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.
