1 Introduction
1.1 About This Guide
Thank you for purchasing the Card for IPDS which provides emulation support for Intelligent Printer
Data Stream (IPDS). This provides high quality IBM host connectivity print output. With the appropriate
adapter and host software, your printer becomes an IBM host workstation printer capable of printing AFP
or IPDS documents from an AS/400, iSeries, System/370, System/390, zSeries, or InfoPrint Manager.
Unless otherwise stated, the term “printer” covers both printers and Multifunction Products
(MFPs).
This guide contains information to assist you in understanding the IPDS MENU settings and IPDS
function support.
If you need information on configuring the printer and host settings to receive IPDS jobs, refer to the
IPDS Printer and Host Setup Guide.
Information on how to install the Card is on separate documentation shipped with your printer. Refer to
the documentation that was shipped with your printer for information on how to install the optional
firmware cards.
If you need basic information about your printer setup and printer operation, please refer to the printer’s
specific documentation.
1.2 Equipment Requirements and Specifications for IPDS
Emulation Printing
This manual applies to the following printers:
•Lexmark C792
•Lexmark C925
•Lexmark C950
This manual applies to the following Multifunction Products (MFPs):
•Lexmark X792
•Lexmark X925
•Lexmark X548
•Lexmark X950, X952, X954
•Lexmark 6500e

8
To print IPDS jobs, the printer must have the optional Card for IPDS installed, a required* minimum of
user memory (DRAM), and one of the following:
•Standard Network (Ethernet connection integrated into printer system board).
•MarkNet internal LAN print server (optional card providing Ethernet connection).
•Lexmark wireless internal print server.
*Note: A minimum amount of user memory (DRAM) may be required to support IPDS. Refer to Memory
Requirements and Recommendations on page 115.
1.3 Customer Support
Information on how to configure the host and printer during the initial installation is found in the Card for
IPDS, IPDS Printer and Host Setup Guide.
If you cannot find answers in this guide about using the IPDS emulation, or require firmware updates,
please contact your point of purchase, your local Lexmark office, or check the Lexmark support web site
at http://support.lexmark.com/index?page=localeSelect&locale=en&jumppage=home.

1.4 Conventions Used in the Manual
•Printer menu keys and operator panel texts are written in bold.
•
• Option names usually correspond to menu texts and are bold when used in sentences or shown as
the first column on a table listing options and general descriptions of the listed options.
•”Option values” described within sentences are written in “quotation marks”. They are bolded
when shown as the first column on a table describing values for an option.
•Some book titles are written in italic.
•On screen text is written in Courier typeface.
•Keyboard keys are written in angle brackets, e.g. <Enter> or <F1>.
•Bold is sometimes used for emphasis or as subheaders for blocks of text within a section.
•Italics are used to label Examples, Notes and blocks of text with very Important information.
•Unless otherwise stated, the term “printer” covers both printers and MFPs.

2 Using the Control Panel for IPDS MENU Setup
The IPDS emulation option settings may be changed from the control panel (operator panel) or from a
browser. Information on how to use the printer control panel is found in your printer publications. If you
are not familiar with the printer control panel, please refer to your printer publications. These
publications may be found at: http://support.lexmark.com
2.1 IPDS MENU Setup Options vs. Printer Setup Options
Changes to the option settings under the IPDS MENU will only affect the way IPDS jobs print. These
changes will not affect PostScriptor PCLjobs.
Changes to printer settings under the various printer menus will affect the way PostScript and PCL jobs
are printed. Many of these printer settings may also affect IPDS jobs.
Printer IPDS settings are for the most part used as default. They are only used in the absence of specific
instructions from the host. Thus, the settings you choose from your IPDS print job may override default
settings, including those you set yourself.
User-selected default settings remain in effect until you save new settings or restore the factory defaults.
This guide discusses changing the IPDS MENU settings. Please refer to your printer's documentation for
information on changing other printer settings.
2.2 Activation of New Menu Settings
All saved settings will become active on the next IPDS host session.
If the printer IPDS Timeout is NOT set to “Host Controlled”(Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU >
EMULATION > IPDS Timeout = “Host Controlled”), power the printer OFF and ON to activate the
new settings. For more information on IPDS Timeout, see page 21.
2.3 Accessing the IPDS MENU
The IPDS emulation options and settings are accessed from the IPDS MENU. To reach the menu:
1. Make sure the printer is powered ON and the Ready message appears.
2. Touch the menu icon to access the menus.
3. Use the icons or to scroll through the main menus displayed on the screen.
4. Touch Option Card Menu.
5. Now you will see a list of options. Touch IPDS MENU.
2.4 Printing the Menu Settings Page
