Switching modes (Dual Mode)

SETTING UP THE PRINTER CONTROLLER

Switching modes (Dual Mode)

The Dual Mode printing option lets you switch back and forth between IPS and NPS modes on your Printer Controller. This allows your printer to accept IPDS, PostScript, and PCL data streams.

When you are in IPS mode, you can spool PostScript and PCL data streams in the background; however, you can print these jobs only when you switch to NPS mode. When you are in NPS mode you cannot spool IPDS data streams in the background; you can print them only when you are in IPS mode.

IPS mode to NPS mode To switch from IPS mode to NPS mode:

1.Check the Control Unit Status field on the IPS main window to verify that the printer is Idle (not printing or receiving data).

2.Drain the printer at the host (this stops the host from sending jobs from the queue). Follow procedures for your own host system.

3.At the host, take the printer offline.

4.Place the pointer on the background area of the screen (not in a window or on an icon) and click the right mouse button.

5.From the menu that displays, select Start Network Printing. After a few minutes the Printer Controller switches to NPS mode.

Caution: Do not select Restart and do not turn the Printer

Controller or the printer off and on.

NPS mode to IPS mode To switch from NPS mode to IPS mode:

1.While the printer is idle, enter the command list documents at the >PS prompt and verify that no print jobs are pending or being received.

2.Place the pointer on the background area of the screen (not in a window or on an icon) and click the right mouse button.

3.From the menu that displays, select Start IPS Printing.

Caution: Do not select Restart and do not turn the Printer

Controller or the printer off and on.

4.Put the printer online at the host.

5.Start the printer at the host.
