IPDS Printer and Host Setup Guide
Printer Messages and Problems
Problem 2:
IPDS memory exception
Sometimes an IPDS memory exception is reported to the host.
Solution to Problem
2
You need to do one or more of the following:
A.
Postscript or PCL resources may be saved in the printer memory. The memory cannot be used by IPDS.
Set
Resource Save
to "Off" in the printer menu to allow permanent downloaded resources from PostScript
and PCL jobs to be deleted. Try reprinting the job after powering the printer OFF and ON.
B.
There may be insufficient printer memory to print the IPDS job with print resolution selected in the printer's
MENU/Menus > Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU > EMULATION >IPDS Print Res
menu item. Select a
lower print resolution and try reprinting the job.
C.
There may be insufficient printer memory to temporarily store IPDS resources and print non-IPDS jobs. Add
more memory to the printer. Requirements vary greatly according to type of printing and types of resources
being used. For information on the minimum recommended installed memory for various printing
requirements on each supported printer, refer to the appendix on memory requirements and
recommendations in the IPDS Emulation User’s Guide.
D.
The host may be downloading more IPDS resources than can be held in the printer's memory. Add more
memory to the printer. Requirements vary greatly according to type of printing and types of resources being
used. For information on the minimum recommended installed memory for various printing requirements on
each supported printer, refer to the appendix on memory requirements and recommendations in the IPDS
Emulation User’s Guide.
Problem 3:
Large or complex PostScript or PCL jobs do not print after installing IPDS
emulation
Before installing the IPDS emulation, my PostScript and PCL jobs printed correctly. Now some large Post-
Script and PCL jobs do not print.
Solution to Problem
3
A.
If you have set host and printer settings to temporarily store IPDS resources when printing non-IPDS jobs,
change these settings to allow the host to delete the IPDS resources before printing non-IPDS jobs. Refer
to
IPDS Timeout
in the IPDS Emulation User’s Guide for more information on setting printer values and see
the appropriate host installation section in this guide to change the
host timeout
value.
B.
Add more memory to the printer. This will allow IPDS resources to be temporarily stored and more complex
non-IPDS jobs to print. Requirements vary greatly according to type of printing and types of resources being
used. For information on the minimum recommended installed memory for various printing requirements on
each supported printer, refer to the appendix on memory requirements and recommendations in the IPDS
Emulation User’s Guide.
