GDDM V3R2 General Information
GC33-0866-03

GDDM now supports the IBM Network Printer models 12, 17, and 24 and the IBM InfoPrint printer models 20 and 32. For the IBM InfoPrint printer, you also require the euro support PTF (PTF1).

GDDM support for the network printers consists of being able to run in native mode, and the addition of support for output stacker selection by means of a new processing option (procopt). Other functions, such as Bar Code support, are at the 4028 level. Support is provided for family-1 (IPDS), family-2, and family-4. Output stacker selection is not applicable to family-4.

The new procopt is IPDSSTAK and is group code 52. The format is (IPDSSTAK,n) where n is the stacker number and has a default of 1.

You should check for the valid media destination values for the printer that you are using. For example, for the 4324 printer:

Output tray 1 (Face down) is value 1
Output tray 2 (Face up) is value 2

The output trays may also be Mailbox output or Finisher Trays.

The same device tokens apply to all the Network Printer and InfoPrint printers.

The following device tokens are provided for family-1 and family-2:

SNWPRQ

SNA Letter

XNWPRQ

Non-SNA Letter

SNWPRA4

SNA A4

XNWPRA4

Non-SNA A4

The family-4 device tokens are:

ANWPRQ

Letter 8 LPI

ANWPRA4

A4 8 LPI

BNWPRQ

Letter 6 LPI

BNWPRA4

A4 6 LPI

All tokens have the 4mm no print border.

The following is the description of the new procopt.
