PSM: Unable to specify duplex....0423-370
PROBLEM: Unable to specify duplex.
PSF v2.1 U450985
PSM v1.2 U457700
IBM3130 TCP/IP attached
AIX queue name = indy4-pcl
PSFprinter name = indy4psf
PSM Queue = indy4psmq
PSM Logical printer = indy4-pmld
PSM Physical Printer name = indy4psm
ACTION TAKEN: The PSFprinter "indy4psf" is an AIX-defined printer.
Customer stated that he can submit a job to the PSFprinter
specifying "-oduplex=yes" and that it will print duplex.
However, when he submitts the job to his PSM Logical Printer
with "printer-pass-through='-odu=y'" that he then receives
the following errors:
0420-094 The following messages were generated for file ________ with
Job ID ________. This file printed on the PSF printer ________, which
is a ________ printer.
EXPLANATION: This informational message identifies the file name
entered with the print request, the job ID assigned by the qdaemon,
and the printer name and printer type obtained from the PSF
printer profile for the printer.
SYSTEM_ACTION: PSF produces this message only if there are
notable exceptions to be reported for the print job. See the system
actions for other error messages in this message group.
USER_RESPONSE: This is an informational message; no response is required.
0423-370 PSF will not print the print job in simplex mode because duplexing was specified on the enqueue command.
0423-370
EXPLANATION: Duplexing was specified on the enqueue command, but the
printer can not duplex. Normally, PSF would print in simplex
mode while simulating duplexing by performing "functional duplexing".
However, PSF will not perform "functional duplexing" when
duplexing is specified on the enqueue command.
SYSTEM_ACTION: PSF stops processing the file at the point of the
error. If there are other files in this print job, PSF resumes
processing starting with the next file in the job; otherwise, PSF
cancels the job.
USER_RESPONSE: If simplex printing is acceptable, then submit the job for
printing again, but do not specify duplexing on the enqueue command.
If simplex printing is not acceptable, choose a printer that can
duplex.
0420-098 The error occurred while printing page ________ of copy _______
_ of this print job.
EXPLANATION: This message identifies the copy set number and the page
on which an error described in an accompanying message occurred.
SYSTEM_ACTION: See the system actions for other error messages in this
message group.
USER_RESPONSE: This is an informational message; no response is required
0420-098 The error occurred while printing page ________ of copy ________ of this print job.
0420-098
EXPLANATION: This message identifies the copy set number and the page
on which an error described in an accompanying message occurred.
SYSTEM_ACTION: See the system actions for other error messages in this
message group.
For PCl and IPDS printers there are two "Options" that need to be
set: Bin Mapping Options and Processing Options.
1.) smitty psfcfg
Bin Mapping Options
-select the PCL printer
Move cursor to desired item and press Enter. x
x x
x 0 Upper x
x 1 Lower x
x 2 Manual x
x 3 Envelope x
x 4 Alternate
-select the bin
DUPLEX available? no +
-change this to "yes"
2.) smitty psfcfg
Processing Options
-select the PCL printer
DUPLEX type
-F4 for a list
x /
x Move cursor to desired item and press Enter. x+
x x+\#
x simplex x
x duplex x
x tumble
We verified that the PSFprinter's Bin mapping and Processing
options were set correctly.
We created a test-pp using the pdgenatt command as follows:
pdgenatt indy4-pcl indy4psmq >tmp/test.out
pdcreate -c printer -X /tmp/test.out indy4suv:test-pp
pdpr -p indy4-pmld -x"printer-pass-through='-odu=y'" file
-same results ...0423-370
Found the answere in the PSM Commands Reference under the
Physical Printer section, attribute psf-tray-characteristics.
\# pdls -c printer -r psf-tray-characteristics 3130-pp
3130-pp: psf-tray-characteristics =
\# pdls -c printer -r all 3130-pp |grep media-supported
3130-pp: media-supported =
\# pddisable 3130-pp
\# pdset -c printer -x"media-supported=na-letter-white" 3130-pp
\# pdset -c printer -x "psf-tray-characteristics=top:na-letter-white:1:1:true" 3130-pp
-This can also be performed from the PSM GUI by placing the
mouse pointer on the Physical Printer and pressing the right
mouse button, select "Properties", select "PSF Configuration"
and ADD the "PSF Tray Characteristics":
Example..
Input tray 1
Medium Ready na-white-letter
Bin Number
Tray Number 1
Duplex available Yes
The default for PSF AIX-attached printers is NO for settable
ds-value.
ACTION PLAN: Customer modified this setting and the problem has been
resolved.
