IPDS Printer and Host Setup Guide Printer Messages and Problems
Problem 4: Remote output queue (name clash)
I'm trying to set up a remote printer with the Standard Network port or a MarkNet internal LAN print server
(named IPDSPRT) from my AS/400. When I try to print to it, I get an error message such as:
• "All sessions ended for device IPDSPRT"
• "Bind sense code ... received for mode QSPWTR device IPDSPRT"
• "Writer...did not end normally"
Solution to Problem 4
A remote output queue created using CRTOUTQ and a PSFCFG device created using WRKAFP2 or CRTPS-
FCFG have the same user defined name. You must use a unique name for the remote output queue for an
ASCII device using TCP/IP and the AS/400 Host Print Transform. This cannot be the same name used to
define the printer as an IPDS printer with WRKAFP2 or CRTPSFCFG.
Problem 5: Intervention Required messages
Intervention Required messages (printer offline, paper jam, out of paper, cover open, etc.) from the
printer are causing problems on the IPDS host.
Solution to Problem 5
You can suppress this message reporting by selecting the value Do Not Report for the option Intervention
Required in the IPDS menu system - MENU/Menus > Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU > EMULATION. You
would then rely on users noticing the status of the printer.
Problem 6: Bad Memory System
The message Bad Memory System displays and the printer stops.
Solution to Problem 6
The IPDS memory has been corrupted. Power the printer OFF and then ON.
Problem 7: 1565 EMUL ERROR LOAD EMUL OPTION
1565 EMUL ERROR LOAD EMUL OPTION appears on the display after updating the printer code.
Solution to Problem 7
The IPDS emulation version contained in the Card will not function with the printer code. Download the correct
IPDS emulation version. See the section on support (page
5
) for firmware update information.
Problem 8: 34 Incorrect Media
34 Incorrect Media appears on the display
Solution to Problem 8
A. Load the correct paper size and/or check tray paper guides to be sure the correct size is sensed.
