Working With IPDS

IPDS is a printer device data stream (specific to IBM) that contains the information necessary to identify, monitor, and control the functions 

of the printer. This information includes the characteristics of the printer, its resolution, what resources it has, whether it has sufficient 

memory, and whether it receives and prints a job. 

IPDS enables a two-way dialog between the printer and the printer driver to create a cooperative print management system. IPDS is 

device dependent and is unique for each printer. 

Verifying the presence of the IPDS and the Productivity Pack Licenses 

To print IPDS jobs, you must verify that the IPDS license is installed and enabled on the system. You must also have the Productivity Pack 

license enabled for the stock library to be available as well as all valid halfone screens.

Printing IPDS jobs

This is the general procedure for setting up the printer for printing an 

IPDS 

job. The procedure assumes that the correct 

IPDS 

options have 

been entered 

using Set Option 

, and that a virtual printer with appropriate attributes for the job, including a media list, has been created. It 

also assumes that printing and queuing are started. 

1. Enter 

Show IPDS Status 

so that you know the current system state and virtual printer state.

2. Enter 

Set Channel Online 

, if needed.

3. Enter 

Set IPDS Virtual Printer 

, if needed.

4. Load the required paper stock in the printer.

5. Set up the paper trays 

using Set Tray 

or 

Set Tray from Virtual Printer Media 

. 

6. Enter 

Start IPDS Printing 

, if needed. 

Related Hints and Tips

Subtopic

Hint/Tip Description

FreeFlow Print 

Server features not 

supported

The following FreeFlow Print Server features should not be applied to IPDS jobs: Job Forwarding, Save Jobs, 

Proof, Promote, Preview, Exception Pages, Covers, and Inserts.

Environments 

supported

The Currently supported environments are Z/OS (MVS) with PSF, OS400 with PSF, AIX with InfoPrint Manager 

and Windows with InfoPrint Manager. In addition, the Emtex VIP Front End Processor (FEP) is supported, but only 

for monochrome or highlight color data, at this time. Some other environments or FEPs may work successfully, 

but interoperability cannot be guaranteed.

Image shift affects 

banners

Image shift affects banners as well as application. IPDS host banners are not distinguished from other application 

pages. 

Avoidance: Although they do not affect FreeFlow Print Server banners, queue and job based Image Shift and 

Alignment values apply to host banners, just as they do to other application pages. If host banners are shifted to 

an inappropriate position, but other application data is printing correctly, revise the host application so that both 

application data and banners can be positioned correctly on FreeFlow Print Server without an added image shift 

or alignment value.

Importing

DocuPrint IPS 7.x Input Groups and 8.x Virtual Printer Media Lists cannot be imported into FreeFlow Print Server 

IPDS. FreeFlow Print Server IPDS Job Setups must be recreated.

IOCA Tile objects

IOCA Tile objects which don’t contain an IOCA image do not work reliably. 

User Action: Avoid using above feature.

IPS Manager

Printer Tray values IPS Manager Printer Tray values are not intended for editing. 

Avoidance: Do not attempt to edit values in the 'Printer Trays' column of the IPS Manager, 'Tray/Bin Mappings' 

tab. Characters input into this column, though allowed by the GUI, have no effect on system operation, and will 

NOT be registered by the IPS Manager. This field is intended for read-only use.
