IPDS MENU
ITEM
VALUE Description
EDGE-EDGE OFF*
ON Turns edge-to-edge printing on or off.
Ÿ OFF—the printer maintains a no-print border of 4 mm on all four
paper sides.
Ÿ ON—The printer allows printing up to the physical page size.
Notes:
1. To prevent toner from contaminating the printer, IBM recommends
leaving EDGE-EDGE set to OFF; use ON only when necessary.
2. The IPDS Menu item EDGE-EDGE applies to IPDS data only. To
specify edge-to-edge printing for non-IPDS data sent over the coax
attachment, use the EDGE-EDGE item on the Coax Setup Menu. To
specify edge-to-edge printing for non-IPDS data sent over the twinax
attachment, use the EDGE-EDGE item on the Twinax Setup Menu.
FONT SUB OFF*
ON Turns font substitution on or off.
Ÿ OFF—if a job requests a font that is not loaded on the printer, the port
generates an IPDS NACK message and the host holds the job.
Ÿ
ON—if a job requests a font that is not loaded on the printer, the
printer attempts to substitute another font.
IPDS PORT COAX*
TX
TRING
ETHER Specifies the attachment you use for IPDS jobs.
Note: You can print IPDS from more than one port; setting this item,
therefore, does not restrict you from printing from multiple ports. Also, this
item may not appear on some printers.
EARLY COMPL OFF*
ON Turns early print completion on or off for IPDS jobs.
Ÿ
OFF—the printer waits until the job is physically complete to signal the
host that the job is complete.
Ÿ
ON—the printer signals the host that the job is complete as soon as
the IPDS data is formatted.
Setting EARLY COMPL=ON may improve print performance, but may also
degrade recovery and cause lost data for some printing problems, such as
jams.
