RE: lexmark ipds comm error

["Mark A. Manske" <mmanske@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't have that model, but I do have T622 with IPDS option - working fine
on very large batches for us here -

Couple of things on your psfcfg I noticed, (one I could be off, but ours is
working - )
we do not have ipds passthru set up, or blank page(but you may want that
between jobs)
The other thing I see is you do not have auto recovery on.

On your device config, we have a image configuration of *IMGC06 (as I
understand this will help to print out
the data stream correctly - you could be getting a "weird" data stream
shutting down the printer)


Otherwise - are you sharing the printer with a network (NT/Netware/other),
that timer may be set too
low and is grabbing it from the Iseries/400.

Also "IF" you have a configurable model (ours has a very robust html
interface) - there are MANY settings
on the hardware itself for timing, and how to handle requests from
IP/IPDS/netware...ect...
check those out too (if you have it)

Subject: lexmark ipds comm error


I'm trying to go live with a app printing to Lexmark Optra T
with ipds card. Has worked fine for small batches. 1st
big print (350 pages) and got error. Cannot determine cause:
I suspect a timing issue but don't know if printer or 400?
I setup using the Lexmark instructions with the ipds card.
Cannot find msg id PQT3621 in Knowledge Base
