IBM 2785+01 Send and Save, Email from the printer for job and printer status, Network Status

Family 2785+01 IBM Infoprint 2085

●Address of the WINS Server

●Address of the SMTP Server

●Address of the NetWare Server, NetWare tree and NetWare context

If the printer is configured to obtain its IP address from the DHCP server, the printer requests that the DHCP server register the printer's host name with the system DNS server. The printer registers its NetBIOS name with the WINS server.

Send and Save

Infoprint 2085 and 2105 supports flexible new ways for holding and releasing jobs. When a print job should not be seen by anyone except by the person sending it, a PIN code may be sent to the printer along with the print job. The printer will hold the job until that PIN code is entered at the operator panel.

Any user may send jobs to the printer to be held for later release. This allows the printer to serve as an electronic forms cabinet, holding blank forms to be printed when needed. The forms may be replaced or removed as needed.

Send and Save is supported on all operating systems except Macintosh. Send and Save is supported only on PCL/PostScript jobs (PCL/PostScript feature must be installed).

Email from the printer for job and printer status

Infoprint 2085 and 2105 supports sending email notification to users of the printer. Two categories of notification are provided:

●Job notification

●Printer notification

Using IBM PCL/PostScript printer drivers, the user may include an email address when submitting a print job. The printer will send email to that address when the job completes or if the job is held up due to a printer problem, such as when the printer runs out of paper.

Additionally, the printer administrator may configure email addresses for a key operator, supplies operator or service operator to be notified when the printer requires attention. Conditions such as paper jams, out-of-paper and service call required will be sent to email addresses selected by the administrator.

These functions are supported on all operating systems except Macintosh. Job Notification is supported only on PCL/PostScript jobs (PCL/PostScript feature must be installed). It also requires IBM drivers.

For printer notification, the language used to create the email is the language selected for the operator panel. For job notification, the language is set by the printer driver to the same language as the one used by the printer driver.

Network Status Page

A network status page is included in Infoprint 2085 and 2105. This page provides real-time status of the state of various network communications. The status page may help to determine the cause of printing problems, such as the inability to logon to a NetWare network or a timeout when receiving a network print job. The status page may be printed from the operator panel or viewed online with a web browser.

Edge Sensitivity

Some preprinted forms, especially labels or prepunched forms, may cause jams when loaded in a tray in the normal orientation, but feed correctly when loaded in the opposite direction (a 180 degree rotation). To support the use of this opposite loading direction, the Infoprint 2085 and 2105 provide an option that allows the operator to define a media as edge sensitive. Logic within the printer control unit will rotate simplex and duplex pages 180 degrees to align the image with the orientation of the form. This option is not compatible with most finishing operations.

Side Sensitivity
