Compatibility Considerations
Here are some factors to consider if you are sending jobs from other page printers
to the 3130:
(IPDS-Only) The 3130 supports fonts in the same format as those for the IBM
3160, 3820, 3825, 3827, 3828, 3835, and 3900 printers. User-modified or
user-created 3800 printer fonts are not compatible with the 3130 fonts.
Although the 3130 can print edge-to-edge, consider registration and paper size
variations when defining the margins.
The 3130 can print to the paper’s edge, but for the best print quality, margins
are recommended as follows:
Edges: 2.5 mm (0.1 in.)
Punched holes: 3 mm (1.2 in.)
The 3130 default point of origin is the top left corner of the short side of the
media.
Attachments
Important
Attaching your 3130 to your host system requires configuration changes to the
host system. Depending on the type of attachment and the host system you
use, some configuration changes may need to be performed before the 3130
can be installed. Several 3130 configuration parameters require values that
match values in your host system; at the least, you need to be prepared to
provide these values to the customer engineer who installs the 3130. Refer to
IBM InfoPrint 60; 3130, 3160, and 3935 Advanced Function Printer: Attachment
Configuration Handbook
for more details about configuring host systems.
Advanced Function Presentation Licensed Programs (IPDS-Only)
Some Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) licensed programs are required for
the operation of the 3130; others are optional. Work with your users to determine
which optional advanced functions they need. For a list of publications that
describe the programs you require for a particular environment, as well as a
summary of Advanced Function Presentation concepts, products, and benefits,
refer to the
Guide to Advanced Function Presentation
, G544-3876.
Installing and Verifying AFP Programs
Install and verify AFP programs before you install the 3130. The licensed programs
include verification procedures to help you install the software correctly. In addition,
the system programmer is responsible for:
Creating the resources (page definitions, electronic overlays, form definitions,
and page segments) that the resource libraries will contain.
Creating or modifying the PSF startup procedure to include resource libraries
and attachment information.
Enabling printer resident fonts, if necessary.
