MB Printer Minimum Printer firmware date code IPDS DIMM firmware(or later versions) HP2100 19990105 S93 162.
