IPDS Printer and Host Setup Guide AS/400 and iSeries LAN Printing Using the Printer Standard Network Port or MarkNet Internal Print Server
Note 1: IPDS pass through may be set to *YES. This may increase job performance. Selecting *YES may
change the fonts downloaded from the host and change paper jam recovery action between the host
and printer.
Note 2: Refer to
“Printer and Host Timeout Values” [page 50]
for information on selecting the Release
Timer value.
Note 3:
Use outline fonts controls the type of fonts downloaded to the printer. When set to *YES,
outline fonts are downloaded to the printer. When set to
*NO, raster fonts are downloaded to the
printer. When the outline or raster fonts are marked eligible for capture on the host, the host will send
fonts which can be captured at the printer.
Note 4:
Capture host fonts at printer must be set to *YES and fonts must be marked eligible
to be captured before the host will send fonts which can be captured to the printer. Refer to the IPDS
Emulation User's Guide for additional information on capturing fonts.
Step 3 Create a Printer Device Description
Note: Examples showing parameters displayed on an AS/400 may be different than the parameters
displayed on your system. Examples are shown with V5R2 parameters.
Create a printer device description for your printer using
CRTDEVPRT.
Below is an example of a device description. The parameters in
bold are the parameters which must be
changed for printing IPDS jobs.
Cut sheet emulation mode.............. CSEMODE *NONE
Use DBCS simulation fonts............. MAPIGCFNT *NO
Replace............................... REPLACE *YES
Authority............................. AUT *LIBCRTAUT
