IBM 2785+01 manual Ordered Media Support, Tab Text Creation, Tray/Media Profiles support

Family 2785+01 IBM Infoprint 2085

●Mixed Plex (single and double sided printing with the same job)

●Printing selected pages, specified by page range and/or individual page numbers

Ordered Media Support

Support has been added for handling print jobs using media that is loaded in ordered sets, such as multi-part tabs. The printer will track the usage of sheets from each set, and will eject unneeded ordered sheets at the end of a job. This will ensure that the next job starts at the beginning of a set. Also, special handling is provided for recovering from paper jams when ordered media is used.

Tab Text Creation

The Job Ticket Editor provides the capability to specify text to be printed on tabs, including orientation, font, and size.

Printing on tabs is supported for Single Byte Character Sets (SBCS) only.

Other Software Functions

IPDS Data Matrix Bar Code support

The Intelligent Printer DataStream (IPDS) support has been enhanced to print two-dimensional bar codes in the Data Matrix format.

Tray/Media Profiles support

Support has been added for user defined print job profiles. A tray/media profile defines the form assignment and PCL and IPDS tray renumbering, if any, for each tray. Profiles may be set up for freqently-run jobs or job groups. Profiles provide a more convenient method for the operator to change these machine settings. Up to 99 profiles may be defined.

IPP Windows Port Monitor

A new port monitor for Windows 2000 and Windows XP is provided. This port monitor provides real-time printer and job status. The print data is transfered to the printer using Internet Printing Protocol (IPP).

Complete Job Information

The machine keeps a log of the most recent 500 print jobs to allow convenient review of the recent usage of the machine. This log is available through the built-in web server. For a ticketed job, the machine can display details about the job including the finishing specified and the media required. These details are available through the built-in web server and the operator panel.

Limitations

The code upgrade has the following limitations:

●Ordered media tray linking

Autolinking of input trays is automatically enabled for trays that have matching media in them. Media is considered matching when the media type and media size of a tray both match, and the form assignment for the tray is the same (either the trays have no form assigned, or the trays have the same form assigned). Because ordered media sheets vary within a tray, auto linking is disabled for trays that are loaded with ordered media.

When several trays are linked and the first-selected tray is emptied, the printer chooses the next tray to use based on an internal algorithm. When the first-selected tray is refilled, the printer immediately resumes printing from that tray, even if the other linked trays have not become empty.

●Single page offset

The shift tray supports offseting of jobs and copies of jobs to ease separation of the output. Offsetting is only performed for jobs or copies that contain two or more pages.
