LPS CONNECTIONS
Environment
Figure 4-2 illustrates the general types of environments that can
connect to the 4890 LPS:
•
Workstations or personal computers (IBM PC or Macintosh)
•
Large host mainframes.
While it is possible for a mainframe and several workstations to
be connected to one 4890 printer at the same time, this guide
covers each environment separately.

A workstation or mainframe environment includes the hardware,
the operating system software, and the application software. The
terms “platform” and “application software” are used throughout
this guide to describe both mainframe and workstation
environments.
Platform
A platform is the combination of the hardware environment and
the particular operating system used by that hardware. An
example of a platform is a PC using the PC-DOS operating
system. The 4890 prints documents prepared in application
software residing on a variety of platforms.
