6 Remote Configuration of Printer IPDS
Settings

Most IPDS emulation settings stored in the printer (the default IPDS settings) can be
changed remotely by sending a special IPDS text job to the printer. This method of
changing settings is useful during printer installation to set the IPDS option settings to
the values recommended by your system administrator. At a later time, if it is
determined by your system administrator that an option setting should be changed, the
setting may be changed easily on a single printer or all installed printers.

6.1 Settings That Require Operator Intervention

Two option setting changes may require operator intervention at the printer. Operator
intervention to power OFF and power ON the printer is required so the host will
recognize the changes. The message Recycle PWR to activate value may be displayed
on the printer operator panel when the following option settings are changed.

IPDS Emulation

Changing to the IBM 3812/16 emulation (240 dpi) from a 4028,
43xx, or 3112/16 emulation (300 dpi) or changing from a 4028,
43xx, or 3112/16 emulation to the IBM 3812/16 emulation,
displays the message Recycle PWR to activate value and halts the
printer. Changing between 4028, 43xx, or 3112/16 emulations does
not require recycling of the printer power.

Duplex Control

Setting this option to a new value causes the message Recycle
PWR to activate value
to be displayed and halts the printer.

6.2 Option Values Which Can Not Be Changed
