Network connectivity
The 4050/4090/4450/4650 Laser Printing Systems (LPS) can be
connected in several environments such as IBM mainframes, DEC
minicomputers, and PC Local Area Networks (LANs). This
chapter discusses interface connections and provides a visual
overview of typical configurations within these environments.
Interface options
Several optional interfaces are available for use with the LPS.
Each interface offers different connection options.
Online
You use the online interface for all IBM systems which support
the channel-attached 3811/3211 and 4245 interface. The online
channel interface receives input directly from the host computer
system.
Offline
You can use the offline interface as an alternative to, or in
addition to, an online system. The offline interface connects any
9-track or 18-track magnetic tape which conforms to one of the
following formats:
•
American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
•
Burroughs format MCP 2500 through 4700, and 6700
•
Control Data Communications (CDC) external format
•
Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) format RSX-11
•
Honeywell format OS 220/2000 and OS 600/6000 series
•
IBM formats OS/VS/370, OS/360, DOS/VS/370, or DOS
360/370
•
ICL format 2900 VME/B
•
Interpress on tape
•
NCR format Century-B1
•
Sperry/Univac Series 70 format 1100-OS standard files
•
Tape input codes ASCII, Binary Coded Decimal (BCD), and
EBCDIC
•
Univac tapes format SDF.
