Datastreams Application software used with IBM and IBM-compatible hosts in
an online connection generally produces printer output in line
printer or LCDS (Xerox metacode) datastreams. For those
products that produce other datastreams, such as AFP, translators
are available that convert the output to LCDS. None of these
formats require further conversion, so a front end processor is
not necessary.
Remote interface
To connect an IBM or IBM compatible mainframe remotely, an
OEM interface and Barr/SNA Bisynchronous Communication
Module are required. In this configuration, the LPS can support
SNA/SDLC or bisynchronous protocol environments as shown in
figure 4-2.

Datastreams Application software for a mainframe in an IBM remote
connection usually outputs line printer or LCDS datastreams or
bitmapped .IMG files; these do not require further conversion.
Translators are available to convert AFP to LCDS.
