IPDS MENU
ITEM
VALUE Description
EDGE-EDGE OFF*
ON
Turns edge-to-edge printing on or off.
OFF—the printer maintains a no-print border of 4 mm on all four
paper sides.
ON—The printer allows printing up to the physical page size.
Notes:
1. To prevent toner from contaminating the printer, IBM recommends
leaving EDGE-EDGE set to OFF; use ON only when necessary.
2. The IPDS Menu item EDGE-EDGE applies to IPDS data only. To
specify edge-to-edge printing for non-IPDS data sent over the coax
attachment, use the EDGE-EDGE item on the Coax Setup Menu. To
specify edge-to-edge printing for non-IPDS data sent over the twinax
attachment, use the EDGE-EDGE item on the Twinax Setup Menu.
FONT SUB OFF*
ON
Turns font substitution on or off.
OFF—if a job requests a font that is not loaded on the printer, the port
generates an IPDS NACK message and the host holds the job.
ON—if a job requests a font that is not loaded on the printer, the
printer attempts to substitute another font.
IPDS PORT COAX*
TX
TRING
ETHER
Specifies the attachment you use for IPDS jobs.
Note: You can print IPDS from more than one port; setting this item,
therefore, does not restrict you from printing from multiple ports. Also, this
item may not appear on some printers.
EARLY COMPL OFF*
ON
Turns early print completion on or off for IPDS jobs.
OFF—the printer waits until the job is physically complete to signal the
host that the job is complete.
ON—the printer signals the host that the job is complete as soon as
the IPDS data is formatted.
Setting EARLY COMPL=ON may improve print performance, but may also
degrade recovery and cause lost data for some printing problems, such as
jams.
