121 8 Using the SIMM for IPDS w ith the A dapter for SCS 8.1 Using the Coax/T w inax A dapter for SC S This section describ es how to set up the A dapter for SCS to make it possible to print IPDS data to either a direct coaxially attached printer or a direct tw inaxially attached printer.
122 Important : On IPDS code lev el 8223 and abov e, the IPDS em ulat ion m ay be shared by IPDS hosts conn ected to the printer usin g the A dapter for SCS (Coax or Tw inax attachm ent) an d IPDS hosts connected to th e printer using a MarkNet in ternal print server, or a MarkNet Pr o external print server, or MarkNet XLe.
123 8.2 Using the Coax In terface w ith IPDS Note: When coax attached, the Adapter for SCS w ill, by default, us e the IPDS emu lation if a SIMM for IPDS is installed. If you install a new Adapter for SCS in an Optra printer with a SIMM for IP DS (and vi c e vers a ), you d o no t need to config ure the Adapter f or SCS to use the IPDS em ulation.
124 8.4 Cha nging the Coa x Timeout Value ( For Reference Only ) If necess ary y ou can chan ge the Coax Tim eout value by follow ing these steps: 1. Pre ss Me nu> until NE TWORK MENU disp la ys. Press Select. 2. Pre ss M enu> until NETWORK OPT ION 1 , NETWORK OPTI ON 2 or NETWORK OPT ION 3 display s.
125 8.5 Verify ing the C oax Interface with the SIMM for IPDS To verify the Adapter for SCS configuration, print a SC S IDB dump page. Follow these steps: 1. Pre ss Menu> until NETWORK MENU displa ys. P r ess Select . 2. Pre ss Me nu> until NE TWORK OPTION 1 displays.
126 8.6 Using th e T w inax Interface with IPDS When tw inax attached, the A dapter for SCS will, by defau lt, NOT use the IPDS emul ation if it is installed in the printer. The Adapter for SCS must be configured to use the installed SIMM for IPDS before it connects to the host.
127 8.8 T w inax Interface S ettings Only th ree setting options have to be considered to set up the Adapter for SCS for IPDS operation: SCS Device Address IPDS Device Address IPDS Bu ffer Sizes Note:.
128 8.10 IPDS Dev ice A ddress and IPDS Buffer Sizes Sett ings These settings for the Adapter for SCS on ly appear w hen th e SIMM for IPDS is detected in the printer. The IPDS Device Address is used to select the tw inax address for the IPDS em ulation or to disable the IPDS em ulation.
