Section 4
IPDS Parser Function
The IPDS Parser is a function for configuring the AFP IOP remotely from
a Sys370 (Coax) or AS/400 (Twinax) host environment. In this way you
do not need to use the front panel or the Utility Program to configure the
AFP IOP. The parser is valid in both 4028 and 3816 emulation mode, no
matter if it is connected by Coax or Twinax.
Using the IPDS Parser
To configure the AFP IOP, you send the configuration data (according to
the syntax instructions below) as text to the AFP IOP. The following rules
apply for configuration data:
• Send the data as text (PT2 tower) using an EBCDIC based codepage.
Sending the programming sequence in normal SCS/DSC format will
have no effect.
• All scanned data will be printed as normal, ie the AFP IOP will show
no indication of the configuration options being interpreted correctly.
• All non-printable characters (eg space) and positioning commands are
ignored within the programming sequence.
• All option settings with syntax or range error will be ignored.
Syntax To activate configuration mode, send the following lead-in string:
&%OPT_=;
To end configuration mode, send the following trailer string:
&%
This causes changed options to be saved. Turn the printer Off and On to
