Re: Problem with Infoprint 1125

["Paul Tykodi" <p.tykodi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi George,

The Infoprint 1125 offers IPDS support as an extra cost feature. It is
enabled by adding a small DIMM style of board into the printer itself. Do
you know whether your order included the IPDS option or not?

Also when building a device description for an IPDS printer that uses cut
sheet feed, it is typically helpful to specify the FORMFEED parameter as
*AUTOCUT rather than *CONT. If you use *CONT (continuous feed), the OS/400
operating system is supposed to update the value for you after it receives
the list of supported features from the printer itself. Sometimes this
doesn't happen, which will cause extra form feeds to be inserted into your
spool files that will make a mess out of your report format.

HTH

Best Regards,

/Paul
