IBM or IBM-compatible
mainframe with 3211
and 4245 interface
Data streams
Application software used with IBM and IBM-compatible hosts in
an online connection generally produces printer output in line
printer or LCDS (Xerox metacode) data streams. For those
products that produce other data streams, 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.
Color specifications
PDL and metacode commands provide highlight color support
for these data streams.
Remote interface
To remotely connect an IBM or IBM compatible mainframe, an
OEM interface and Barr/SNA Bisynchronous Communication
Module are required. In this configuration, the LPS can support
SNA/SDLC or bisynchronous protocol environments.
Data streams
Again, application software for a mainframe in an IBM remote
connection usually outputs line printer or LCDS data streams or
bitmapped .IMG files; these do not require further conversion.
Translators are available to convert AFP to LCDS.
Color specifications
Enhanced PDL or metacode commands.
