Installation and Setup

i5/OS® (System i) Setup

You must set several parameters for resident outline font support.
If you do not set these parameters properly, jobs submitted from
i5/OS® (System i) expecting resident outline fonts may fail or print
blank pages. If your host is a System i running i5/OS® and you
require resident outline font support, the recommended setup is:

•

On the i5/OS® host, set the Resident Font parameter in the
PSF Configuration object to *YES.

•

In the IPS Manager, ensure Enhanced Font Support is set to
Enabled.

•

In the IPS Manager, load the AFP fonts using the Manage
Fonts Dialog.

Defining a Logical Printer

Before using Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS to process IPDS
data streams, the host must have a printer defined for Xerox
FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS with the following requirements:

•

For TCP/IP connectivity, the Internet Protocol (IP) address and
port number of the printer must match the IP address and port
number of the printer. Valid values are 5001 through 65535.

•

For channel connectivity, the unit address specified for the
host printer definition must be a unique value and must match
the unit address specified on the IPS Manager.

•

For z/OS® (MVS), the printer must be defined as an AFP-type
device.

TCP/IP and channel connectivity can be established in the IPS
Manager System pull-down menu, System Configuration dialog
box.

Verifying the Installation

The following steps should be completed for a successful
installation of the Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS software,
and proper queue and printer setup:

•

Representative performs this task.

for your system. You can view this queue by using the print
