5.1.4 Setting Diagnostic Functions and Configurations via Data Stream
The IntelliBar AS Net IPDS settings can be configured via the parallel port by sending a short
string that identifies the parameter to be set and the value it is to have. The data stream
commands can perform a factory reset, print the IPDS interpreter configuration self-test and set
the printer default IPDS page size. The following table describes the data stream command
strings and their functions.

5.1.4.1 Setting the IPDS Default Page Size
To set the IPDS default page size, the size values xxxx and yyyy must be in hex format in 1/1440
inches. This is the raw value that is sent to the host computer in the IPDS data stream. It is not
always necessary to set the default page size because the host computer will usually set the page
size in the data stream. If the host computer instructs the printer to use the default page size, then
the value stored in the printer will be used to calculate the page size. The following table cross
references inches to IPDS units:
