Verifying the IPDS Configuration on System i
To test IPDS printing, do the following:
1. Vary on the line description if it is not already on.
VRYCFG CFGOBJ (line) CFGTYPE (*LIN) STATUS(*ON)
2. To start TCP/IP, enter:
STRTCP
3. Verify that the System i TCP/IP interface is active. Use the command:
WRKTCPSTS
and then select option 1.
4. Turn the printer on and wait until the printer's control panel displays READY.
5. To verify that the printer is connected to System i, ping the printer from a System i
workstation with one of the following commands:
PING ip_address'
or
PING hostname
where ip_address is the TCP/IP address of the remote system printer, and hostname is the
hostname you defined for the printer, if any.
6. If pings are successful, vary on the printer device description with the command:
VRYCFG (printer-device) CFGTYPE(*DEV) STATUS(*ON)
If the pings are not successful, see page 28 "Resolving System i Problems".
7. To use PSF/400 to send an IPDS file to the printer, enter:
STRPRTWTR DEV (printer device)
If you have problems printing, do the following:
• Print a network configuration page, see the manual explaining the network functions provided
by the supplier.
• Verify that the IPDS port number matches the port number in the device description.
If you are still unable to print IPDS files, contact your service or sales representative.
